A nice smooth golden blonde style ale sampled at the brewery in Hood River, OR. Nice and crisp and somewhat sweet.

I found this to be one of the more appealing blonde ales out there. Crips straw yellow color with a ring of head. Lightly spritely aroma of fruity and floral Mt. Hood hops piques the nose. Lightly hoppy body with nice consistency and a balance between fruitiness and floral hopping. Crisp, mildly bitter finish with slight pilsen malt twang.

Draft at the brewpub. Clear, ruddy gold in color. Aroma was decent; crisp, bready with hint of earth/grass. Flavor was bready and yeast, with some grassy/earth hops in the finish. Ok beer.

Draft at the brewpub. Pours a pale yellow color with a small white head. Has a sweetish malty aroma with some grassy hints. Sweetish malty slightly hoppy grassy flavor. Has a sweetish malty grassy hoppy finish.

Almost colorless, light yellow if anything. A faint aroma of malt. No body, with only a little malt, The best thing about this beer is the name.
