Good for a blond ale. Has some nice citrus flavour but simply too thin. A good beer for summer.

Sample at the brewpub. The beer is a clear yellow-amber color with a medium thin white head that evaporates quickly to an outer ring. Spotty lacing on the glass. Aroma of mild hops and bready malt. Light body with a lightly bitter hops character and sweet malt in the background. The finish is short with a grainy malt aftertaste. Solidly average beer overall.

On tap at Big Time. Poured pale clear yellow/orange with a white head. Almost no aroma, but I think I detected a slight hint of orange. Light bitterness, light sweetness, light finish.

Draft at Big Time. Pours a hazy light amber with coppery overtones. Loose white head. Mild grassy and biscuity nose. Creamy medium body with somewhat understated carb. A little bit of orange present on the mid-palate, but far underneath a toasty, biscuity, slightly grassy flavor profile. A classic well-enough-made blonde, very refreshing and easy to drink. Not a deeply inspired recipe but those are very hard to find in this style.

Some times I am a man of few words. This beer was Ok.

Draft. Golden beer with a whitish head. Light malt and light spice aroma. Light malt and light cookie flavor. Medium bodied. Light cookie dough notes linger with light sweetness and light hops.

on tap at big time brewery in seattle. typically blonde ale, a little flat in the flavor department

Clear dark golden with a white head. Nice honey malt aroma. Light/Medium body. Decent honey malt grainy flavor with a crisp, clean finish. Draft@ Big Time.

Clear golden with thin head. Overly sweet for me, and non-existent hops. Wheat comes through more than a hint. Nice and light for a session beer, but not much to get excited about.

9/4/07 On draught at the brewery. Aroma is sweet, slightly grainy malt forward with caramel and light candy notes. Appearance is clear yellow with a moderate white head. Flavor is bubblegum sweet malt with a true sugar note and low hop citrus. Mouthfeel is a little odd, with an odd graint/low carb texture on the tongue and a sweet finish. Overall, too candilike, but good and drinkable.

on tap-pours a white head and yellow color. Aroma is mild grain, musty, some citrus. Taste is sweet mild grain, musty, some citrus/faint flat hops. OK/mild carbonation.
