3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Interesting blonde. Nice looking. Very perfume-like and floral. Dryish aftertaste with an herbal bitterness. Odd at first, but in time I found it to be a pleasant beer.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
As nice looking a blonde as you will encounter with a tanned body topped with perch of fluffy white. This brew seems to use a yeast with Belgian influences. Restrained yeast nose with a pleasant esteriness in aroma and flavor. Full-bodied, bready, and mild Belgian yeast body with some warming citrus zest on the finish. Candi sugar and a pinch of bubble gum arise towards the bottom of the glass.

Grainy bready nose with some citrus hops. Golden, a little hazy, decent lasting head. The flavor carries some grainy malt flavors, some biscuity malts, and a earthy presence as well. Some soft bitterness cleans out the finish.

On draught at the brewpub in Birdsview, Washington. Pours a clear golden blonde brew with a creamy white head that has some nice retention and excellent lacing. Aroma of golden grain malt, some citrus zest, a touch of pepper spice and light yeast. Taste is light to medium bodied, with flavors of chalky golden grain malt, dry leafy hops and some biscuit character. Finish has a semi-dry texture with some lingering dry spiced bitterness.

Blond ale with a light haze. Nice aroma of citrus and some light hops. Smooth, clean and with a touch of citrus. A weel constructed ale.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 11/20
On Draught at the Brewery. Aroma is sweet malt forward, with some caramel and no hop tones. Beer is a hazy yellow straw with a low white head. Flavor has a low malt character, solid bittering, with some grassy, citrus hop flavors. Slightly sour. Medium/high carb feel, medium body, no creaminess. Overall, not bad, but definitely not sweet or creamy enough for my tastes; too many earthy notes for the style.
