Good alt to the normal mass beers. Glad to support local. A little malty for my tastes

Gold pour with watery white head. Aroma is caramel malt and floral hops. Sweet malt front with a hinto bitter. Light bodied and a tad fizzy.

12 oz, bb 4th week of Aug 2012, so about 3 weeks past prime. Lightly hazy golden-orange with a lasting disc of creamy foam. Aroma is husky grain, honey, resin, earthy dry grass and a touch of plastic skunk. Flavor is creamy honey and toasted corn on the front, turning to dried corn husk and skunk. Light-medium body has medium carbonation and is sweet but fairly well balanced by the dry-grass finish.

12 oz bottle pours golden with a white head. Aroma is sweet malt and a bit of hops. Taste is malt with a slight hop finish. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Nice summer ale, clear golden color, clean hop finish and refreshing. Has the typical fruity and citrus of a seasonal summer ale but could use a bit more bite for my tastes. Still another quality offering from Blackstone!

Bottle from the Market on Washington Street. Pours a hazy gold with big bubbles. Pretty much a straight up golden ale. Non-aggressive notes of hay, very light citrus, bread. Has a faint fruity character that is easily associated with ales. Malts are pretty light and the hops are almost nonexistent. I guess I just need more something for me to enjoy drinking it.

Dark Gold, almost no head. Very still, not many bubbles. Slightly fruity grainy aroma. Clean fruity flavors, smooth body, and a crisp, lightly hoppy finish. Not bad, actually. I suspect it needs to drank very fresh.
