bitter (1137), Henderson, Nevada, USA Jan 12, 2006 somewhere on draft in breckinridge: usual punishement for this beer cloudy yellow gold with a white full head. nose of yeast and bananas, possible earthen soil nose. quite sweet on the uptake to a tangy citrus end of thiness. probably the goddamn lemon they put in it. although i did take it out immediately. hopdog (5534), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA Dec 27, 2005 Updated: Jan 5, 200612oz bottle acquired in trade with robertsreality (thanks!). Poured a medium and cloudy golden color with a very small sized white head. Aromas of bananas, cloves, grain and light citrus. When first poured I got a strong wet hay aromas that quickly went away. Tastes of bananas, wheat and light cloves. Starts of lightly honey sweet and ends in a light tart finish. Thin body that is typical of this style. kujo9 (1077), North Ridgeville, Ohio, USA Dec 20, 2005 12 oz bottle, sometime over the summer: Lghtyl hazy& fizzy w/ a light golden body and little to no head. I’ll blame a dirty glass. Immediate nose is sweet w/ apple cider, then a sharp grainy wheat malt. The malt softens as it warms which also lends to a peppery yeast aroma. Wheat malt flavor, a bit sulphury yeast, some clovey phenolic flavors with some banana fruitiness. Highly carbonated, spritzy m/f, smooth, light bodied. A bit of a sweet malty in the finish. A great lawnmower beer, and the bit of spicyness is a plus for a lighter style of beer. Unless of course they weren’t really shooting for a bit of a "Belgian" turn. Pailhead (2572), Allen Park, Michigan, USA Dec 5, 2005 Bottle: Courtesy of Styles. Aroma has light banana, wheat, and hints of citrus. There is something else in the aroma that is really throwing things off but I can’t pinpoint the distinct aroma. Pours a cloudy orangish-yellow with a small white head. Flavors of banana, wheat and light tart citrus. Some Euro-lager sweetness makes it’s presence known in the finish with the slightest hints of spice. ChazyRPh (571), Chazy, New York, USA Dec 3, 2005 Clear blonde pour with fizzy non-lasting white head. Grassy, metallic, wheat, citrus aroma. Metallic initial flavor, decent wheat presence, pretty full mouthfeel. Tangy, tart, spritzy, carbonation dries out my mouth a little. Mild citrus presence, mild belgian yeast presence, mostly grassy wheat. I catch a hint of banana. I don’t care for the metallic aroma & taste, overall average for style. Panzuriel (992), Westerville, Ohio, USA Dec 3, 2005 Clear Pale gold in color wiht a fine white head. Nose is mildly flora hops. Mouthfeel is fizzy and tangy. Flavour is similar floral hops, but restrained. finish is a little dry, grassy and herbal. ehhdayton (1113), USA Nov 29, 2005 The aroma is slightly yeasty with a touch of fruit and spice. The beer bours a light hazy yellow with a small white head. the flavor is light with some citrusy overtones and a bit of bitterness. HogTownHarry (3922), Toronto (Harbourfront), Ontario, Canada Nov 6, 2005 Bottle (12oz). Poured very pale yellow with a small diminishing white head. Sourish lemony aroma, very mild, some yeast and weak grain - gets progressively more sour, almost geuze-y as it warms. Taste is very disappointing - weak, fizzy then flat, there’s hints of hops and malt and fruit and sourness, but it ultimately feels like a fizzy ade. Possibly the worst blonde I’ve tasted - no wise cracks!
