3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
My Bottom Line:
Toasted and caramelized cereals overcome the herbal hops and their bitterness in this easygoing Blonde Ale.
Further Personal Perceptions:
-A ring of foam circles the nearly clear gold.
-While the first half of the sip is pretty sweet, the second half can be said to be well dried out.
-Once again, the nose is very timid and not enticing.
-All of their beers had a level of sweetness that is not necessary in session ales of the sort they brew.
On tap at the brewpub.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pours a bubbly clear yellow with white lacing. Aroma is diacytl, butter and almond. Mouthfeel is slippery.
2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Pours pale golden with small fizzy head. Grainy with a strong caramel sweetness. Malty flavor, but kind of skunky. Not very crisp and sort of muttled. Hoped for a blonde to be a little more refreshing.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
(Draught) Pours a clear pale yellow with a small off-white head. Aroma of honeycomb, toasted grain, and nuts. Flavor of toasted grain, cereal, grass, subtle honey, and delicate florals.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
On tap at the BruRoom Brew Pub. Poured a lighter golden color with a smaller sized white head. Aromas and tastes of grains, citrus and a matly sweetness. LIght lacing left on the glass.
2.3 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
The best thing about this beer is its amusing commercial description. The beer itself is unremarkable and weak. I do like the toasted quality, although it’s merely a hint. You get a lot of it in the first taste, but as you have more it disappears. There is no complexity to this beer--much like all the beers to come out of this brewery. I am disappointed.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
on tap-pours a white head and gold color. Aroma is grain. Taste is sweet grain, secondary/faint light hops. Mild carbonation.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pours a translucent golden with hints of amber and an average creamy lacing head. Aroma of toasted grainy biscuit malt with hints of citrus. Flavor of light hop bitterness, toasted malts, soft pretzel, cereal grains and hints of lemon.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
6 ounce sample on tap at CT Brewer’s Festival in Hartford, CT. Slight lemony, biscuity aroma with mild citric notes. A bit of grassiness is present as well. Delicate and fair. Transparent golden body with virtually no head whatsoever. Biscuity, dry, bready grainy maltiness to start. Finishes crisp with some grassy hops. Quenching, serviceable light ale.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Golden with a medium white head. Toasted aroma with hints of butter and citrus. Flavor is thicker than one would expect, but doesn’t finish well and the hop balance isn’t great. suprisingly good, but probably one of their worst beers there, although a good choice on a hot day or if you’re into golden ales.
