JoeMcPhee (4978), Jackson Heights, New York, USA Nov 17, 2009 Pale golden pour with a nice sticky white head. The nose is fairly hoppy up front with a lot of grapefruit and a bit of sweet fruit as well. A touch of light earthiness with a kiss of light zestiness. A little bit of lingering orange peel flavour. It’s pretty nice really. Good balance with a nice hoppy finish. Lubiere (4480), Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Nov 15, 2009 A golden ale with a very thin white head. In aroma, nice floral hops, curry notes, and orange pulp. In mouth, a surprisingly hoppy blonde ale with good floral hops, light grapefruit, citrus, medium bodied, quite nice. On tap at Cisco Brewpub, Logan Airport, Nov. 15 2009. CUJO (339), Brooklyn, New York, USA Oct 31, 2009 sample RnH: so here’s the thing.... used this beer as a palate cleanser between some Barley Wines and such. In comparison, this beer was thin and flimsy... however I need to revisit this beer again to be fair... Leighton (254), New York, New York, USA Oct 26, 2009 On tap at Rattle n Hum. Pours a rich gold with a bubbly white head. Nose of hops and some sweet malts. Flavor is quite deep. Plenty of hops with some yeasty notes. Pretty heavy. Finish is mildly bitter and crisp. Very tasty. potbeercollege (311), Boulder, Colorado, USA Aug 10, 2009 Draught from Brewery. Dark yellow, thin fine white head. Lacy. Strong floral/earthy hop aroma with sweetness from malts. Very hoppy floral taste with light sweetness but ends with lasting bitterness... very hoppy for a blonde ale. Great Blondie blklab2007 (952), Connecticut, USA Jul 12, 2009 bottle poured a hazy golden straw color with a huge foamy white head. aroma has sweet fruit, citrus, wheat, and some yeast. light mouth feel with peppy carbonation. flavor has a wheat malted body, citrus bitter hops, a bit of honey, and some yeast. thornecb (1747), Marblehead, Massachusetts, USA May 13, 2009 Pours deep gold into a shaker. Bright white micro head tophats rim and does not recede. Sharp resin aromas. Crisp with underlying band-aid, biscuit, crackers and bread upfront. Resinous hop finish. cbeers21 (564), Miami, Florida, USA May 13, 2009 Draft. Clearish deep golden with wafts of cereal and citrus off the top. A lingering grapefruited and powerful stinging bitterness emerges out of nowhere in the late palate for an unusual conclusion to a relatively tame forefront. I enjoyed the rapid variation in character.
