Bottle.
Head is initially small, frothy, white, mostly diminishing.
Body is dark yellow.
Aroma is lightly malty (toasted grain), lightly to moderately hoppy (flowers, grapefruit/lemon), lightly yeasty (dough).
Flavor is lightly to moderately sweet, lightly to moderately acidic, lightly to moderately bitter.
Finish is lightly sweet, lightly to moderately acidic, moderately bitter.
Light to medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation, lightly alcoholic.
Very little aroma, and fairly stark, acrid, and thin in the mouth. This is really 7.5%?? Seems more like 4.5.
2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
12 oz. bottle in a shaker. Golden amber pour with a lot of frothy head. Sharp hop and apple aroma. Strong hoppy flavor. Not very well balanced. I don’t know if it’s the style or just this beer, but definitely not one of my favorites.
2.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
Beautiful golden pour w/a nice medium head and carbonation. However, the frontend dryness and bitter just didn’t work for me.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Nose of floral earthy hops, nice citrusy undertones as well. Dry and grainy, definitely light wheat and bread. Pours pale golden, nice head and decent lace. The flavor is dry with light bread, grain, wheat, citrus and floral bitterness. Light, but nice and hoppy, fresh and bitter. Dry and resiny. Good blonde.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
High quality beer no doubt. First few sips the best - lots of flavor up front, hoppy finish but brief and crisp. After five sips, different story. Dry, bitter. Not exactly a blonde. But hearty, and goes the distance.
2.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle: in the aroma, lemony hops, lemon grass, kind of soapy, floor cleaning liquid, herbal, rose water and a bit of oranges, flavor wise, sharp bitterness, soap again, some wheaty notes, citrusy hops, short but strong aftertaste, not so good.
4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
12 ounce bottle from the beer of the month club, poured into a long thin pilsner type glass. Cloudy yellow straw color with a thick foamy head that recedes quickly. Some light fruity aromas, citrusy and even a little tropical.
Very different malty type flavor with a spicy hop profile that’s mostly grassy with a bit citrusy piney mix along with a very dry lingering finish. Pretty lite bodied and well carbonated. Somewhat easy to drink, not anything what I expected. Very big flavor profile that I found leaving myself wanting more.
