COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This handcrafted brew is our most popular beer. Could it be the mild hop character and smooth drinkability that brings people back? The light color and medium body? The name?

Malthus sweet aroma with a bit of citrus. The flavor is similar. A bit thin. Should be a good summer refresher.

Emeister84 (464) - Charlottesville, Virginia, USA - APR 22, 2013
Light floral and peachy aromas. Mostly clear orange with golden highlights, and with a lasting, white head. Dry and slightly fruity, with hints of nutty and caramel tones. Light bodied, snappy, crisp, and clean, with a very light sweetness, and subtle spice.

MadRobin (1061) - Silver Spring, USA - APR 14, 2013
On tap 5 oz. sampler at DuClaw in Bowie, MD. Clear, dark amber with a small off-white head and good lacing. More of a auburn than a blonde. Aroma of grain and grass. Taste of grain, mild caramel, hops and bread. Medium/light body and medium carbonation. There is nothing complex here, but there is nothing bad about the beer either. It is a refreshing alternative to the all-too-typical wimpy blonde. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Kinz (3023) - Glen Allen, Virginia, USA - APR 13, 2013
Medium gold. clear. Nice mild pale malt aroma. Flavor is lightly malty, some pleasant faintly floral balancing hops. Not special, but nice. Slutfest!

Butters (3356) - Richmond, Virginia, USA - APR 13, 2013
Sampled at Slutfest 4 - Sexytime! pours a clear yellow straw with ring of white head. A little tangy wheaty. semi sweet lemon fainty. fairly decent. Nothing particularly amazing though

Bamaboy1975 (99) - Suffolk, Virginia, USA - MAR 23, 2013
Single finger head with excellent lacing on a clear deep gold with slight copper hue body. Light aroma with mostly breads and barely, some wheat and slightly bitter. Very wet mouthfeel with lighter side of moderate carbonation and creamy body. Nice semisweet fruity body especially in the finish with wheat and pale malt background. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

TizzleJizzle (420) - Garland, Texas, USA - MAR 19, 2013
On tap for free at the Resident Inn Arundel Mills. Score! Poured a clear apple juice color with a white top and great lacing (especially for the style). Taste of caramel malts, honey, slight floral finish. Light body, medium carbonation.

BelgianBeerGal (2615) - Dayton Area, Ohio, USA - MAR 14, 2013
Sample at Grape and Gourmet. Not bad just bland. Very gentle aroma and flavors. Yawn.

MDSwift83 (14) - Maryland, USA - MAR 2, 2013
Very typical for a light ale. Smooth and easy to drink but not a lot of taste or aroma.

jgb9348 (4027) - Arlington (Pentagon City), Virginia, USA - FEB 17, 2013
Crisp golden coloured body with a thin white head that fades fast. Aroma ofmetal, alcohol, a hint of light fruits and some definite vomit. Light-bodied; Sharp pungent malt flavour with a lot of light fruits, some metal and a hint of sweetness, but a mildish flavour mostly of malt. Aftertaste shows some nicer malt, a little earthy flavour, some light sugars and not much else. Overall, a fairly mild blonde with more malty tastes than I’d expect and a decidedly lager-like flavour. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Total Wine in McLean, Virginia on 07-February-2013 sampled at home in Washington on 16-February-2013.
