JPDIPSO (4189), Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, USA May 14, 2008 Light golden color with a taller off-white head. Milky caramel, light vanilla frosting and bread dough aromas. Sweet and interesting, but not real clean. Lifeless body. Light caramel and pale malt start. Dirty green hops and husky malt flavors in the middle. Light dry earth finish. Why scare someone off with a green and earthy brew?
agl108 (354), Manayunk, Pennsylvania, USA Jul 13, 2008 12 oz. bottle at Flat Rock Saloon. Poured amber with next to no head or carbonation. Umm, this isn’t a blonde ale by the way. Lots of grain, earthy tones (barely) present. So tasteless I thought I was drinking well, nothing. Terrible; avoid at all costs. doubleo (683), San Diego, California, USA Jul 2, 2008 12oz bottle from City Beer. Pours hazy goldfen orange with a moderate white head, decent retention, some lace. Smells sweet and crisp malty, slightly fruity/citrusy, faint hops as well. Tastes malty sweet up front, again somewhat fruity tasting. I don’t get much bitterness, the sweet malt flavors linger nicely. The appearance threw me off, I was expecting something even lighter. Medium/thin body, good carbonation. TURDFERGUSON (1021), Carrboro, North Carolina, USA Jun 30, 2008 Last bottle in the store from TJ’s. Clerk hooked it up for free. Awesome. Pours a golden blonde amber with a small white head that fades before I can pick up the glass again. Nose is earthy, grainy, malty and slightly hoppy. Spent grains kind of overtake the aroma and its nowhere near as nice as the flavor. Flavor is nicely malty and hoppy with a minor bitter bite in the finish. Very drinkable and leaves a nice hoppy flavor on the tongue. This would be great beer pong/beruit beer. Would also work well for keg stands. Rciesla (712), Brick City, New Jersey, USA May 19, 2008 Bottle. Pours golden yellow with bubbly white head. Aroma/flavor is grain, corn, pale malts, mild hop bitterness. eh not very good.
