COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Falls Dirty Blonde Ale is a not quite traditional English Blonde Ale. This refreshing brew carries the memories of the easy breezes of summer evenings. Maybe your first date in Minocqua. The light tan color and white long lasting head continue to invite. Our malt bill for this wonderful brew includes pale, light crystal and wheat malt. Traditional English hops provide a rich earthy aroma. An infusion of honey is left on the palate. It’s easy to enjoy after a long walk on a summer evening. A great session brew, if the session isn’t too long.

A little dissapointing the second time around after the new label. Poured a bright golden colour, dull not a whole lot of carbonation- little to no head. Aroma is somewhat grainy and taste is decent and filling but not sort of lifeless.

Dirty blond, er orange to yellow with a thin white head, slowly dissipating and a lively look you’d expect from a blond. Aroma of malt, grain, caramel and dust. Taste of lemon, pale malts and a sour miss match with an aftertaste so bad I can’t define it. Somewhat astringent and a touch spicy. I learned about this one in Econ 103… the law of diminishing returns… started off okay and got worse with every sip.

yellow, a bit cloudy, slight head, very bubbly. nose of corn (or corn syrup) and air. the flavor is too sweet for me. not a terrible brew, but not a lot going on here (just sweet).

UPDATED: JAN 8, 2008 Average on my scale. Grassy, acidic, and light. Even the woman on the label is average.

This pours a yellow/gold body with lazy bubbling and a smallish white head. It’s got an aroma of dry corn and wheat. A very mild grassy bitterness is added to the flavor. In the commercial description it states, "A great session brew, if the session isn’t too long." I cannot argue with that.

GeneralGao (3545) - Iowa City, Iowa, USA - OCT 19, 2007
12 oz bottle. Poured a clear light orange color. Head was white and reduced in about a minute to a thin film. Minimalist aroma consisting only of light grassy hops. Dry on the tongue with light apple and cardboard flavors accented by mild hop bitterness and a bit of acidity. Bad news.

Juelze (1123) - Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA - SEP 17, 2007
Pours a golden color with thin white head. Aroma is of of corn, sourness, diacetyl, and mild malt. Taste is much the same but the sourness is really off-putting. At least I get to stare at the hot woman woman on the bottle while I chug this crap down.

12oz bottle-A golden body with a nice white head. Aroma of slight malt and corn. Taste of corn with a funky taste and a dry back end.

That traditional earthy hop aroma comes off as more of an old corn aroma, can’t believe there is none in hereTaste is very grainey,actually a nice body but wait ,here comes some sharp harshness in the finish. Back to the drawing board on this one.Better check that hop supply

detroiter (958) - Euphoria, Minnesota, USA - JUL 28, 2007
Hazy gold with a touch of orange color. Full fluffy head of white foam that is unfortunately too short lived. Aroma is mild but a little sweet and fruity. Peppery hops, moderately bittered. Smooth drier malt, perhaps a touch of wheat. A little bit of honey and even pear in the finish. Body just shy of medium, a good session beer.
