Farmington River Blonde Ale

(12oz bottle) Hazy straw body topped by small off-white head that leaves nice lacing. Aroma is medium sweet, orange/floral, pear/cantaloupe. Taste is medium sweet, grapefruit, some orange, light bread, straw. Watery light body with some chalk.

Bottle: Poured a golden amber with a solidly huge poofy head of white foam. The aroma is somewhat yeasty and a tad bit citrus-flowery. Drinks with quite the light presentation all the way around ... slightly musty, not unlike an American wheat with a bit of a hazy yeasty flow. The finish is tight and tangy. Decent little light ale, if a bit earthy. Bring on the fish and chips. (#3128, 10/8/2007)

pours a nice clear gold with a one finger fluffy white head. aroma is a nice orange hops with some malt. has a light to medium body with descent lacing and some nice carbonation. flavor is orange peel hops a little pine and malt. has a little corn aroma and flavor also. not the best i have had but not bad. just a bit thin, but has a nice little carbonation bite and a nice little dry hop aftertaste. has a little creamy feel to it and as it warms more malt comes out in aroma and flavor. also has a little grain taste, this is almost bordering a strong pils. descent session ale.

Looks like a promising beer - a cloudy yellow with a white head. Lacking in a lot of texture - very watery and bitter. A littl ebit of orange rind flavor to it. As it got warmer it got harder to finish.
