On a random run to the store, I picked this one up. I was pleasantly surprised by the aroma and its taste. My first thoughts after a drink were, ’fruity!’, as stated before, it has a very sweet aroma and a malty taste. I like it, good stuff.

12oz bottle poured into a 20oz “pint” glass. It formed a very thin white head that quickly diminished. The color is slightly darker than straw and clear. The aroma is of caramel malts and quite pleasant. The taste is much the same, but to be clear not sweet. It is very easy on the palate. I like this brew.

pour is a hazy yellow with no head. smell is of wheat, hay, and a hint of floral. taste is crisp, wheaty, sweet, and just a little bit bitter. overall not that bad, I’m pleasantly surprised, i normally don’t care for the blonde’s and nor the beers that are made for specific stores (Fred Meyer).

From a 12 ounce bottle - This one pours a golden, fizzy liquid with a dense white head and a really strong malt sugar aroma. The taste is light in body and very malty, with just a touch of hops at the finish. Not a bad beer, but not that great, either. - - - - - By the way, this beer is now contract brewed in Utica, New York by the Matt X Brewery; somebody needs to change the brewer attribution.

Aroma is more hoppy than malty, not strong but still quite inviting, with a bit of an alcohol nip to it. Color is a clear golden, and the head does not persist for long. Flavor is very smooth, crisp, hoppy but only slightly bitter and just a hint of fruity taste. It leaves my mouth feeling satisfied and tingly, ready for another swig.
