On tap, Gordon Biersch, San Jose: It looks like a urine sample with a fluffy, off white head. Faint hoppy and sweet aroma. Complex. Sweet, then lemony, then biter. Despite appearances, it’s a keeper.

Draft. Very pale yellowcolor, small white head. Aroma of straw and paper. Taste is bland hay.

Rich malty and slick. Smooth oily finish but a bit muddled and sour? Meh. Blondy ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Bottle. Pours a semi unclear golden orange with minimal white head. Smell is sweet grains, caramel. Taste is more sweet grains, caramel and faint cheap alcohol. Thin and crisp finish. Too sweet and adjunct like for me.

Roasty caramel aroma, very pleasant. Golden amber color, thin quickly dissipating head. Heavy sweetness, with notes that remind me of honey and an alcohol flavor. Thin, fizzy mouthfeel. A case of the whole being better than the some of it’s parts. Not a bad beer, a bit sweet for my personal tastes.

Gordon Biersch Blonde Bock has a thick, off-white head and a clear, golden-orange appearance, with lots of streaming bubbles and some decent lacing. The aroma is of sweet malt, molasses, caramel, and a sting of hops. Taste is the same, and one gets alcohol as well. I was impressed by the prominent hop profile with this one. Mouthfeel is medium, and Gordon Biersch Blonde Bock finishes crisp, clean, refreshing, mostly dry, and not too sweet or alcoholic. Overall, this is an excellent beer. RJT

Not a fan of this one at all. Alcohol sharpness, with nothing to go with it. The aftertaste of the previous beer (G.B. Maibock) is stronger than this beer. A bit of odd flavors but completely forgettable.

Pours a dark golden color. Smell is of malts, biscuts. Taste is malty, biscuty, a touch of sweetness. Overall a refreshing and good beer.

Golden with a sticky white head. Smell had a nice sweet maltiness to it. Light flavored beer with a nice malty flavor. Somewhat sweet. Finish is clean.

Seems to have a brunette on the label? Rather sweet taste is caramel and brown sugar with a side order of toffee. And a garnish of hops.

pours clear & golden with soapy white head. Light bread aroma; medium-modied, nice balance, good finish, mostly bread and hop flavors. Acutally, I can definitively say this tastes most like "beer." Nothing crazy, but good. Why the low ratings? maybe it’s been a long work week, but I very much enjoy this one.
