A good, crisp blonde ale. Nice citrus hop character with a clean flavor profile. Good carbonation level with a relatively dry finish. Overall, a good blonde ale. Not a style I particularly enjoy, but this one’s pretty well done.

pours gold with medium head. Aroma of dried fruit, apricot with a little funkiness and mustiness. Flavor is mild and understated... grass and cedar with a hop bite in the middle. Tastes a lot like oeral from de dolle. I love this beer.

12 oz. bottle turned into a gusher upon popping the top. Super strong champagne effervescence. Must have started refermenting. Fruity with a hint of funk. Fairly dry. OK.

This was a wonderfully fresh and crisp beer with lots of citrus and some spiciness that went great with a 4th of July BBQ.
