2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pale hazy yellow colour with a thick white head. The aroma is slightly spicy with an unfortunate whiff of diacetyl in it. Fairly decent hop flavour for the style though.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle: Straw in color, very hazy and thick, thin to moderate frothy white head, spotty lacing.
Strong straw/hay nose, seems a little bright, some tart or sour notes coming through as well. Grassy on the
tongue, quite mealy, otherwise hay/straw with a smidgen of basement funk. &bnsp Certainly light, maybe even a bit
wheaty. Body and mouthfeel are moderate. This is like a Blonde crossed with an American Wheat, but without
the sulfer. Not bad, light, certainly a thirst quencher, but overall rather dull and boring. Nothing to
think about once you have finished a glass.

Draught@Harmon Brewery brewpub, Tacoma, WA
Hazy yellow color, small white head, lace. Wheaty banana aroma with hints of grains and fruity hops. Quite good body for 3.8% beer. Sweetish fruity front, wheat, some banana, candy ... Light citrusy hoppyness. Tasty beer, I would say almost hefeweizen. I think that they may have tweaked the recipe since last raters.

Had a taste platter at the Harmon in downtown tacoma. This one was on it. Maybe its my taste buds but I haven’t been enjoying blondes lately. This one was ok. Light flavor with a sweet zing aroma to it

pours a pale yellow with a very small white head, and not much lacing.
smell is of grain, and some citrus.
taste is faint, light wheat, some citrus, and a little banana, ends a little dry.
overall more like a lager than a blond.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle. Pours clear golden yellow with a lacy white head. Grass, honey and biscuit aroma. Med-light body and carbonation. Bread, biscuit, toffee and grass taste, crisp finish. Aside from the need for just a tad more hops, and brewing with an ale yeast rather than a lager, this is a pretty decent Pils.
