Style: Golden Ale/Blond Ale
St. Cloud, Minnesota USA

Serve in English pint, Shaker

Tap at McCann’s on Nov. 17, 2011. Clear light yellow pour with a small white head with decent lacing. Aroma is buttery. Lighter palate but a little creamy. Taste is grain and mild malt. Okay.

Very light, slightly bready nose. Not much taste here (typical of style) Flowery bread in a metal can finish. It’s not horrible but i couldn’tm drink more then one.

Served on draught at the brewpub in St. Cloud, Minnesota. Pours a clear golden straw brew with a fast dissolving white head that dissipates nearly clean with hardly a thin white ring. Aroma of light bready malt, some fruity esters and a touch of citrus zest with Crystal hop character. Taste is light bodied, lots of carbonation with a flavor of mostly Crystal hop/citrus zest, some light white bread malt and a touch of vanilla. Finish is semi-dry, slightly metallic from both Crystal hops and extra carbonation with a slight aftertaste of white bread malt and cirtus zest. A little thin compared to the Little Abbey Ale but I would enjoy this over a maco-brewery produced diet beer.
