12 oz. bottle. Pours a clear yellow golden color with a medium white head. The aroma is mildly fruity biscuity with a slight splash of honey. The flavor is biscuity malt and lightly fruity. Crisp and refreshing.

All the Mt Carmel Brewery beers are now available in 12 oz bottles. I plan to try them all. The Blonde is a very smooth tasting beer with no after taste. Very enjoyable.

Pours a golden color with a white head. Aroma is subtle and sweet. Flavor is also subtle but crisp. Slight earthy flavor on the finish. Not much else to say about this beer.

On tap at Jungle Jims Spring Brew Fest. Pours out a dark gold topped with a white head. Arom of malt and tast of light hops and malt.

Growler

I found this at the Party Source outside Cincinnati for $11.99. It’s not a bad price though I wish it were available in bottled form so I could have tried the other three releases as well. I may go back at some point for one of the others whenever I am in the region again.

Aroma / Appearance - A one finger bleach white head danced on the surface of a golden transparent body. Wheat and honey crisp form a basic but enjoyable presence.

Flavor / Palate - Honey whole bread has been liquefied and converted to an alcoholic form. Fading fast it does provide a short bit of flavor before dissipating. This is the definition of a lawn mower beer - light on the palate but with enough complexity to make it worth having a few.

On draft at the comet.
Pours a clear amber in color, with a nice head sitting atop. Biscuity and malty in the nose. Taste is a little more crisp and fruity. A smooth drinker that goes down pretty easy.

This was poured from a growler. It started out with a cloudy amber/brown color and a thin white foam head. Comes on with a light sweetness and finishes with a smooth, dry, slightly bitter finish. For an upstart, this is a great brew and I can’t wait to try the rest.

This bottled brew from a bottle shop poured a small sized head of foamy finely sized tan colored bubbles that was long lasting and left behind a semi-hazy light yellow brown colored body and a good lacing. The aroma was malty bready cinnamon and dough. The mouth feel was weakly tingly at the start mediumly tingly at the finish. The flavor contained notes of slightly acidic malt mild hops and semi-sweet.

Draft at Dilly Deli in Mariemont. A big thanks goes out to their staff for all the assistance they gave thedm and I during our first visit there. Friendly and helpful staff. Small white head with sparse lacing, no visible carbonation, and a honey blonde hue. Nose was malty, sweet, hoppy and citrus. Flavor was sweet, some maltiness, somewhat vinuous, and finishes a little bitter. Slightly tingly and dry mouthfeel. Medium body.

Draft at Dilly Deli in Mariemont. Interesting. Needs further review. Very nice appearance. Deep, deep golden color with a white head. Intense earthy, grassy, herb aroma and flavor. Challenging - I’m not sure if I’ve had anything like this before.
