A lovely all-natural, handcrafted ale from just 30-minutes south of me. Pours with heavy head from the classic growler. Beautiful light amber color looks just lovely in a pint glass. Strikes a great balance of malt and hops, with a mildly sweet malty flavor that finishes with a crisp hoppy finish (but never overdoing it). Tastes great from the growler, but is even better on tap! I’m giving this beer a slight reviewer’s tilt because it’s a great ale that should make SW/Western Ohio beer fans proud! It will probably replace Anchor and Sierra Nevada as my typical "daily drinkers". You can get the growlers of all three of Mt. Carmel’s beers at Cuvee wine bar, in the South Dayton/Bellbrook area. They also serve this one on tap occasionally. Props to Cuvee to the introduction to this one. See http://cuveewinebar.net/ for directions.

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.

I enjoyed this beer in it’s first week of existance at Nicholson’s, downtown Cincinnati. Since they blew the first keg of it in ONE day, this was from the second keg. It’s been about two months since I’ve had it now but I’m very excited for this brewer(y) and their beers. Unfortunately I can’t describe in much detail but I remember it being very clean tasting, no off flavors. Hoppy aroma and taste, but not overpowering. Smooth and yummy! Definately recommended!

I’m glad to have the opportunity to get a growler of this brew. Made right in my hometown of Cincy, OH. Even if it wasn’t made in Cincy, I would still give this a high rating. A citrus zest, with more floral-like hops than I was expecting from a blonde ale, smooth malts make a great finish, and not overpowering bitterness. Great tasting, but light enough for summer heat, all in one. Great job for the boys at Mt. Carmel Brewing. I can’t wait to try the others.

Had this on tap at Mac’s in Clifton, more of a golden than blonde color. Has an enjoyable bite, not too much but its there. Sorta sweet, but not overly so. Crisp and goes down fairly easy, a very enjoyable beer.
