2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Blonde coloured body with a bright white head. Aroma of light malt, a touch of alcohol and very little else. Medium to Light-bodied; Fresh malt flavour with a hint of citrus and not much else except hay. Aftertaste is quite minimal in complexity with only some light malt and citrus coming through. Overall, not such a great beer, but nice in the heat of Southern California. I sampled this pint on draught at the brewpub with haddon90 in Newport Beach, California on 27-August-2011.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
A: The beer pours a pale straw color with a short lived white head.
S: Smells almost entirely like corn. Maybe just a slight graininess to it. Some grassy hop notes as well as some straw. Perhaps a touch of bread if I’m feeling generous.
T: A mild bitterness which is pretty much expected for a blonde ale. Like the nose, tons of corn with just a hint of grain/malt and bread. Minimal grassy hop contributions.
M: Light in body with a medium level of carbonation.
O: Light and corny, not really my thing.

UPDATED: OCT 4, 2010 Sample at the brewpub. Pours a clear pale golden color with a thin and fizzy white head that burns away quickly. Spotty lacing. Aroma of grainy malt and mild hops. Light body with flavors of sweet malt and grassy hops. The finish is malty with a sweet grain aftertaste. Average overall.
2.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 9/20
Aroma is faint lemon and pale malt dust. Appearance is blond as it should be with a thin white head. Tastes a little bit like a beefed up pale lager. Not sure that I’m buying the bolder flavor in this blonde ale. Meh.
