Commercial Description:
Aud Blonde may be the lightest colored beer we have ever brewed at Russian River Brewing Company, but don't be fooled into thinking that this beer is light in flavor. It has a refined characteristic, which can be contributed to us blending pilsner malt with a unique hop called crystal. The distinctive characteristic of the crystal hop lends a citrus, almost eucalyptus quality in the aroma and mouth feel of the brew, while leaving the beer with a long dry finish.

Big thanks to golubj. Pours cyrstal clear golden/yellow with a small but strong head. Aroma is lightly bread-y malts with light earthy hops. Taste is a nicely dry with a nice blend of pils malt and lightly sweet white-bread maltiness. Also has a lightly bitter and very calm hoppy finish. I really like it, easy drinking with a pils/Belgian mix.
Growler form brewpub.

Sampler at the RR Brewpub (Santa Rosa, CA). Poured with a straw yellow body, sizable head for the time it sat. Mellow sweetness on the nose and in the taste. Sweetness reminds of bready cakey light sweetness mixed with just a splash of bittering. Smooth and simple, a good "Gateway" beer for many and a brewe my girlfriend liked a bunch.

Draught. Straw and hop nose. Light butter notes. Clear pale gold with no head. Strong pilsner malt character, straw/grass with a bit of hop character and some fruit esters, mostly grapes. Tart finish. Nice texture, dry.

draft @ brewery - straw gold and clear and again with no head; aromas are a grassy mix of lemons, citrus and mild hops; drinks dry with pleasant semi-sweet finish; a little on the bland side, but that’s easy to be against the rest of the menu
