2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
On tap at the brewery in San Marcos, served in a tasting glass. Pours clear golden with a tiny remnant of a head that leaves a trace of lace. The nose has notes of grass and grain. The flavour is medium sweet with grass and grainy malts with just a hint of honey. The finish is moderate in length with continuation of the grass and grain notes. On the palate, it is light-medium in body with a watery texture and soft carbonation. Overall, this is a fairly unremarkable golden ale. 2013-03-22

A pretty insipid blonde ale. Watery, buttery, undeveloped. Yet somehow the head brewer thinks it is worthy.

Sample at the brewpub. Pours a clear yellow-gold color with a thin and fizzy white head that diminishes quickly. Spotty lacing. The aroma is mildly hoppy and malty. Light-bodied with a slightly spiced hops flavor as well as some bready malt. The finish is clean and lightly bitter hops with a lingering grainy malt aftertaste. Straightforward overall.
