COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
A crisp Blonde Ale. Golden in color, medium in body—she’s brewed with the help and the honey of Durango ’s Honeyville bees.

From a 12-ounce can at Nob Hill Bar and Grill Albuquerque. Poured a hazy straw color. Slight white head. Slightly grainy aroma also noticed on the flavor. Medium body with light hop bitterness well-matched to carbonation for a refreshing summer beer. Almost crisp finish. Overall, OKAY.

Spleck - what the hell, man!? - why would you put honey in a beer like this? - I can taste and smell it so much in this beer - and it does not work with the crackery malts and moderate hop bitterness at all - it actually serves to lend a medicinal character to the bitterness, which lingers really long into the finish - man.

Yellow - not much head. Aroma has a nice mix of hops and malt. Taste has some hops flavor. Some toasty bitterness in the finish. The style isn’t my favorite, but the taste seems to be pretty good.

can. Pours light clear gold / blond with white head. Aroma of fresh hops, slight fresh cakey malt aspect noticeable. Flavor of hops, somewhat clean finish. Can’t say I really notice the supposed honey aspect to this beer, but I like it nonetheless. It’s better out of the can and a great outdoor can beer. Honestly it seems very underrated on here, it’s really just not a bad beer for what it’s trying to be. Sure, there is a watery aspect, but I don’t want to drink an imperial stout when I’m out fishing in 95 degree weather. Recommended.

delicious golden ale. Tastes even better out of the can. Extremely sessionable, light and crisp. Hints of honey.

Good sumer beer. Nice fruity and malty aroma. Great label. definitely different than what you normally see. Coll comic book type of look. Over all not a really impressive beer, but I would never turn one down. Bitter after taste, but not at all overwhelming.

Couldn’t quite put my finger on it, but I wasn’t impressed by this one at all. Body and taste were ok for this style, but it didn’t come together for me
