Stone Cat Blonde

Weak and watery tasting, with a slightly musty aroma. Not very pleasant, but not terribly unpleasant either, just not much flavor. They filtered out all the flavor when they filtered the wheat. Disappointing.

Draught at Old Dominion BF. Clear golden color. Citrusy aroma, pretty thin bodied. Didn’t have any wheat character. Nothing too special.

Sampled at Dominion Brewfest ’06. Clear golden with a white head. Grainy, light lemon aroma. Flavor has notes of lemon, slightly wheat-y, a little banana and light grain. Moderately bitter at the end. Light body with spritzy carbonation. Not awful but very boring and watery, needs more flavor.

A very light, very weak golden ale. I had no idea that it was a wheat, and has very little wheat characteristics. Drinkes like a below average lager, with a slight cheap beer taste. Unimpressive .

Bready and sour aroma. Cloudy golden hue with an ample white head. Has a lager feel and flavor palate at first sip. Some malt and yeast come in later, but even they taste more like a mild Enflish ale than a wheat beer. Doesn’t taste bad really. Just doesn’t taste like a wheat beer.

Draught @ Old Dominion Beer Festival 2005: Clear, completely filtered straw yellow with a small fizzy white head that quickly fades. Aroma: distinct lemon, bready wheat, and honey. Taste: strong lemon flavor (did they brew this with lemon or add some type of lemon syrup?), bubblegum, and mild wheat flavors. Light bodied, moderate carbonation, crisp and clean. Finishes with slightly bitter herbs. Personally I didn’t like the complete lack of yeast, and the obvious filtering though I guess that’s to be expected in an american wheat.

Re-rate...Draft at RFD in D.C., March 2006... Clear, yellow ale with a small, fizzy, white head. Fruity, grainy aroma with notes of apple, wheat and lemon. Thin flavor, but well-balanced and refreshing. Fruity and lightly tart. Light-bodied and fizzy. Finishes crisp and dry... Original rating... Draft at Old Dominion Beer Festival 2005... Clear, straw-colored ale with a small, fizzy, white head. Lemon, bread, bubblegum and orange blossom honey in the nose. Nicely hopped. Light-bodied and fizzy. Crisp, medium bittter finish.

Pours a straw-colored yellow, hazy with a white head. Aroma of grass clippings (my wife said lemon). Tasted kind of herby and floral, with a hint of oil of bergamot. Nice texture.
