Stone Cat Blonde

Draft at Shula’s in Baltimore, MD. Pours pale golden with a dissipating white head. Typical pale lager aroma. This has a decent amount of body and is not overly carbonated like it’s peers. The maltiness has lots of sweet and pale wheat breadiness, with some hints of biscuit, and honey. Hopping rate is very low and puts this somewhat out of balance for my personal tastes. Short and clean finish. Nothing offensive but extremely forgettable.

On tap at Reflections, Lancaster. A nice golden coler with a moderat ehead that doesn’t last long. A good bite of wheat followed by hops. A pretty good hot weather beer.

Figured I’d try out their golden ale (and the three "blends" while I was at it including the ember and half and half). Pours gold with a white head. Smells nutty and earthy. Tastes of sweet sugary wheat, nutty and on the watery side. Slightly better than the brown.

Medium gold. No discernable aroma. Flavor was that of a standard, stock golden ale, just not a lot here to describe folks. Yeast was clean, flavors were pretty nondescript. Dry finish. No wheat discernable. "Beer." Seemed very much aimed at not offending the Bud crowd. Having said this, there was nothing actually wrong with this brew.

Shockoe festival Richmond VA-Draft: Was told it was a golden ale. Weak grain and vegetable taste and aroma. Yellow color, clear, with no head. Decent hop finish.

Didn’t look or smell spectacular. Not a lot of taste. Body wasn’t as thin as you would expect. This beer was very refreshing and could be pretty sessionable. Not finish or aftertaste whatsoever. Don’t know if I would label it a true wheat beer though.

Tap. Poured see through yellow with white head. Looked like a miller lite, coors light, etc. Light aroma of hops and some wheat. Taste was very watered down. Some hop hints present but not strong at all.

On tap at Roland’s Iron Landing in Pittsburgh. Off fermented fruity aroma and taste that is strangely attractive. Barely any carbonation. Ubiquitous pale yellow american lager appearance. Comes on like a good personality pale lager.
