Commercial Description:
Inspired by one of America’s traditional 19th-century beer styles: cream ale. Back 40 Blonde Ale is pale gold with a fruity, floral hop aroma and a velvety mouthfeel. A nice, mild malt flavor and a smooth, dry finish round out this tasty brew!

(On tap at the brewery on September 6, 2008) Uncle Billy’s Back 40 Blonde Ale, on tap at the brewery. I missed this one (intentionally) last time I was here. It has a very yellow/orange, similar color but less cloudy than their hefeweizen. Its aroma like a lively lager, very light, bright... and its flavor a little hoppy, mostly fruity, almost sour... lemons, apples?

Sampled @ Uncle Billys BrewCue. Aluminum tank aroma. Hazy gold body with white head. Starchy grains with some bitterness. Somewhat of a stale aftertaste on the palate.

Pours a clear and golden color into the glass with a slight white head. Aroma is kind of plain, but a little earthy. Flavor is balanced with a little lemon flavor. Not creamy like I would expect a cream ale to be. On tap.

light cloudy yellow, no head. beautiful appearance. Nice outdoor aroma, medium light sweet smell. Slighty sour taste, perfect middle of the road carbonation. My favorite iteration of the style. Very small bite on the finish. Medium/light lacing on the glass. Good , good on a Texas Saturday afternoon.

Pours a clear golden yellow. Little to no head. Lightly carbonated. Has an earthy pine aroma. Smooth full flavor, some hops and some fruit notes.
