A mild ale...aroma is earthy, with some light citrus and grain/cereal character (also present in the flavor). Squarely in the refreshing but not very exciting catergory.

Sampled on 5/12/2012. This blonde ale pours a medium orange gold color from a 22oz bottle. Small to medium sized white foamy head. The aroma is cereal, fruity and sweet. A medium bodied blond/golden ale. The malts are cereal, fruity and sweet. The hops are herbal and slightly citrusy. Decent carbonation. This beer is a blonde ale; a touch sweet, mildly hoppy and somewhat bland tasting. It is what it is, it’s not all that bad, but it’s still a blond ale. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet.

Has a nice, strong malty aroma with a firm overtone of orange and hints of yeast and hay. It pours a clear sunny yellow with a thick and fluffy white head that disappears rather quickly. Flavor is malty, crisp and a little fruity, with just a whisper of hop bitterness - not complex, but still refreshing. Texture is smooth and fairly fizzy, a teeny on the thin side.

A golden colored beer with a small, fuzzy textured, white head rising briefly above. No hang time on this one. Settles into a thin soapy ringlet. A light, grainy nose. Nearly skunked. Pretty straightforward in tasting. Some sweet malt, a tad more grassy, grainy. Light bodied and crisp. Overall, not offensive, just glad I have one bottle.

The least flattering thing about this beer was probably it's aroma. It smelled a little stale, and resembled corn quite a bit. Taste was grainy, light and malty. It had such a light mouthfeel. Incredibly light actually. but spritzy. Hops, corn and grain on the nose. A rather lifeless beer but i get what they were attempting here.

This one poured a cloudy darkish gold, with a small foamy head and not much lacing here. The aroma was floral and hopped, and also a bit bitter. The taste was again of hops with some floral hints, with a slightly bitter mouthfeel. Refreshing!
