A complex hoppy blonde ale bursting with Mosaic hops and a malty backbone for a full flavored taste explosion.

Pours a clear light gold, a finger of foam. Smells of pine, earthy malt, lemon.
Taste is pine forward with an earthy malt flavour and a bit of tobacco.
Light bodied with zesty carbonation.
I wanted a simple Blonde Ale that was refreshing; this ain’t it. Too hoppy for the style I reckon.

Bottle. A- Citrus, hoppy, pine. A- Gold color, hazy liquid, white head. T- Pine, citrus, medium bitterness, wheat. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, slightly bitter finish. O- More pale ale than blonde ale but pretty thirst quenching. Gets more bitter as it warms but nicely balanced. Good stuff.

12 oz bottle from a six pack from the grocery store. Aroma is pretty muted altogether, but it’s a bit floral, a bit citrusy, a bit grainy, some caramel. Pours clear deep golden, bordering on copper, with a medium white head that falls after a minute into a ring; leaves some lace. Taste is nice and hoppy, highly bitter for style, clean, crisp and refreshing. Really tasty for a golden ale.
