Blonde Ale
This bright blonde ale shines a brilliant malt character. Born of breezes, captured sunlight and whifle, this beer is a balanced yet dry siren whose first sip calls for the third. Hopped with arguable restraint with Crystal and Bravo hops, Cougar stays fierce enough to raise eyebrows yet is tame enough to be called sessionable.

In the can @ home. Pours a pretty clear golden yellow appearance with a big foamy khaki head. Some light candy, corn, toasted malt, and straw in the nose. A little bland. Dull carb. Light caramel. Toasted grain and grass. Light citrus. Kind of boring and bland.

Sample at the Ohio Craft Brew Fest on 09/13/2014: Hazy golden color with a medium thin white head that evaporates steadily. Short strings of lacing. Aroma of grassy hops, malt and fruit. Light-bodied with flavors of mild herbal hops, toasted malt and slight citrus. The finish is lightly bitter with a short grassy hop aftertaste. Slightly above average overall.
