Our American blonde ale is a soft and delicate ale brewed with pilsner malt and jasmine flower. The addition of jasmine adds a floral and slightly fruity layer. Single speed pours a crisp golden hue with floral undertones.

4 oz. pour on tap at the St. Louis airport. Clear, pale bright yellow with light sparkle, small head with fair retention and no lacing. Aroma is strong pale malts with hint of floral. Taste is strong pale, Pilsner malts, light florals. Frothy, creamy texture, soft carbonation, finish as taste. Jasmine is muted. Pretty much a basic blonde.

Can, 0.355l. Aroma is grainy, floral and mild fruity with jasmine note. Pours cloudy pale golden color with large soapy white head, nice lacing and soft visible carbonation. Taste starts medium sweet grainy and floral, following is grassy and medicinal, mouthfeel is smooth but dry, while finish is pretty bitter. Medium body, oily texture and average carbonation in palate. I’d rather drink it without jasmine with Jasmine…

From City Brew Tours, date is not aligned so I can't read it.
It pours a clear pale gold with lots of bubble action, nice head of foam, good lacing.
The smell is hoppy with jasmine, cracker malt, somewhat sweet.
The taste is an interesting mix of jasmine, bready malt, lightly hoppy. Good balance here.
Good mouthfeel, something I would drink again.

Cloudy golden coloured body with a thinnish, fast-dying white head, about a centimetre tall. Aroma of pale malt, yeast, bread, grass and a touch of coriander seed and canned corn. Light-bodied; Strong yeast and wheatie flavours dominate the taste with a very nice sweetness of corn and caster sugar that also shows some fresh grain and citrus note as well. Aftertaste has a little bit of spicey character, but the yeast and coriander seed are the strongest, along with some subdued nutty flavours. Overall, a nice and very light beer that still has a lot of character and complexities, while remaining very light. Nice to sample and a good beer throughout that is a good one to have in inventory or just to sample! I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from The Perfect Pour in Elk Ridge, Maryland on 28-November-2016 for US$2,89 sampled at home in Washington on 23-January-2017.

12oz. Pilsner malt, nothing else....hmmm..Jasmise..oh, great. jasmine. Kind of a cheap tea feeling addition to a boring blonde ale. At least a straight up blonde ale would have been to a style. "My speed" is anything but this. Not impressive.
