Dayblazer Easygoing Ale

12 ounce can into signature globe glass, canned on 12/2/2016. Pours slightly hazy.cloudy pale golden/straw color with a 1 finger dense and fluffy white head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Light spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of lemon, pear, cracker, corn, and biscuit; with lighter notes of honey, herbal, grass, pepper, and yeast earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with moderate pale malt and light earthy hop/fruity yeast notes; with solid strength. Flavors of lemon, pear, cracker, corn, and biscuit; with lighter notes of honey, herbal, grass, pepper, and yeast earthiness. Light herbal/spicy bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of cracker, corn, biscuit, light pepper, and herbal/yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Nice robustness and balance of moderate pale malt and light earthy hop/fruity yeast flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Light-moderate dryness. Medium carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, fairly crisp/creamy/grainy, and lightly sticky balanced mouthfeel that is nice. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4.8%. Overall this is a good blonde ale. All around good robustness and balance of moderate pale malt and light earthy hop/fruity yeast flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink. Nicely flavorful and not watery feeling, despite the lighter body. A nicely enjoyable offering.

Bigass 24 oz can. Pours mostly clear golden with a one finger bone-white head that falls after a minute into a ring and lace. Aroma is Smarties, floral, grain. Taste starts out lightly honey sweet before a medium bitterness sets in. Perfect creamy mouthfeel. More interesting than your run of the mill golden ale, for sure. I heard from a rep that this is supposed to compete with those giant cans of Corona and Pacifico at convenience stores. It’s nothing like those beers, so this is confusing to me. Not a bad beer, though, and very easy drinking.
