Gloria is our year-round Blonde Ale. Pouring this beer into a glass reveals a slightly hazy straw-yellow liquid topped with a thick white head. One of the first beers we ever brewed at Brix City, through the years the recipe has changed and improved but the essence of this beer has always remained the same: easy drinking but with flavor! Inspired by traditional Belgian Blonde Ales, we designed Gloria to be crisp and light in body with notes reminiscent of clementines, light honey, floral esters, and sweet spices.

On tap today at Mule Bar, Winooski, VT
Poured into a tulip.
Appearance is as seen in the picture.
Aroma: soft orangey pulpy sweetness with crushed coriander and lemony sweetness and then a touch of honey then a little bit of bubblegum
Flavor: combines the prior noted aromas to a refined sweet quality then a little bit of a snap of coriander spice but that's super light; finishes with a blend of bubblegum to orangey and lemony sweetness
Texture: light to medium bodied; good smoothness, pretty sessionable; nothing distracting; good carb level
Overall: works as a Belgian blonde ale I believe I could have again.

At the source: pours pale golden with a white head. Aroma is yeasty and lightly fruity and a little floral. Taste is sweet with a very mild hoppiness. Carbonation was very, very light. Easy enough to drink. Satisfactory aftertaste.
