12 ounce can into pint glass, no can dating. Pours slightly hazy medium golden yellow color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and fluffy off white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of wheat, cracker, white bread dough, and lightly toasted biscuit; with lighter notes of honey, lemon, pear, red apple, herbal, floral, grass, pepper, and yeast earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with pale/wheat malts and light earthy hop/fruity yeast notes; with solid strength. Taste of big wheat, cracker, white bread dough, and lightly toasted biscuit; with lighter notes of honey, lemon, pear, red apple, herbal, floral, grass, pepper, and yeast earthiness. Light herbal, floral, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of wheat, cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, honey, lemon, pear, red apple, herbal, floral, grass, pepper, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Awesome robustness of pale/wheat malts and light earthy hop/fruity yeast flavors; with and nice malt/bitterness balance, and no cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Fairly crisp/clean finishing. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitterness and carbonation. Medium-plus carbonation and medium body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/bready/grainy, and lightly sticky mouthfeel that is fantastic. Zero warming alcohol for 5.5%. Overall this is an excellent American blonde ale! All around great robustness of pale/wheat malts and light earthy hop/fruity yeast flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink with the mildly bitter/drying finish. Very flavorful and not watery for the ABV. Very clean and rich pale/wheat malt showcase; with light fruity yeast and earthy hop balance. A really enjoyable offering, and impressive spot on style example.

From a can purchased at valley wine Steubenville. Nice price, less than $2. Yes, nice blonde golden ale pour with a slight metallic aroma. Is pleasantly sizzly. Slag aroma carries over to the taste. Yesserrie you know when it’s a true blonde, baby. May be a true blonde but leans toward the wheat ale category in taste. Fairly mild easy to take brew, hides its 5+ alky well. Was expecting some kind of hoppy pale ale but this is much better for my girlie lager lovin taste buds.

Sample at W.G. Grinders as part of Ohio Brew Week. Clear straw color with a thin white head that recedes steadily. Spotty lacing. Malt, grain and hops in the nose. Light-bodied with a bready malt character and notes of grassy hops and fruit. The finish is malty up front with a mild herbal hops aftertaste. Slightly above average overall.
