Fairly clear, light pink coloured ody with a faint just off-white head, only a centimetre or so tall. Aroma of pure lsswith a big note of some caramelised sugars and deeper more robust tart fruit and pectin notes that show a lot of raspberries and strawberries. Light ot perhaps the slightest amount of medium body with some light nuts, a dash of grass and a ton of fruit-based sugar notes with the fructose and effervesecent around the edges. Light-bodied; Very strong cherry and raspberry flavour at first that gives way to a bit more malt and especially the tart and grassy flavours that show through the inital flavours and the sweet and syrup based sugars dominate near the end with the raspberry bite and some herbal flavours coming through, especially at the end. Aftertaste shows more fruits and tartness that I haven't finished yet - the pace and speed are nice and the beer is super refreshing. I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Siciliano's in Gand Rapids ,Michigan on 13-June-2017 for US$2,09 sampled at home in Washington on 12-May-2019.

12 ounce can into pint glass; no can dating, but is a recent release. Pours moderately hazy/cloudy pinkish golden/orange color with a 1-2 finger foamy and fluffy off white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Light spotty lacing clings on the glass, with a light amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of lightly tart raspberries, fruit seeds, pear, apple, wheat, cracker, biscuit, herbal, light pepper, and yeast earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance of pale malt, raspberries, and light-moderate earthy hop notes; with solid strength. Taste of lightly tart raspberries, fruit seeds, pear, apple, wheat, cracker, biscuit, herbal, light pepper, and yeast earthiness. Light-moderate herbal/spicy hop bitterness and light fruit tartness on the finish. Lingering notes of lightly tart raspberries, fruit seeds, pear, apple, wheat, cracker, biscuit, herbal, pepper, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Nice robustness and balance of pale malt, raspberries, and light-moderate earthy hop flavors; with a nice malt/bitterness balance, and zero astringent flavors after the finish. Fairly clean finishing. Moderate increasing dryness from bitterness and carbonation. Medium-high carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately crisp, bready/grainy/sticky, and lightly acidic/tangy balanced mouthfeel that is nice. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5%. Overall this a nice fruited blonde ale. All around good robustness and balance of pale malt, raspberries, and light-moderate earthy hop flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink. Was hoping for way more fruit presence, but it hits the blonde ale style really well. Perfectly balanced and very flavorful for the ABV. A nicely enjoyable offering.
