Our Bonito blonde ale is inspired by our perma-sunny days. This brew draws you in with its golden color and soft malt character, while the light mouthfeel and dry finish keeps you coming back. And what would set a San Diego blonde apart? A subtle hint of hops, naturally.

On draft. Pours a crystal yellow amber, medium white head that dissipates quickly. Thin aroma of pine and biscuits, bready grassy notes. Taste is thin, refreshing pine and bready flavours. Quick finish.

Bottle. Almost clear in the glass, golden in colour and with a small white head. Weak, lightly malty aroma with a pleasant fruityness and some grass. It's medium bodied and soft on the palate, with a light bitterness. Quite dry, with some pale malts in the back of the flavor, along with grass and fruityness. Medium length finish. Nothing special going on here, but it's a clean and easy drinkable one. 180706

Aroma sitrus, malt, humle. Utseende klar gylden med hvitt skum. Smak sitrus, eple, malt, humle. En annerledes blond som minne mer om blanding av pils og pale ale. Lett bitter og fruktig. Flaske kjøpt på Extra Setermoen, 33cl 4,5%

Can pour into nonic pint glass from The City, Plaistow NH. Appearance is lightly hazy pale yellow with greenish tinge, nice sparkle, finger width white, foamy head with fair retention and no lacing. Aroma is light cracker, yeast, hint of citrus. Taste is mild cracker malt, tart yeastiness. Palate is medium bodied with slick, frothy texture, average-to-lively carbonation, very dry finish. Overall, consistent with the style. Subtle aroma and flavor. Nothing special.

12oz bottle pours with a crystal clear pure gold body that supports a dirty white head of foam. The aroma offers up spicy and floral hops with a mild fruity note mingling with some biscuit like malts. The taste delivers hop forward, for the style, bitter spicy to floral to tangelo peel and pink grapefruit. Toward the finish there's only a mild sweet maltiness that has a biscuit malt edge to it as well.as a faint cracker malt sensation into the after taste. As it warms a bit I get an herbal to almost mint hop bitterness. Pretty nice as this one steers clear of the sweetness trap just about all in this style fall into. I'll do this again.
