Starts out slightly citrusy with hints of orange and lemon followed by a subtle hop bitterness balanced with a malty sweetness.

Reviewed from notes.
This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance was a hazy burnt yellow color with a slight transparency about it to allow a light carbonation seen rising. The head was a finger’s worth of white foaminess that dissipated within about thirty seconds. There was some light lacing sliding into the beer.
The smell had some citrusy sweet to tart flavors of orange and lemon. In the background, light honey came to balance.
The taste was mainly sweet but had a decent tart lemon also letting in a decent bitterness.
On the palate, this one sat about a light on the body with a fairly decent sessionability about it. The carbonation was somewhat sharp but not too much.
Overall, decent blonde ale that I might not go out of my way to have again but probably wouldn’t deny one either.

12oz bottle poured into a shaker. Pours a clear, dark gold with minimal head. Aroma of lakewater and light citrus...hmmm. taste is light sweet. Sugarwater, dank wheat and a little citrus. Medium bodied with a slightly sticky texture. Lively carbonation but not much of a finish. Overall meh. Doesn’t taste like any blondes ive had before.

12 oz bottle from the spring variety pack. Pours filtered golden with a collapsing white head. Aroma is citrusy (rind, definitely), wheaty. Taste is lightly sweet and finishes a little bitter. The citrus is dialed back, making this taste mostly like any run of the mill bland blonde ale. Highly carbonated, thin body, creamy mouthfeel, watery. Pretty dull, but no offnotes.
