Aud Blonde may be the lightest colored beer we have ever brewed at Russian River Brewing Company, but don't be fooled into thinking that this beer is light in flavor. Aud Blonde has a refined characteristic, which can be contributed to us blending pilsner malt with a unique hop called crystal. The distinctive characteristic of the crystal hop lends a citrus, almost eucalyptus quality in the aroma and mouth feel of the brew, while leaving the beer with a long dry finish.

Growler shared by beastiefan2k - very light colored beer, with a soapy, lasting head - fairly grainy and grassy aroma, with almost peppery hops, apparent pils malt, and a slightly belgianish yeast character - none of that character in the flavor, though - just clean yet bready pale malts and pleasant grassy bitterness - dries out and gets a bit chalky in the finish, leaving the tongue anxious for more - nice beer.

On tap at the Brewpub. Clear ligt yellow with a fine creamy white head. Light pale malt aroma a litte papery. Flavor is a soft wheaty light malt with a bit more bitterness at the end than I expected. Light and tasty.

tap at the brewpub - I find it interesting that this one is rating as high as it is so far. The commercial description sounds good, but to me it tasted like a fairly typical blonde ale. That is to say it was a light flavor and while not as ridiculously thin as some beers, it was still watery. The aroma, flavor, and finish are all light. It’s not bad, but there’s not much to really say.
