Sampled on draft at D’s Monroeville this beer poured a dark golden color with a small white head that left great lacing. The aroma was sweet and tangy with faint golden fruits and table sugar. The flavor was tangy and sweet golden fruits, table sugar and had a faint nutty undertone. The finish was long and tangy with lingering sugar. Moderately full bodied. Overall it reminds me more of a maibock than anything else. Solid.

Location: 22 oz bottle from Buy Rite - Jersey City, 5/9/11

Aroma: The aroma is fairly faint, some grains/malts/yeast, with hay, grass, and a little fruit
Appearance: It pours a clear golden-orange color with a fizzy white head leaving no lace
Flavor: The taste is fairly light as well, mostly yeast and hay tastes with a light fruitiness
Palate: This one is very light, sticky, overly carbonated/tingly mouthfeel, and a slightly dry finsh
Overall Impression: I wasn’t particularly impressed with this one. It is fairly subtle in the flavor and aroma departments, and a little too carbonated for its own good, but there isn’t anything terrible about it, and it is fairly drinkable, so the score won’t be too low.

S5L3F4T5O15 MISSION CALIF BLONDE ALE: Pour is pale and a little cloudy. From a big bomber for $4! Decent, clean sweeter, aroma. Good sizzly CO2 on the first taste, lovely palate. Yep, friendly and civilized, nice attitude for a lager lover. Quite laid back and I enjoy that. Seems to be quite sessionable. Head stays rocky and the flavor remains quite enjoyable thru the session. After a while the CO2 subsides into a more flat beer yet the sizzle remains in the background. Aroma continues to be somewhat fruity and odd but in a nice way. Taste is mellow and easy to like, I’m starting to think this is a good session beer. Continues to be tasty and creamy even to the end. No real bitter finish but there is enough personality there to let you know its beer! Likeable with some very slight hints of lemon in the background but I would have not noticed it in a 12 oz sample. The label says 5% but it tastes much more like 4% to me.

Apple and green bean smell.. Hazy golden, thick head. Sour green apple flavor, finishes with more malt and a little corn. Far too sour for a kolsch or blonde. Drinkable.

Bottle - thanks Footbalm. Pours a hazy blonde with a minimal white head. Grassey and malty aroma is mild, with hints of lemon. Tastes rather malty, florals, grass, and bits of corn. Clean and crisp. Not a bad little session brew.
