Brewed using 100% Maine-grown barley and wheat (malted by Blue Ox Malthouse) and 100% locally-grown hops (Four Star Farms, Northfield, MA.) Not just brewed locally, grown locally too. Balanced, bright, rounded and smooth. Exceptionally drinkable. Brewed in Milford, MA.

Brewery draught 1/28/23. Clear blonde, medium-sized, white head, moderate-to-low retention. Big fresh grain nose kind of gives off corn vibes, with mineral approaching light sulfur, fresh yeast (though not raw or doughy yeast). Very fruity with floral and fruity hops. Clean, no alcohol. Soft, malty, clean, dry, fruity and again with just tons of interesting grain character which I'd guess as corn if I didnt know. It's excellent and highly flavorful and the beer is refreshingly dry.

22 oz. bottle thanks to Chalumeaux! Bottled 4-25-16. The color is indeed blonde, thin bubbly head. Aroma is pale grain, floral hints and a strange old fruit hint.
The flavor has a strong showing of floral bitterness balanced by straw and light honey- like grains. Light body. Carbonation and mouthfeel is a tad soapy. Rather easy drink. Nothing off to report.

Poured from bottle dated 4/25/16 purchased from Hickey’s in Milford nice copper gold color with a one finger white head. Aromas of caramel malt grass and pine. Taste is slightly sweet caramel floral notes spice and a balanced hop bitterness in the finish. Not bad. --- Beer merged from original tick of Blonde Ale on 03 May 2016 at 21:09 - Score: 7
