Named after a close friend of TGB “Jay the Tailgate Guy,” Jay’s Blacktop Blonde is the ultimate homage. It is our way to say, we see you out there on the blacktop and we know you’re thirsty. This is why you deserve a 100% natural craft beer brewed with the same stuff cavemen used thousands of years ago. An American blonde ale that stays true to form. Bold use of magnum and cascade hops creates a soft subtle spice that set this easy drinker apart from the rest. Beautiful golden malts show you we’re not afraid to put something besides water down your gullet. So crack one of these beauties wherever you are, and in the immortal words of Jay the Tailgate Guy, “Grill on.”
First brewed at Skyscraper in California, moved in 2010 to Cold Spring, later on by the brewery itself.

Canned @ home, courtesy of mencansail.gracias! Pours a clear golden orange appearance with an off white head that dissipates pretty quickly. Corn, sweet toasted malty, lemon, a bit floral nose. Tangy, cookie malty, weird citrusy, creamy flavor. Not all that good.

Can from Total Wine in Sacramento, CA. Pours light amber/gold with a slight fizzy white head. Aroma is light bready with some mild citrus. Med minus body. Flavor is a bit sweet, mucky bready, and there’s not really enough hop to write about - unless there’s some floral. For me the finish is not bitter at all. A little herby maybe.

Crisp, slightly hazy golden coloured body with a very thin, one centimetre tall white head. Aroma of rice, corn, cardboard, citrus, a touch of yeast, wort and not much else. Light-bodied; Assertive corn and funky malt flavours show strong but some light citrus and grassy herbal notes come at the end. Aftertaste shows most of the funky malt and unfinished wort-like qualities with only a touch of sweetness and complexity. Overall, not such a great beer - but that was almost expected. Nice to have in a can, but the beer really isn’t worth drinking! I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Total Wine in Tustin, California on 06-December-2011 for US$1.49 sampled at home in Washington on 15-February-2012.
