Light amber, bubbly cask head. A bit toasty, juicy on the palate. Lots of blackcurrant, and a fairly hearty bitterness. For an "American Blonde Ale" this is a pretty good bitter. Touch of phenol I didn’t pick up at first detracts somewhat

Cask at the brewery
Hazy golden color with generous head. The aroma is metallic, the mouthfeel is soft, the malt base is lightly grainy, the final is a bit metallic. Possibly some cheese, in the final.
Ok Pale Ale.

On tap at Main Street, pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma is nearly nonexistent, with a light biscuity malt character. Flavour is on the bitter side for a blonde ale, with dry biscuity malt base and bitter astringency on the finish. Unpleasantly bitter and otherwise unexciting. What's the point in brewing this? Useless.
