Brewed with American Pale and Vienna malt that combine to give this ale its distinctive smooth, creamy body. Just enough hops are added to this rich, golden colored ale to perfectly balance its bready finish. Fermented at a cool temperature to give a clean finish.

Hd this twice, at the Great Arkansas Beer Festival and at Flying Saucer San An. Both times it was light, easy to drink, hay, straw, light citrus. Middle of the road.

Can. A- Citrus, wheat. A- Yellow color, clear liquid, white head. T- Wheat, yeasty, cereal, slightly sweet, alcohol. P- Light body, average texture, average carbonation, crisp finish. O- Pretty standard and not a lot happening. The hints of citrus were nice, but this was just not all that exciting. A decent hot weather beer, but aside from that I wouldn’t seek this out by any means. Especially for the price. Average.

Slightly hazy golden coloured body with a nice frothy two centimetre tall white head. Aroma of pale malt, light alcohol, the slightest bit of sugars and a very mild, low alpha acid hop scent. Light-bodied; Strong malt flavour with a bit of caramel and sweetness coming through and only a mild hop bitterness and a mellow wheat taste. Aftertaste shows a pungent malt flavour and a very light finish with some light fruit and sugars and no bitterness at all. Overall, a nice lighter styled beer with a decent profile, but no real complexity or depth. I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Corner Store (Bait & Tackle) in West Palm Beach, Florida on 30-December-2013 sampled in my hotel room on New Years Day, 01-January-2014.

Tap at the Hey Merchant, Houston, 21/05/13. Hazed golden with a good sized off white head that soon reduces in size. Nose is pale malts, grass, light citrus, touch of fart, rather bland. Taste comprises cereals, citrus, pale malts, grass, light sugars. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, light bitterness in the finish. Underwhelming stuff.

This beer is a cloudy yellow-orange color with a medium foamy white head that recedes steadily. Short strings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of grainy malt and a bit of hops. Light-bodied with a fruity character that has flavors of citrus, grain and mild grassy hops. The finish is short and malty. Pretty average overall.

Received in trade from TexIndy, Thanks for the opportunity. Pours a cloudy pale golden color with a monstrous creamy white head that shows much resilience. Fruity bready aromas waft in front of my nose with some bitter citrus as a supporting player. Taste is creamy rich and malty with lots of fruit citrus and honey. Rich creamy velvety mouthfeel, medium level of carbonation, light to medium body. I am very impressed with this one. Very light and flavorful. I could see downing many of these if I still lived in Houston.

Herb-fruchtiger Antrunk mit Apfelnuancen und passender Hefigkeit. Im Mittelteil wird die Herbe intensiver, die Fruchtigkeit fährt im Gegensatz stark zurück und es entsteht eine Lücke, die Platz für die Wässrigkeit lässt. Anschließend wird das Bier deutlich bitter, zudem zeigen sich dunkle Malznoten, Toffee. Würzig bitteres Finish. 6/9/8/9/6/9

Bombshell Blonde starts out refreshing, but loses steam as it warms, gradually becoming a decent summer beer with a too-sweet finish. The malts are nice and nutty with a caramel undertone, yet the sweetness settles and stays too long. The mildly bitter finish cleans things up a bit, but this beer remains an incredibly malt-heavy blonde ale. The colder you drink this brew, the better.
