US Pint, on tap in the Blind Donkey, Pasadena on 1st July 2024. Almost clear golden pour, slight hazy look, white head. I didn't get much honey but I did like the hops and light spiciness within it's flavours. A rare Montana rate for me!

Big 19.2 oz can from local grocery store. Pours a crystal clear gold color with a small white head and decent retention. Light lacing. As expected, aroma of bread and honey. Tastes like a lager with honey and only a hint of bread flavor in the finish. Very clean and smooth and easy drinking. Sweet, but not too sweet. Medium-light body. Semi-crisp mouthfeel. Not bitter. Maybe not a great blonde, but easily repeatable.

355ml can. Pours a clear pale yellow with a small, frothy, long lasting, off-white head that laces nicely. Mild aroma of caramel malt and honey. Sweet flavour of caramel malt and honey with a dry, mildly bitter grass finish. Light body with a watery texture and soft carbonation. Not bad, just boring.

What this beer is, is a honey beer. Nothing more, not much less. Two dimensional. Aroma and flavor are honey. Appearance is honey with some head. Ok body. Honey finish. End of story.

From a can it is a clear pale yellow with an off white. The aroma is malt and the taste is thin ginger ale and some citrus. The finish is malt

12 ounce bottle into pint glass, best before 9/3/2014. Pours slightly hazy bright golden color with a 1-2 finger dense white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Light spotty lacing clings down the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of lemon, orange zest, pear, wheat, cracker, biscuit, honey, coriander, herbal, grass, light pepper, and herbal/yeast earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance of pale malt, earthy hops, spice, and yeast ester notes; with good strength. Taste of lemon, orange zest, pear, wheat, cracker, biscuit, honey, coriander, herbal, grass, light pepper, and herbal/yeast earthiness. Slight earthy bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of lemon, orange, pear, wheat, cracker, biscuit, honey, coriander, herbal, grass, and herbal/yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice robustness and balance of pale malt, earthy hops, spice, and yeast ester flavors; with a goood malt/bitterness balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, crisp, and lightly creamy/bready mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is well hidden with no warming present after the finish as expected for 5%. Overall this is a very nice blonde ale style. All around good balance and robustness of pale malt, earthy hops, spice, and yeast ester flavors; and very smooth and crisp to drink. A very enjoyable offering.
