Poor Man's Blonde Ale from BarrelHouse Brewing Company
11 years ago
6.1/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
Sample at Tehachapi Mountain Pub & Brewery. Pours a clear straw color with a thin white head that evaporates quickly to an outer ring. Spotty lacing. Aroma of grassy hops and malt. Light-bodied with a mild hoppy character and notes of biscuit malt and fruit. The finish is mildly bitter with a short hoppy aftertaste. Slightly above average overall.

Bottle from Brewery Creek, Vancouver
Hazy amber color with compact head. The aroma is a bit dusty; the flavor is mostly caramel, with a dry mouthfeel, and some grainy malts; strong hopping, but the hop qualities are not bright; grassy and resiny.
A good beer, but in 2014 something more is expected.

On tap. Pours an orange amber with light head. Aromas of citrus, pine and light malts. Flavors of pine and pineapple. Nice, but nothing very distinctive from many other IPAs.

Bomber from Liz. Pours translucent gold with a white head. Aroma of grass and fruit. Med body or nearly. There’s a bread backing for pear and grass. Not finding grape. Finishes towards dry, lightly bready, mildly bitter. Much more drinkable/tasty than oh so many blond ales.

Bomber from Imbibe Wine. Nose is vanilla, maple oatmeal, woody oak, and a hint of bourbon; no coffee or chocolate makes it very interesting. Black with brown edges and a medium, lightly lacing, cinnamon tan head. Flavor is lightly sweet, a hint of bitter, with lots of vanilla and a hint of smoky char.

Bottle thanks to Santa! Pours a clear gold with a touch of amber and a white head that lasts and laces. Aroma has notes of bread and biscuit with a touch of light fruit and a bit of grass. Flavor has more of a light grain note with a bit of light citrus, some grass and a touch of sweetness.

22 oz bottle capped and waxed from Imbibe Wine. Nose is citrus, caramel with notes of light pines and nuts. Clear amber with a medium beige head that laced lightly. Flavor is moderately bitter with a caramel nut background. Too bad it was at least partially barrel aged.

From bottle to glass. Citrus dominates with a moderate spice support. Pours a golden amber, is clear and supports a white head that remains long as a full collar and a dusting across the top. Taste of citrus, lemon and spice with a semi-dry finish. This is tasty.
