12 ounce bottle into pint glass, best before 8/23/2019. Pours fairly crystal clear medium golden yellow color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Thick foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of big lemon, orange, honey, cracker, white bread dough, and toasted biscuit; with lighter notes of peach, pear, melon, red apple, herbal, floral, wood, grass, pepper, and yeast earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance of pale malts, honey, and light-moderate fruity yeast/earthy hop notes; with great strength. Taste of big lemon, orange, honey, cracker, white bread dough, and toasted biscuit; with lighter notes of peach, pear, melon, red apple, herbal, floral, wood, grass, pepper, and yeast earthiness. Light herbal, floral, woody, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of lemon, orange, honey, cracker, white bread dough, toasted biscuit, peach, pear, melon, red apple, herbal, floral, wood, grass, pepper, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Awesome robustness and balance of pale malts, honey, and light-moderate fruity yeast/earthy hop flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and no cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Fairly crisp/clean finishing. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/bready/grainy, and fairly sticky mouthfeel that is fantastic. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5%. Overall this is an outstanding blonde ale! All around awesome robustness and balance of pale malts, honey, and light-moderate fruity yeast/earthy hop flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink with the mellowly bitter/drying finish; great soft feel. Very flavorful and not watery for the ABV. Awesome balance between clean/nicely rich pale malts and citrus/floral honey complexity; with solid earthy Nugget hop presence/balance, and restrained fruity yeast. Mild residual sweetness with crisp dryness. A highly enjoyable offering, and top tier quality style example. One of the best standard American Blondes I've had in a long time.
