Aromas are grapefruit, lemon, resin and dry grain. Flavors are similar to nose and balanced though indistinctive. Drinkable but nothing special at all.

Aromas our cereal, citrus and hints of barnyard. Flavors are similar to and much better than nose. Citrus resolves into grapefruit hops. Hints of the barnyard are still there though. Hey - Wisconsin. Finish follows flavors and is slightly more sweet than bitter with soft carbonation.

Can from Tavour. Pours clear gold with a large but transient foamy white head. Aroma is hard to parse - it's not complicated - I just can't place the pieces. Seems somewhat citrusy. Med body. Fairly dry. Soft carbonation. Saaz bitterness, but not strong. Well, it is a blonde ale.
