4/10
Way better than the last time, must have been skunked, but still lackluster flavor, not much citrus or anything really, slight hop.

12 ounce bottle. Copper, brown color. Small bubbly beige head. Sweet toasted malt nose has phenolic notes. Sweet fruity malt flavor has yeasty notes. Cocoa, nutty malt middle. Earthy yeastiness in finish, with alcohol warmth. Somewhat pale in comparison to the real Belgian examples. Good nonetheless.

I drink this a decent amount cause my wife likes the beer. So, when I am making a mix 6 and it’s available I throw it in. At this point, I’m rating it in a flight at the brewery. It’s a slightly too sweet and too clean American version, but neither too much. Lots of herbal and phenolic yeastiness counteracting it. It’s a bit much in draft but nice in a bottle that finally made it to a mix-a-six rack after a few months at a store.

Flight at brewery. I get it, must. Blonde though is a stretch, thy must have used red grape must, paradoxically, because it’s a milkshake thickness of pink/purple. Aroma is dominated by the cocoa nibs, light chocolate with a Nutella and cracker. Some light fruit grapes fighting through. Mouthfeel is thick with light carbonation trickling through. Flavor ends with a refreshing grape lightness but it’s preceeded by lots of cocoa nib and thick malt biscuit. It’s not really a quad, more like an adjunct beer and it’s not really blonde. I wish I could have tried and unadulterated version. But it’s not bad.

Flight at brewery. Slightly hazy caramel color. Aroma is sweet rotten fruits and apple juice with alcohol/spirit essence. Flavor kicks you with bourbon and fades into rotten apple. Just a mess all around and wasted in a 5 percent beer. At least make it big so I can get wasted.

Flight at brewery. A 4.9% and 50 ibu beer is a session? Rightttttt. A light haze to a dim gold beer. Aroma is malts fighting with hops. A good deal of my syrup and American hops battling for ground. Tea malts mix with bitter hops. No

Flight at brewery. Just so clear. A rather inoffensive beer here. Just solighy chewy malts with some herbal touches. Decenty lagered. Not sweet or husky. Flavor leaves a light and long bitterness. A dull but fine beer.

Flight at brewery. Just a little milky chocolate that overpowers any beer. Too much and Yoo-hoo like. Nope.

Flight at brewery. Clear dark gold macro color. Aroma is a very lemony and in green cut grass/hay. A little creamy cereal. Flavor has a little sweet cereal with very light earthy German hops. A light sweet and bitter finish. Decent stuff.

Flight at brewery. Clear macro gold color. Aroma is just full of stuff that shouldn’t be in a clean lager. Corny, sweet, fruits, and metallic lagering. Flavor is similar with husky malts and some bitter grass hops. No.
