FROM THE LABEL: "Family owned. Brewed with organice ingredients: water, organic malt, hops and yeast. Beer/Biere. Product of USA/Produit des E.-U."

 

American Blonde Ale

Description: More or less a creation from the craft-brewery movement, and also reminiscent of the German style Kölsch. Pale straw to deep gold for color. Usually an all malt brew, well attenuated with a lightly malty palate. Most have a subdued fruitiness. Hop character is of the noble variety, or similar, leaving a light to medium bitterness. A balanced beer, light bodied and sometimes lager like.

 

FROM THE MOUTH: AMERICAN BLONDE ALE: Beautiful pouring beer. Pretty average over all. Taste is malty upfront, maybe apricot or peach that slides quickly to a nice hop bitterness with a spicy pepper finish. Nothing very memorable as I  am not typically a fan of Blonde Ales, but this was refreshing and drinkable. B+
