Pours a very nice clean golden color (typically, it's less deep than I like in a pale ale, but it's described as a hoppy blonde ale, so the color works) with some very nice head and good lacing. Great aroma with clean malt scents and a wonderful grassy hop hit in the nose. Very nice taste, a clean and simple blonde ale with a wonderful earthy and grassy hop flavor at the end. It goes down wonderfully smooth, and is a very sessionable beer.

A- Golden straw with a 1" fluffy head.
S- Smells of grassy, citrusy hops. A little malt and not much poking through. Very earthy. Almost like fresh-cut grass.
T- Much like it smells. Very grassy, like someone mowed their lawn right into the glass. Light to moderate hop bitterness with a citric bite. A little malt to back it up.
M- Very light, thin and yet silky mouthfeel. Very carbonated, tonic-esque. Massages the tongue nicely.
D- So, so drinkable. I could mow lawns for an eternity and not drink too much of this. Although, I would get tired of the taste after 2 or 3.

Pale straw in color and cloudy. Not much head to speak of. A beer brewed for the "lite" crowd, light malt aroma/flavor, and lightly hopped (both in aroma and flavor). This beer finished on the dry and bitter side. A beer you could put a lot of away on a hot day.

This is a basic, well-done, conservative, consistently high-quality APA from the city's best brewpub. It's not a world-shaker, it's not something you'd drive from across the country to sample. It's not meant to be...BRBP has other beers for that.
This is a fine beer, that's good every time I have it. It's also a great beer for people that aren't into craft brews. If you take a macro-drinker to dinner at the BRBP, suggest this to them for a starter. No, it's nothing to write home about, but it is a solid, tasty brew.

From a sampler: This beer is a clear gold color with a thin white head. Very little lacing. The aroma is Lager-ish. Light-bodied and mildy hoppy throughout, but not much else going on flavor-wise other than hints of malt here and there. The finish is kind of docile as well. I understand why the name, as this is an unexciting but drinkable beer.
