A: bright straw yellow with a 1 finger white head

S: sweet grains and some grass. Lemongrass and a sweet earthy citrus and bred crust

T: sweet grass and grains. Lemongrass and faint sweet lemon. Light malts and a crisp yet mellow herbal note

M: light with strong carbonation

O: a very enjoyable Blonde Ale. I think the low rating on here is because people don’t like the style

22 oz. bottle with no freshness date. Consumed on: 09/26/13.

A- Big, rocky, white head receded slowly leaving delicate lacing. Brilliant transparent gold body with a ton of small, fizzy carbonation throughout with a few bigger bubbles interspersed.

S- Clean, mellow grains. Some hay and lemon as well.

T- Really clean, light and refreshing. Very subtle, pale malt offers a bit of sweetness that effortlessly transitions into a very tame, citric hop bitterness. The hops are not very intense or flavorful, but they show up to offer a balancing note. The taste is a bit one dimensional.

M- Light bodied. Lots of sharp carbonation, and the finish is crisp and dry.

O- Not complex, but it isn't trying to be. This beer is trying to be an approachable everyman's beer, and it certainly accomplishes that. While it is listed as a blonde ale, I would believe it, if someone told me it was a pale lager. I imagine this would pair nicely with a number of lighter seafood dishes that are so popular on Martha's Vineyard, especially when lemon wedges are involved. I'm drinking this brew as the sun sets on an early autumn day as a last, desperate attempt to enjoy a fully retreated summer.
