355ml bottle - golden ale, blonde ale, summer ale, what's the difference?
This beer pours a hazy, medium golden yellow colour, with three fingers of puffy, finely foamy, and creamy bone-white head, which leaves a low band of sudsy land bridge lace around the glass as it quickly dissipates.
It smells of gritty and grainy pale malt, some muddled berry fruitiness, further lemony citrus notes, a touch of biscuity white crackers, and very tame earthy, weedy, and dried hay-like hop bitters. The taste is bready and doughy pale malt, more crackery graininess, a touch of estery yeast, some still mixed and matched stone and citrusy fruitiness, and a consistently underwhelming leafy, weedy, and musty hoppiness.
The carbonation is adequate in its palate-coating frothiness, the body a so-so middleweight, and mostly smooth, as nothing seems wanton in its destructive tendencies here. It finishes off-dry, the bland malt and fading fruitiness the order of the lingering day.
Overall, this is certainly not among the worst of the style that I have experienced, as it falls more into the highly forgettable middle tier - no obvious brewing flaws, but nothing (i.e. hop-wise) to make me want to ever come back to it. Too bad, that.
