Our American blonde ale is a soft and delicate ale brewed with pilsner malt and jasmine flower. The addition of jasmine adds a floral and slightly fruity layer. Single speed pours a crisp golden hue with floral undertones.

Poured from a can into a pint glass. Pours light yellow orange with a small white head. Smells of sweet grain, slight fruit. Tastes of sweet grain with corn predominating. Beer is light bodied and easy drinking, good carbonation. Overall, a very good beer.

Single Speed pours a golden color with a smaller but long-lasting lacing head. The aroma is filled with jasmine. The flavor is sweet and grainy, with a herby jasmine note. Good feel. Overall, it's pretty okay. The flavor is a little off, but it's different and worth a try.

From City Brew Tours, date is not aligned so I can't read it.

It pours a clear pale gold with lots of bubble action, nice head of foam, good lacing.

The smell is hoppy with jasmine, cracker malt, somewhat sweet.

The taste is an interesting mix of jasmine, bready malt, lightly hoppy. Good balance here.

Good mouthfeel, something I would drink again.

Surprisingly tasty . . . . a lovely light ale with a relatively subtle aroma of jasmine. Definitely will add to the rotation!

Draft. Light gold. Light malt with an interesting floral quality from the jasmine, which I wouldn't have identified as such. Surprisingly shows up more in the flavor than aroma. It's got a slight citrus undertone. Bit of astringency. Seems slightly acidic.

Taste: refreshing, floral herbal notes, slight sweet, jasmine, soft mouthfeel. Same with the nose.. Golden hue, clear, tall white foam head, some rings of lace. Medium to med/light body. Went well with spicy jumbo.

Look: clear golden yellow with many tiny suspended particles. Not sure what they are. Foamy light head.

Smell: pineapple, grass, jasmine. The jasmine note is more aparrent as it warms

Taste: Tart and light with subtle creamy background notes of jasmine, more aparrent as it warms

Feel: bright, bubbly, fizzy, light

Overall: I drink this beer when I want a little floral fix that doesn't come from just hops. It's nice and easy to drink. Smooth yet bright flavor to contrast the zingy texture. The jasmine is really hardly detectable at first but unfolds as the beer warms up a bit. Nice clean aftertaste.
