A - Bright clear yellow with just a 1/4 of head that sounds like it will fizz out quickly but makes quite a hefty lace ring.
S - Well it does smell clean and hoppy which is exceptional for a blonde ale. Mild grains and sweeter malts balance.
T - Mild lemon bite and an almost carbonated water like hop flavor so muted its not as great.
M - Bubbly easy drinking and crisp summer ale.
Overall most blonde ales are pretty similar. Light, muted flavors, and somewhat sweet so to style it's really quite good.

Nice golden blonde appearance, solid head makes for nice retention and lace. Aroma was delicious, nothing getting in the way of the citra hop here. Pungent especially for a summer brew.
The hop flavor is sturdy and the bitterness is low, super light malt base, truly a summer brew with taste. Awesome session beer they really should bring back. Or is it still around and I haven't seen it for a few years? Light toast and citra hops, sounds like summer for me.
