Enjoyed at the Clybourn location.
A: thin head on a cloudy blond body and nice lacing.
S: orange peel and sweet lemon custard with some pale malts and breads.
T: the flavor had mor of and orange peel and pineapple citrus flavor differing a little from the aroma. Breads and biscuit with a grainy base.
M: light body and moderate carbonation. Definitley drier than I like.
Overall: true to the style but I think this one would be more enjoyable if it wasnt as dry.

Served in a shaker pint glass at the Clybourn brewpub.
Gotta start out the drinking day somehow, so why not a GI Blonde, right? It pours a clear pale straw topped by a finger-and-a-half of white froth. The nose comprises light mandarin orange, lemon rind, and some light wheat. The taste brings in more of the same, along with a touch of tangerine. The body is fairly light, with a very light moderate carbonation and a slick, smooth, easygoing feel. Overall, a nice, mostly inoffensive bit o' summery goodness. Good start...
