Cloudy, pale gold in hue with some peachy-yellow influences; it was served with a small white head, no more then a ½ finger tall. The bubbles quickly faded to a soapy cap. There was no subsequent lacing. From top to bottom the appearance was completely middling, not one aspect was noteworthy. Ho-hum.
The best way to describe the nose is, well, it smells grainy and coarse like a day old beer. You know that smell, the next morning after a raging Frat party you have to clean up the half drunken plastic cups of Old Mud. Yep, that is what this beer smells like. Honestly, it doesnt smell bad. Maybe it is connecting to some nostalgic memory. Added to the bouquet is an agreeable kiss of lemon. Clean, almost lager-like. I cant believe this is an ale based on what I smell. Low potency, all things considering I found the nose agreeable but not inviting.
The palate is clean and refreshing, light toasty grainy maltiness, almost Pils-like. Plus there is some dull, flowery hop notes along with a lemon infusion, very nice; minimal bitterness. It is simple but flavorsome, as it should be. The aftertaste is sweet, a bit grainy, kind of like day old gram crackers. This would make a good summer quaff; low alcohol content too. It would be very sessionable at a picnic or after some light yard work. Why JC brew this and released it in the winter, I dont know. Overall, the flavor profile is decent I still dont think this is a Blonde Ale but Ill play along.
Like all JC beers this one is light in the mouth. However, being medium-light in body and a session beer isnt a bad thing; low carbonation, with a trace watery sensation but its not too distracting. IMO, this is the first successful mouthfeel of any JC beer. Success by default? Like Home said, ah, de fault, the two sweetest words in the English language."
Sure this ale is plenty drinkable but Im not wowed by it. It is fine for what it is. One glass was enough; maybe JC should consider adding this to the summer lineup of beers. A growler on the beach would hit the spot. Overall, it is a so-so offering. Sampled on location.
