Presentation: 12 oz. can with no dates. Served in a Weizen glass.
Appearance: The two finger head goes away pretty quickly leaving behind some patchy lacing. Despite the name, it's actually not that hazy. It's a pretty clear, bright gold color.
Smell: The sweet, honey scent is quite strong and it's the most dominant note. There's some grain and malt in the background as well.
Taste: It's mostly sweet with a hint of bitterness towards the end. The main flavors are of honey, caramel and cereal.
Mouthfeel: It's medium bodied with medium-high carbonation and a little bit cloying so it's not that refreshing.
Overall: A sweet and cereal-y beer that's stronger than expected in both body and flavor but still keeps thing approachable and easy to drink.

Crisp ale, nice honey tone but not overpowering. Nice malt tones match well with the honey.

1717th Review on BA
Draft to Pint
@Claim Jumpers Brea
App- When this came out, it was a bit darker than I was thinking. Along the lines of a pale or an IPA. Had a bit of a deeper yellow with a small 1/4" with a small little bit of cling.
Smell- When all is said and done this is still a blonde ale, A little bitter, a little soapy and a little earthy. Has that malty honey sweetness. I figured it was a FW beer so might smell a touch better.
Taste- Its was okay. Slightly earthy with a bit of a malty unbalanced grassy flavor. A bit of a honey like sweetness. Went well with the artichoke I paired it with.
Mouth- A fairly solid medium body with a good bit of sweetness that remained. A medium-low carbonation for the style. Residual honey and malts.
Drink- Meh. Another blonde ale. Better than average because from FW. Its no 805 though.

On tap at SLO Brewing Company in San Luis Obispo, CA.
Pours a clear orange with a foamy bone colored head that settles to a film on top of the beer. Small dots of lace form around the glass on the drink down. Smell is of malt, grain, grass, and some slight honey aromas. Taste is much the same with a mild bitterness on the palate with each sip. This beer has a good level of carbonation with a crisp mouthfeel. Overall, this is a pretty good beer that is drinkable and pretty refreshing.
