This one intrigued me. I had tasted (and reviewed) every other beer on the menu at the airport Stone Brewery except for this one. Looking forward to it.

Poured a golden, clear color with two fingers of off-white, fizzy head. Good lacing on the sides of the glass. Good retention on the top all the way down. (Sight - 4.00)

Smelled honey, corn, butter, vomit, dish soap, sourdough bread and cereal. (Smell - 3.50)

Tasted better than the nose, getting honey, buttered sourdough bread, corn, grassy notes, unknown light hops and cereal. (Taste - 3.50)

Light body. Thin texture. Soft carbonation. Abrupt finish. (Feel - 3.50)

This was a decent blonde ale, but I was hoping or more. I probably would not have it again. (Overall - 3.50)

Meh. This was not really my thing. Blondes are not a style I normally drink much of, so it is hard to compare to others. It just seemed like a chore to drink the whole glass. It was solid, but the flavor profile was not my favorite.
