Look: So this beer looks like when your pee is super healthy! pale yellow, really clear, very little foam.
Smell: tobacco-like, hoppy, not very complex.
Taste: bitter, hops, again not very complex. (unless im wrong then yell at me at twitch.tv/teikach)
Feel: the feel is the best part! its smooth, crisp, very carbonated, and very enjoyable to drink. it single handedly made me want to keep drinking it!
Overall: probably better with food so take my review with a grain of salt. or a handful. pretty decent beer, but it just left me wanting for more. Like that guy that i met at the bar who asked for my number but didnt text me back after the second day of meeting him. FeelsBadMan

Its a smooth feeling beer, but as an ale I expect either a little more kick or a littlle more taste. Not bad though.

Mission Blonde Ale
(ABV: 5%) (IBU: 20)
This is an American interpretation of a Germanic ale from Köln, known as a Kölsch ale. Traditional German influences of Noble Hops and an authentic Kӧlsch yeast strain are used to brew this American adaptation. Kölsch ales are top-fermenting lagered beers, so these types of ales have specific lager-like characteristics.
AROMA - malty grain, grassy, apple and lemon fruitiness, honeysuckle sweetness, floral hoppiness, yeast, slights hints of corn
APPEARANCE – murky golden straw hue, heavy carbonation with micro-bubbles forming a sparkling white head, foamy streaks of lacing are left clinging to the sides of the glass, moderate head retention,
FLAVOR – sweet yet slightly sour, grainy along the lines of cracker-like, grassy (freshly cut grass), with a heap of big floral hop presence in the finish
MOUTHFEEL – soft grainy texture, easy drinking, dry finish, light-medium bodied, delicately refreshing
OVERALL – This ale seems to behave more along the lines of a lager which is obviously acceptable for a Kölsch. The perfect ale for lager fans; could even be considered a gateway beer from lagers to ales. A great example of a Kölsch and a fine refreshing brew for a hot afternoon.

Don't know if I got a bad batch, but it always poured super foamy. Even drinking straight from the bottle I'd only get mouthfuls of foam. This is even after waiting a few minutes.
