The Lonely Blonde wears a delicate fragrance of German noble hops, and slips a touch of white wheat between American pale and crystal malts for a smooth, sensuous body, fair complexion, and a pleasantly lacy white head. Crisp carbonation slinks the Lonely Blonde quickly away, and you’re left with nothing but a slight lingering sweetness as you contemplate how The Lonely Blonde can be so beautiful on so many levels.

Poured a transparent pale amber color with an aggressive nearly white head. Looks almost like a Lager.
Aroma, sorry, my sinuses are still out of whack.
The taste, along with the carbonation (feel spoiler) was reminiscent of a Pilsner. Has that biscuit and pepper combination that manages to work so well in those- but this is a pale ale. So according to that, it’s tasty but not particularly ale like. Still, it has enough bitterness to make it refreshing and the carbonation emphasizes that.
Curious and tasty, thanks James!

Good color, nice foam that tends to last. Good carbonation. Slightly citrusy and lemony taste. Kind of a funny aftertaste. I see this is a nice summer beer. Nothing particularly special about it, decent

12oz bottle into a cup and on tap at various joints around the twin cities.
L: Pours clear medium gold with a 1/4" white head with fair retention to edge foam, light carbo, light lacing.
S: Floral, bread, caramel malts.
T: Fruity, but not too sweet, bready, a hint of white grape, pine resin, citrus zest, apple, distant pear, lightly bitter overall and gently tart in the finish and linger.
F: Lightly brisk medium-light bodied with a long medium dry finish.
O: A very tasty and EZ drinking beer that is crisp, fruity and gently bitter. Nice smooth malts provide for a very good rating in its style.

12oz can. No dating found.
Clear, pale gold colored body. Firm, tiny bubble head, with lots of rising bubbles. Leaves some trails of lacing.
Aroma of wheat and corn, caramel, a touch of citrus lemon, and grassy hops. Reminds me of a scented dish soap.
Taste has the wheat sharpness and a followup of corn. Has a bit of bite from the hops. Sweet caramel and a touch of citrus.
Medium mouth feel. Very good carbonation.
Smooth drinking ale, with some attributes of a lager. Provides a pleasant and unobtrusive beer drinking experience. Much more flavor and better mouth feel than found with macro lagers.

Pours a nice light amber with cream colored head that quickly dissipates.
Slightly fruity, nutty, and bready.
Taste follows nose, nicely balanced. A solid beer, but nothing extraordinary.
