Taster at brewery. Clear medium golden pour, small spotty head. Light grainy aroma and taste, unremarkable, but there. Average, as I'm finding for most of their product.

First had: on tap at their brewpub
It's a blonde ale. Poured a pale golden yellow with a small white head; minimal retention and lacing. Bready, grainy aroma, a bit of grassy hops. Taste is grainy, light bready malts, a touch of grassy hop bitterness. Not very flavorful, but that's no surprise for a blonde ale. Light mouthfeel, and definitely goes down smooth, but not quite agreeable to the more sophisticated palate. It's a blonde ale.

Had on-tap at CRBC in Portland, OR. Poured a dark straw yellow color with a white head that receded quickly, leaving sparse lacing towards the top of the glass. Had an aroma of crisp wheat and light malt sugar. Tasted of light malts, wheat and...not much else. Maybe a TINY touch of citrus. Pretty standard for a blonde ale.
Light bodied with moderate carbonation. Overall, a good beer to start the session with.
