Really, it's about as good as a blonde ale can get, especially for the beachy environment. Easily downed the sixer over the day, and wife even had another one at a lunch bar. Priced better than expected, for a craft beer at Tom Thumb!
Super clean malt and gently balanced and carbonated perfectly to be a crushing, highly enjoyable, neutral beer.
I'd buy this every time over a macro cornbot lager. Once again, many ipa/stout idjits on here don't understand what rating a beer to style mean, or accurately describing a beer. Blonde Ale, look it up morons. This is a great one for being exactly what it is supposed to be. And compared to an adjunk like Hamms it has much more going on. If you have the ability to discern them and use your own little mind.

Appearance: clear gold, thin white head short retention.

Aroma: light floral note. Crackery malt.

Flavor: mild spiciness. Cracker.

Mouth feel: light bodied. Crisp, clean short finish. Drying.

Overall: It clean, slightly sweet with a mild spicy hop note. No bitterness. Light and drinkable. Average blonde. Barely produced a head at pour which goes away fast.

I’m not an ale guy, so I tend to lean towards blondes when I drink them. This is one of my favorites, and is one of my wife’s favorites too. Not too hoppy, light,and easy to drink. I wish I could find it where we live now.

I probably shouldn't have followed a big hop bomb with this offering. It is an easy drinking beer with a lemony sweetness to it, very little hop profile and a nose that is mild to almost imperceptible. But I did pick up some hints of floral and grasses. It is a pretty good looking beer in the glass. A generous pour yields a fluffy two finger head and there is a ton of lacing. Honestly this beer is probably better drank on a warm summer afternoon than in early January.
