Can to Snifter.

LOOK: Bright Gold color,mostly clear. Large frothy white head. Very Good retention.
AROMA: barley, grains, mineral,
TASTE: cereal grains, more mineral here. Light soapy taste late, but does not destroy.
FEEL: light body, but some creamy smooth texture that gives it a little more body.

Not bad. Not every flavor is pleasant coming out of this, but it is nice summer brew. Very good for the style.

Semi-clear to foggy golden orange with a puffy white foam settling to a thin film and thick collar leaving wavy coral lace.

This is a uniquely assertive blonde without going overboard. Brighter Light has an almost a Nelson-like hop character that's crackery and peppery. Super tingly and crisp carbonation helps bring up hints of melon, faint pinewood and light citrus with a solidly dry finish.

Very tasty, nice malt hop balance. Has a great smooth feel. Pours hazy amber with a thick white head. Not much aroma to speak of. Great feel and a really good brew.

A: Murky gold/yellow with rich white foamy head and sticking lacing.
N: Sweet notes, hops, oats, and some floral.
T: Chewy with some citrus, floral, and resin bite.
M: Piney bite with a medium mouthfeel. Flavors get more pronounced as it warms, can taste the oils from citrus more.
O: A nice ale, solid flavors with a nice bite. Refreshing on hot day.

Pours a foggy and hazy orange-ish straw color with a finger and a half of white foam. Transparency drops to an opaque level after the final couple ounces are poured into the glass. Head retention is good. Aroma is yeast, citrus, tropical fruit, tangerine, banana, and resin hops. Nice hoppy profile that doesn't just slam and assault the nose. Flavor profile is tangerine, papaya, and resin hops with banana, clove, and nutty, earthy malts and yeast behind. Hops lead and finish the profile, with yeast, resin and tropical fruits lingering a long while after each sip. Mouth feel is effervescent and lightly crisp, with a semi-silty texture. Overall, interesting mash-up of hops and malts. Hops still drive and lead the experience, but the malts and yeast are a little more apparent and forward than some other hoppy options. It retains a nice balance whilst still leaning heavily towards 'hoppy'.

Served in a 15.5oz Speigalau tulip from a 16oz can.

A blonde with a sneaky hop bite. The oat base gives this brew a bright golden color. With Amarillo in the kettle, plus a 4-dry hop profile, it's amazing the hops don't overwhelm. They don't. Another well-balanced Kane brew.

 

Pours a bright pale yellow color with one finger of white head. Lighting body and low to mod carb, super easy to drinkZ lots of citrus hops but no bitterness; very easy to drink. Very good for a hoppy blonde ale.
