Typical Blonde ale...highly drinkable, but forgettable at the same time.

look: 4.25 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4
Look - 4.25 - crystal clear pale yellow color with a white head. Head doesn't last too long but leaves plenty of lacing.
Smell - 4 - You can smell the california common ale yeast. (I emailed the brewery to confirm) very lager like in smell, some light malt coming through. A slight hoppy spice.
Taste - light toasty malt character, little to no bitterness from hops. Reminisce of a lighter oktoberfest beer. Plenty of malt flavor for 4.6%. Nice hints of citrus, orange peel, pineapple, grapefruit. (Mosiac hops at whirlpool and 60 min magnum addition are the only hops)
Feel - 4 - medium light body with medium carbonation. Little bubbles make for a foamy slightly creamy feel.
Overall - 4 - Great example of the style IMO. Comes in pint cans 4 pack. I would buy another any time.
