Our Flagship Blonde Ale may be Good Natured but she doesn’t lack in substance! Light and biscuity yet bold & malty, her crisp finish will leave you thirsty for more.

Taster at FLoT. Extremely pale golden, white creamy head. Bready aroma with a hint of lemon. Taste is lighter than the aroma, crackers, lemon zest. Good start, taste couldn't keep up.

Pours a hazy golden yellow, minimal head formation, no lacing. Nose is cracked wheat, lemon, lemongrass. Taste is very mild - notes of raw dough off the bat, to a bit of creamed corn mid-palate, but it finishes on the dry side with some fruity cracked black pepper and dough. Mouthfeel is a moderate and a bit oily with small, prickly carbonation. Nothing too offensive here, but overall it looks, smells, and feels rather watered down.

Poured from a 12 oz. can. Has a golden color with a 1 inch head. Smell is mild, a bit of malts. Taste is green apples, some malts, a touch sour. Feels medium bodied in the mouth and overall is a mediocre beer, and not really what I expect from this style.

Pours a hazy orange-gold, with quickly-dissipating white head.
Aroma (from the glass) is bread dough with a slight bit of (estery) fruit & spice.
Aroma from the can leans more to freshly-made fruit salad, with a little bready yeast/malt. I can smell this from 8', as I take a photo for NBS. :)
Flavor is a mild, even mix of malt and fruit, very slightly sweet, with a touch of drying hop bitterness on the finish. This needs to warm a bit, to get much flavor.
Feel is a bit thin & watery at first, but that fades, and feels more oily & substantial as it warms.
After having other of Good Nature's (hoppy) offerings, I was disappointed, at first. As it warmed , the experience improved. Not great, but still good, especially in warm summer weather. I would recommend trying it.
Point of disclosure : I got this on a whim, at a grocery store, after continually passing at the last minute, at the bottle shop. I've gotten just-arrived beer there (grocery store), that turned out to be quite old/old-ish. No dating (C'mon, brewers!), so no telling. Will have again when I know to be fresh, & re-evaluate.

Brightly hoppy . light herbal, cracker and hop spice. taste is smooth but a touch sweet. finishes with lots of rbeaddy malt and a soft forward hop. soft biscuity malt. some fruitiness form hops. no caramel. Bitterness is balanced not harsh. Balance is toward the malt. This beer is just a little too sweet for me.
