Blonde Ale
Jeremiah Johnson Brewing Co.

12oz can pours that clear, familiar straw-gold with a giant cap of tightly-bubbled off-white head. Sweet and bready, clean and refreshing, with a light body.

 

 

 

a simple, clean, and well enough made blonde ale here, been while since i had anything from these guys, and this is a nice crusher for the hotter months, something like a four sip pint under ideal conditions. its nice and clear, has a little orange hue to it, not as light visually as some, and with a short white head from the tap. the aroma is light straw, noble hops, and the slightest bit of european or even specifically german character to the malt profile, a pinch of that european crystal type, giving it a little more depth than most of these have. i think they overshot it just a touch, but i wont be too critical, as the body stays nice and light and the finish approaches dry. i get some saaz type hops starting even before the end of this, with a light lime, grass, and herbal bitter profile, its a delightful way to help clean and crisp this up, the dosage is perfect, and the genuine noble hop character is very fresh. decent carbonation here, and a refreshing drink overall when its ice cold. they did a good job with this, a little more interesting than a lot of its peers, yet still might easy to drink.
