A really enjoyable light blonde with nice honey and biscuit undertones mixed with smooth malts. Cheers.

12oz can. Poured out a clear, golden color with a small, white head of foam. It left sudsy lacing on the glass. It smelled of caramel, crackers and bready malt. Sweet caramel taste with a malty backbone and mild bitterness.

A wonderful easy drinking blonde ale from a relatively small brewery. Great balance and drinkability, it's no wonder this beer is Bemidji Brewings flagship beer.

Had this German Blonde at Lobo’s Bar & Grill, Lake Itasca, Minnesota, on draft into pint mug.
Nicely made beer, with good balance. I think German Blonde means light on the malt and uses noble hops.

This beer pours a clear, light golden color. The head was white, frothy, and dissipated quickly.
The nose is somewhat sweet smelling, but not very strong.
The taste is very rich. It's got a sweet component. There's a slight bitterness from the hops, more so on the backside.
Feel is actually more full bodied than I'd expect for the style and ABV.
Overall, it is a delicious beer from this brewery. Easy drinking, but packed with flavor.

This is a tasty blonde ale. I'm no expert on malts but whatever is used adds a great bready, malty dimension. Medium to light bodied. This is a great summer beer to have and one that should appeal to both those looking for a quote "regular beer" as well as beer geeks like me looking for a tasty easy drinking offering for a BBQ
