Marilyn Blonde Ale
Mispillion River Brewing

 

 

 

I had this at Baywood Greens county club after a round of golf.

Its was very refreshing and balanced
The mouthfeel and balance were world class IMHO
I asked the bar tender who made it and where and she said
Mispillion River "a local brewery" She wasnt sure what the name
of the beer was though
I never heard of this brewery so I contacted them thru FaceBook
and they replied right away. I have'nt had anything else from this
brewer but if they can make a blonde ale this good I will definitely
try them again. As of now I am trying to find out how I can get more
of this one. in NE Philly area.

From the brewer himself: Marilyn is 5.5% ABV Blonde Ale, brewed with clover honey and dry hopped with New Zealand Motueka hops.

This was a beautiful, transparent, golden ale poured into a weizen glass at a beer festival. It came with a soft, 2cm head that clung to the edge of the glass that laced well as the beer swirled.

Nose was sweet and hoppy, but subtle and refreshing.

Flavor was extremely refreshing, with no bitter or sour notes that sometimes accompany blonde ales. Supremely drinkable with a wonderful, dancing sweetness that was not overpowering. Some light lemon characteristics.

Overall: For a beer brewed with honey, this was not too sweet. It was well-refined, dry, and well-attenuated, leaving behind only pleasant aromas. The amount of sweetness was perfect and refreshing without ever being overbearing. The added hops are a great touch, adding depth without imparting bitterness or distracting fruit notes. This is a well-balanced, clean brew, more like a lemon square than a malty biscuit. This beer was endlessly enjoyable
