From a 16 oz can with no date (yet quite fresh as it's local to me) that reads 4.5% ABV. Standard pour into an ale glass.
Pours medium gold color, not absolutely clear plus the can reads "unfiltered". Good carbonation. Has a slightly fluffy head that dissipates but a halo remains on the outer edge, has light lacing on the glass.
Breezy orange and floral notes lightly malted in the nose with a subtle Belgian approach for sure.
Taste might lean towards a West coast style as it has a centralized yeast bead and stays within the boundaries & parameters of being a lighter ale. Incredibly crushable! Not too firm of a hop bite, a nip of kiwi, orange popsicle, smooth with a creamy shadow, a foxy undercover sweetness, light grain malt action. Belgian yeast though not fizzy or uber active. Has a hint of mysterious orange citrus rind with a medium fast finish. Perhaps even a slight bit dry at the end.
Simple and enjoyable! Not much complexity to it and it's right there in the wheelhouse with session ales and is quite approachable for beer lovers that enjoy digging into an ale that isn't jam packed with hops. It's creamy feel along side it's late malt wave makes me want to have it with a slice of fruit. Just another day in paradise!

Can Notes: "A blonde beauty from the Northside of town, this ale is your everyday, all day, drinkable beer. Light. Flavorful. Refreshing. Enough said. Enjoy the CraftTM."

Poured from 750ml crowler into glass. No markings found for fill date.
Slightly cloudy, straw colored body. Persistent white cap. Ring of lacing left after each sip.
Grain malt aroma, with slight fruity esters.
Grain malt flavor, some sweeter fruit touch mid way (apple/pear), and very slight hop bitterness toward the end.
Medium, smooth body. Toward the dry end but refreshing.
Easy drinking blonde ale, average all around.

Had on tap at Hollywood Roadhouse. Kind of unassuming blonde ale that borders on Belgian pale but just lacks the spicy yeast character. I wished they would have let the yeast come through more. Not much aroma but I also do not detected any flaws.
