Not Your Average Blonde
Badass Backyard Brewing

not your average blonde indeed! this is quite unique as they go, more flavorful than most and with a little bit of a yeast element to it, but plenty drinkable too, probably the best of the three beers i had in here, but they were kind of all over the place in terms of overall quality. this isnt as simple as many, which i like. its just a little richer and fuller on the malt side than is common, maybe a little honey or something in here, faintly floral and a tad sweet on the palate, pleasant and fresh though, not heavy or sloppy, even though its a little dull in the glass, less than fully clear, it pops when i drink it. the hops are minimal in here, just a light citrus note to them, all on the finish, which is appropriate, but i get way more from the yeast than i normally do in the style, some mellow esters, more as it warms, almost a belgian vibe to it, perhaps fermented on the warm side, but it doesnt present itself as a flaw, instead it adds some depth and some interest, i think it works, and it strikes me as intentional. some orange character late, a hint of coriander even, dont think these things are in here, but their essences seem to be. tasty and intriguing blonde here, rightly named, robust enough for all four seasons.
