Collab with the Fuse Media to brew this beer originally, then the Viking Army Supporters to create a light, semi-sweet tailgating beer. The result is a honey blonde ale, which starts off with honey derived sweetness and rounds out with a bready, malt finish.

Departed Soles Brewing Co. "Cantankerous Blonde"
on tap at the brewery 1 April 2016

Notes: 5.4% ABV honey blonde ale. Very hazy deep gold body beneath a short head of white. Limited retention, OK lacing. Grainy wheat with floral hops and honey in the aroma. Flavor follows. Moderate bitterness. Honey lingers gently in the mostly dry finish. Overall surprisingly good as it's got a decent bit of character to it and a nice balance.
