American Blond
Saint J Brewery

On tap, shaker pint, pours copper-tinted gold and clear with a nice just off-white close bubbled foamy head. Head is slow to settle and creates a few floating islands and thin collar.

Aroma is sweet malt, hint of biscuit. Overall light aroma.

Flavor is clean and crisp, a tiny hint of caramel flavor in the underlying sweetness. A bit of biscuit, dough and toastiness in the background malt flavors.

Moderate carbonation and easy to drink lighter body.

Sweet but not too sweet, clean brew, I enjoyed much more than I expected. A good change of pace from the onslaught of New England IPA's typically produced in my neck of the woods.

The appearance was a burnt yellow almost golden/maybe bronzed sort of color with a nice lasting finger’s worth of white foamy head. Dissipates mildly. Spotty lacing. The aroma starts nice and sweet ruddy dried fruits (slight banana, mango, pineapple). Light bubblegum is there. The flavor leads mainly sweet with the touch of the fruits to the bubblegum-ish malts balancing. On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a great sessionability to it. Carbonation leads light enough, feels good for the most part. Overall, really nice blonde ale.
