To-Go Cup: Coffee Blonde Ale
Exhibit 'A' Brewing Company

 

Canned 4/15/20, I like the Xs on the grains added (like a typical starbucks cup to check off items added)
Pours a med foamy frothy almost 1 finger head with med retention, a bit of soapy lacing, hazy blond color

Nose fair coffee but not a ton, fresh mild cold-brew coffee with a little nutty component, then sweet golden malts, a little golden ale malt, grainy malt, touch doughy and creamy wheaty

Taste brings coffee out front again, smooth light roasted cold-brewed coffee with a touch nutty note and maybe fruity as well, then mild grainy-sweet malts, a little bready and creamy wheat like, hint of herbal hops with very low bitterness, then hops kick in overtime on the finish with an almost med bitterness and mild herbal flavor, a bit more coffee lingering, not too dry either

Mouth is med bod, a little creamy soft, med foamy carb

Overall an interesting and smooth beer, I was worried that the coffee would overpower it, but I still get some decent blonde ale malt characters and a touch of hops, similarly I was worried the hops would clash with the coffee but they went well, so a well made beer for a combination I wouldn't have thought would work
