Boerne Blonde
Cibolo Creek Brewing Company

 

 

calling this a blonde ale is a stretch, or at least it sets up some misleading expectations, this is hazy and pretty orange colored, some sediment in it, not what i was expecting from the style, but a beer my gal and i enjoyed quite well last night. it has a citrus fruitiness to it, a fuller malt body, some starchiness, a floral aspect, and a yeast strain with really interesting flavor, estery, not the conventional profile for a blonde ale, thats for sure. orange peel, under ripe strawberry, light honey, and just a dash of hop bitterness. this would be heavy to me without such high carbonation, which kind of saves it for me in terms of texture. nowhere near as light as i would like in a blonde ale, but when i accept it as something else, unique to itself, then i like it more. good for the early fall, a little more substantial and with some unique flavors happening, fruity and interesting, even if it is a little amateurish. overall a fun glass of beer for a little something different, but dont come in expecting the standard blonde ale.
