Afterglow Golden Ale
San Juan Island Brewing Co.

 

 

 

16oz can (canned on 7/9/19) poured into 14oz teku. Poured a clean, clear dark yellow color with 1/4 inch of white head that had moderate retention and very light lacing.

The aroma was mostly grainy malts with earthy, floral hops.

Same on the tongue, malt and grain at the front, gentle hops at the back.

The body was medium-light, fairly typical for the style.

Drinkability was fine, i could knock a few back while on the water.

Overall, a pretty average take on the style, but still an enjoyable brew. Worth it if you're looking for nice, easy-drinker for the summer.

Clear yellow brew with plenty of foam in the Wander snifter. Light and a little tangy to offset the usual Blonde resiny flab. Some grain and corn taste with just a hint of something hoppy like a Kölsch. Pleasant sudsy mouthfeel with a little malty sweetness and that wee hint of a bitter finish. Very friendly and a credit to its category.

This is a watery, lightweight brew that managers to have just enough taste for a big gulp to do the job. From the 16 oz can that is a few months old, so I give it credit for being well-made enough to last.
