Baltimore Blonde
Guinness Open Gate Brewery & Barrel House

The beer was originally brewedin baltimoreandi really enjoyed it. They have since started brewing it in New York and i havent seen any recipe change but it taste awfull now. Leaves a bitter after taste thats not pleasant .

 

 

From the 16 oz can in a snifter. This surprising blonde pours a nice
clear blonde with a nice head of white foam that settles to a thick ring,
thin dusty layer, and sports some nice lacing. Nose of honey sweet malts,
citrus, light bread crust. Flavors are surprisingly nicely balanced with
orange zest, breaded malts, subtle herbal hops, and honey sweet malts
all nicely presented. Mouth feel is medium, smooth, medium light
tilting towards light carbonation, and a sweet lightly citrus laced finish.

Overall, a solid brew. Very nice.

Cheers

 

 

 

 

Out of 11.2 oz bottle into Guinness glass. Honey gold colour, slight head dissipated quickly. Slight smell of citrus. Crisp mouth feel. Not too carbonated. Lots of flavour and slight bitter aftertaste. Unusual and refreshing. Nice break from everyday lagers.

 

Given to me as a 11.2oz bottle from a friend. Poured into a pint glass.

L - Pours a clear blonde, with a sudsy three-finger pale-white head. Excellent lacing. Head dies down after ten seconds.
S - Honey. White bread crust. Slight earth. Honeysuckle. Clean.
T - Lemon peel, freshly-baked bread, and biscuit. Latakia tobacco, minus the smokiness. Fresh rain on morning grass. Well-balanced throughout, and a clean & dry finish.
F - Light in body, with plenty of carbonation. Clean. Fresh. Super drinkable.
O - Fantastic example of the style, if not above the bar. Worth a try. Will have again.

 

 

Faint bit of smoke upon opening the bottle. Clear golden pouring beer. Tons of carbonation rising in the glass. The carbonation produces a 1 finger white head. The head looks quite fluffy to me with small bubbles in it. Decent retention. Not much lacing on the glass.
The nose has a very malty, grain, biscuit aroma. There's a slight grassy aroma to this beer.
There's a floral flavor to this beer that kicks in right away. There's a great deal of malt in this beer that gives me a grainy flavor with some biscuit. Decent hop bill provides a hint of citrus to this beer
Crisp clean body. Very bubbly feeling from the carbonation.
Delicious and refreshing overall.

11.2oz bottle from Byerlys

Looks great, amber-orange and foam that sticks around. Smells very light and sweet, with some grassy hops intertwined. I like the taste of this one much more than expected, skunky finish but mostly easy drinking here. Nothing amazing, no hazy look or mind-blowing hops, but that works for me. I want more

12oz bottle into a pint glass.
L: Pours clear light caramel, well carb'd with steady large & small bubbles, a standard 1/2" white head that recedes to a skin & edge foam, light random lacing.
S: Lightly sweet fruits, apple, crackery bread, lemon grass, lightly floral, moderately malty.
T: Caramelized malts, light citrus, buttery, a hint of honey, yeast, sweet fruit, a rich malty center, cereal grains, a distant bitter linger of intense citrus zest.
F: Crisp, bright med to med-light bodied feel w a med-full center, a non-drying med-length finish that has a light linger.
O: A very good tasting & feeling beer with a fruity twist against sweet malting. Is the Harp recipe involved? A refreshing, EZ drinking and well designed offering from Guinness that is very good in its style.

Baltimore Blonde pours a clean gold color with a small, long-lasting fizzy head. The aroma is light and grainy. The flavor is a bright cereal with a tang to finish. Fizzier feel. Overall, not bad; the flavors are there, funey finish.
