Served this blonde ale on tap at the brewery in a pint glass. Clear golden color produced a thin white head average retention and left a decent amount of lacing on the glass. Aroma consisted of sweet malted grain no hops to speak of. Light in body this ale is crisp and refreshing. Decent summer or starter beer intro craft beer . Overall not very complex no hop flavor. Not something I would seek out again .

I enjoyed 4 pints of this product at Lewis and Clark's before during and after dinner.
Appearance: Lighter gold. You could see through it. Very little head as the bartender tends to fill the glass that way. The head that was there did leave some light lacing all the way down the glass. Very little visible carbonation.
Smell: Not a lot of aroma. What was detectable was light and somewhat fruity or floral.
Taste: Light and again fruity. A little citrus was what I was tasting.
Mouthfeel: Good carbonation on the tongue. Light, fresh and crisp. The hops were there but not overwhelming. The finish was semi-dry and the hops lingered a little after passing through.
Overall: Not a bad beer at all. I have grown to like beers with a bit more character so as a whole this is a bit average to me. If you are just getting into micro brews this is a good one to start with.

Enjoyed on-tap @ Trailhead Brewing Company in St. Charles, MO for $3.50. Tapped from the Yellow Tap Handle w/ Trailblazer Blonde on it into a 16oz Pint Glass.
Aroma- Has a sweet, malty aroma that starts off this "lager" like brew. Can't find any hops or any other characters but average for a Blonde Ale.
Appearance- Received with less than a .5 finger head and immediately disappears. Has a light yellow, almost golden colored body that has good clarity. Leaves no lacing behind.
Flavor- The flavor starts soft characteristics especially in the malt/wheat department. Very easy going with a sweet, semi-dry finish.
Mouthfeel- Light Bodied, Medium-High Carbonation, Smooth, and has nothing that gets in the way of the drinkability.
Overall Impression- For a blonde ale, average but very smooth and enjoyable! Wouldn't mind ordering one of these again with a meal or appetizer. Go for this one if you want a starter brew.
