An outstanding value for this quality blonde ale. Golden, with pleasant aroma and rich taste with minimal bitterness and feel. Drinkable and repeatable. A nice Wisconsin beer that will likely become more popular.

Smooth. Not much taste or aroma. First hit was of cheap beer. May be better on a summer day.

Pours a pretty golden blonde with a white head. Smells of sweeter grains with a very subtle touch of some floral hop smells. Taste is very malty and somewhat rich with biscuits and a caramel like sweetness with no apparent hop flavors, just enough to balance the sweetness a little bit. Feel is nothing special, but it does go down very easily. Overall not a standout by any means compared to other blonde ales but not one of lower quality. I liked this and would drink it again.

Scored at Aldi. Popping the top I get a black licorice waft from the vessel. Taste is a pleasantly chewy malty backboned friction filled but not abrasive and highly viscous sample. Notes of black licorice are present with some Belgian like candy. A very tasty brew. For the Low ABV and price point this rides with the big boys.
