Had on tap. Pours clear, gold in color with one inch head. Taste is English malt, grassy hops, and white sugar. Light bodied, slightly bitter, and moderate carbonation. Tasty and easy going. Great at Temple Bar.

Decanted from an 11.2 oz (330 ml) bottle into a conical pint; bottled on Nov 11, 2016, refrigerated since.
A: Pours a clear, dark golden-light copper color. Not really amber, as no hint of orange coloring. Half to three quarter inch head, modest retention and lacing.
S: Aromas largely of bread and caramel; very limited nose.
T: Flavor basically follows nose with bitterness coming on strong early and remaining throughout consumption. Not terribly refreshing for an American Blonde Ale.
M: Medium bodies with medium carbonation.
O: Glad to see the continued effort to expand into other styles, but less than impressed by the execution in this case. Unfortunately, does not manage to get it quite quite right. I would go back to the drawing board on this.
