Pours a pale color with light head that sticks pretty well,the aroma lightly malty and a little fruity.Very easy drinking beer,nice and softly malty with an ever so slight hop presence.Actually liked it more that I thought I would,could drink alot of these with no problem.

Although I love most of the beers at the General, I have to shrug off the Germantown Blonde. I've never really enjoyed it in any of it's incarnations, and this is no exception. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not giving it a bad rating - it's OK. And I'm not down on lighter style beers, in fact, I don't feel this hits the mark. It's too full bodied and malty! I see it as being too flabby for what it should be, and not hoppy enough to take it anywhere else. However, I'd make an educated guess that this is their best seller. That said, the Blonde is an appropriate pale gold in color with a creamy white head that holds. The aroma is more malt than hops with only a light fermentation characteristic. The flavor follows suit with a full malt flavor, eventually revealing a balancing bitterness. An OK beer but anything else on tap should be better.

Pale gold in color, with a white head that hangs around pretty well. The aroma is a light, appetizing combination of malt & hoppiness - nothing "off."
Starts out with a pleasant, light malt flavor - simultaneously fruity and dry - and gains a balancing bitterness as it goes down. The final bitterness is akin to that of a decent Pils, but with the fruitiness expected from an ale yeast. Could drink this one all day in the summer.
