A tangy, grainy beer with a strong earthy finish. I'd say it grows on you but I'm not sure that's true.
Taste Rating in Words: It's like taking a piece of tangy gum, you found under a cafeteria table, at lunch and chewing it for the rest of the day.

L: Dark orange hue, minimal head or lacing
S: Acidic malty smell, relatively sweet
T: Balanced off-sweet, and tangy. Citric: orange and grapefruit bitterness comes through, but not overwhelmingly. Well balance; sweet, bitter, and malty.
F: Very light and easy drinking. Surprisingly light for a double blonde. Could use a little more body.
O: Very good double, quite drinkable and a solid beer for the price. Surprising high abv at 7.5%; is on par with a heavy session IPA in terms of abv and alc content. Would buy again.

From 07/29/13 notes. Had this on tap at Idle Hands in NYC. Served in a pint glass.
a - Pours a hazy medium orange color with one inch of bright white head and low carbonation evident.
s - Smells of bready malts, toasted malts, light fruity malts, earthy notes, wheat, and dough. Not bad, but not a ton going on. Fruit is nice though.
t - Tastes of bready malts, wheat, citrus hops, floral hops, toasted malts, and grains. Better than the nose thanks to the citrus and floral notes.
m - Medium body and low to moderate carbonation. Pretty easy to drink.
o - Overall a pretty solid blonde ale. Nose is a bit light but the taste is better with some nice hops to it. Easy to drink, would have it again.

11 ounce pour - $6.25 at Taco Mac in Woodstock, Georgia.
Appearance: Lightly hazed, golden body with a very thin, white head.
Smell: Somewhat deficient aroma, only smelling very lightly of grain, white bread sans crust, distant wildflower honey, and florals.
Taste: Light pale maltiness, a tad grainy, with a golden syrup/soft honeyed sweetness. Lightly floral hop quality with a minor spiciness. Relatively light bitterness. The sweetness soon fades for a mostly dry, smooth finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-plus body. Medium carbonation.
Overall: A bigger blonde without becoming so double-fied or imperialized that it's a cloying, gloopy mess.

Stopped by the brewery with the family to enjoy some local brew and beautiful weather. Few ounce sample in a plastic cup. Golden yellow, identical to the mosaic ipa in look, but smell is decidedly blonde with grain, almost pilsner like. Taste is soft. Really nice blonde. It is a style i usually don't care for but this one is pretty enjoyable. Would definitely have again.
