This is also known as the Bighorn Blonde. It was served in a tall pilsner, the beer is a hazy darkish gold with a 2" off-white head.
The nose is of subdued fresh milled grains, subtle citrus and grasses.
The taste is fresh and light. Slightly sweet malts balanced by a bit of tangy hops. The hops remind me a bit of citrus rind. There is some fruity apple taste in the background. Becomes slightly more bitter late.
The mouth is solid with active carbonation. This is what a blonde should be, approachable as a cross over beer but still a bit interesting for more advanced drinkers. Easy to pair with anything that is not too spicy. Went great with my steamed clams.

This one is on tap served in a frosted 22 oz tumbler.
Pours a pale gold color and is clear. Thin white head is not very resilient and produces minimal lacing.
The smell is faintly sweet, with floral and fruity aromas.
The taste is sweet with citrus flavors, lemon and grapefruit. There is a malty presence and a bit of a honey flavor as well. The flavors are complex and well balanced. There is a mildly bitter aftertaste.
The mouth feel is light smooth and crisp. The beer is moderately carbonated, not filling.
This is a very pleasing and drinkable beer. It would be particularly good on a hot day. I would certainly have another Washington Blonde or two when the opportunity presents.
