This Blonde Ale (BJCP #18A) poured a nice light straw color very little carbonation. The aroma was lightly hopped and the no malt detected. The flavor was light, as expected for this style. Nice balance of light malt and light bitterness rounded out this beer which also had hints of honey. It was light, crisp and dry. The carbonation was on the low end and a little more would have added a little more depth and mouthfeel to the beer. A nice easy-drinking blonde ale for a hot day.
