California Blonde Ale
Had on tap @ Eel River. Way better than the bottle. A: Golden hue to it, with a small head, less than an inch. S: Clean smell, fairly hoppy, but nowhere near a pale. T: Taste was slightly hoppier than the amber, but once again, nothing close to a pale or IPA. Nice overall balance, with a slight shift away from malt, although the malt is not completely negelcted. M: Good mouthfeel, although not really anything special. Not heavy at all, and with only a slight lingering taste. D: Extremely drinkable, due to a lighter body, and a refershing balance between the hops and the malt. Definately a two or three pinter.
