Our Tastes-- Beach Bum Blonde Ale


We had enough of these last weekend to commemorate the end of summer, enough to float a john boat but not enough coordination to blog about it. Continuing with their 2nd year of microbrews A-B added this draught to the line up this year. A golden straw in color from the pale and caramel roasted barley malts. It has a clean refreshing taste from the Hallertau and Alsace hops (they come from France) much like the "Coneheads" probably from the German-loving Strisselspalt or Herbrucker family strand...enough French rant...I digress. Must be why this isn't my favorite beer out of the seasonal lineup! Still a good brew with the addition of Cascade and Pacific Northwest somewhere in the dryhop process. 5.4%abv, go have one;)
