Hazy yellow, very thin white head after an aggressive pour and no retention. Sweet, light grassy aroma. Hoppy bitterness up front with a light linger that gets much stronger. Light body with light to moderate carbonation.

I guess what else do you expect from a brewery named Hop Valley? Flavorless save for hop bitterness. A boring beer with no off flavors just nothing to be enjoyed.

Appearance : Blonde colored body, slight haze, 60% opaque. Hilly lace on the sides of the glass after the 1 finger head recedes.

Smell : Pale malts, barley, wheat, some light spice and floral. Mostly clean aromas. Spot on for a Blonde - nothing more, nothing less.

Taste : Had to expect this being a NW beer. A bit too hoppy for my tastes, but the pine note subsides into a more traditional golden blonde ale with bread and yeast following. It ends on a slight marshmallow note and the finish is better than the beginning in my opinion.

Feel : Medium bodied, light creaminess, dry finish.

Overall : If it weren't for the pine at the beginning this beer would be a home run. I don't like the overhopping of the NW style beers, it's just too much. This is another example of the overhopping going on in this region.

First, crack open the can and enjoy a few gulps straight from the can. It's such a familiar feeling with its own pleasure, but it reminds me how drinking the stuff from a lovely glass is the way I enjoy it these days.

Rather crisp and carbonated, which gives this Blonde a little more drinkability. Also gives it some of the club soda taste. More bitterness than I usually expect with this style. Even reminds me of a watery Pilsener with a very light body. Rather grainy but not flabby.

12oz can from Brewer's Haven... Clear light straw golden with a surprisingly good white head. Grainy wheat... Citrus/floral/lesser grassy hops... The finish is a touch heavily leaning toward the malty side of things... Decent balance, but I want more hops from my blondes especially from the PNW.
