First sip is tropical fruits and sweet nuttiness. There's a tartness to it all that still reminds me of the apple that I smelled. In fact, this has the feel of a beer version of a cider or something more than it reminds me of other blondes. I mean, it's definitely beer, but it has that kind of sweet and crisp taste that I associated with the many ciders I've tried. Maybe a full swig will find the true nature of the beer...
Tip-in is apple, banana, and caramel. It's sweet and tart at the same time, and then the middle comes with heightened carbonation burn. It brings a wine-like crispness and the banana and caramel kind of fade into a smoothness. The finish is a wave of tartness that mixes with the sweetness to trail off into a kind of floral mist fringed with caramelized bananas.
Bottom Line: Not the best blonde ever, but it brings something new to the table, and I can certainly appreciate that.
