Tangy, tart and spicy blood orange adjunct goes all the way for resilient hazy amber blond ale. Prominent blood orange blast receives lusty tangerine juicing, citron-perfumed English ale yeast misting, candied baby aspirin tartness and floral orange blossom wisps over delicate French-breaded crystal malting. Spritzy summertime fun.

KENT FALLS TRAPPED IN HABITUAL NOSTALGIA
On tap at Ambulance, soft-tongued ‘hoppy blonde ale’ brings floral-perfumed citrus pleasantries to musky herbal-tinged grain malting. Lemony grapefruit-juiced Cascade hop briskness and relegated pineapple-mango-peach tang battle astringently ‘grungy’ wet-grained vegetal murk with no clear winner.
DRY DOCK APRICOT BLONDE ALE
ALEMENTARY LE TIGRE!
HIJINX VERANO BLONDE ALE
SOUTHERN TIER 8 DAYS A WEEK BLONDE ALE
“Infinitely drinkable” moderation. Easygoing floral-daubed lemon zing gains mild straw-dried buttered corn salting and biscuit-honeyed pilsner malt breading. Too modest even for its light-bodied style.
FUNKY BUDDAH PINEAPPLE BEACH BLONDE ALE
Blandly laid-back tropical moderation fails to properly integrate tartly embittered pineapple juiciness to citric hop splotch and frail pale malt spine. Phenol lemon-spiced soapiness disrupts powdered pineapple-candied tartness abruptly, leaving its finish in nebulous territory. On tap at 3.14 Pi, juicy pineapple souring gained eye-squinting lemon lime tartness and wispy floral-spiced pilsner malting.

MOTHER EARTH BLACKBEARD’S BOOTY HOPPY BLONDE ALE
OURAY CAMP BIRD BLONDE ALE
ANGRY ERIK THE DAINTY VIKING PINK LEMONADE HERB
On tap at Mohawk House, unique herbal potion with dried flowers, light pink lemonade influence and fungi-like Belgian yeast funk is truly an acquired taste. Minty citrus zestiness disrupted by floral hibiscus, saffron and rosemary snips.
ARMADILLO HONEY PLEASE
On tap at Taverna Rossa, easygoing pale body utilizes bittersweet wildflower honey, subtle cinnamon-sugared mesquite beans and mild hop bitterness to engage lagered yeast. Blood orange tartness and oaken vanilla smidge backup.
