Crisply clean Outback Steakhouse-related easygoer brings spritzy lemon-fizzed prickle to grassy hop astringency, mildly floral honey-spicing and teensy green peppering over corn-dried pilsner malting. Perfectly centrist light-bodied suds with bold body stands up to hearty meat dishes.

EVIL GENIUS ICANTEVEN WATERMELON BLONDE ALE
On tap at Hoover’s Tavern, celery-watered watermelon rind earthiness counters watermelon bubblegum sweetness over soft white wheat base, leaving lemony grapefruit licks on the backend.
WILMINGTON BLONDE ALE
Crisply clean moderation plies mildly peached orange tang and sweet banana breading to subtle pale malt sugaring, leaving grassy hop astringency in the recess.
TWO TON WROUGHT GOLD BLOND ALE WITH BLOOD ORANGE
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.

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.
