Review: Damsel Blonde Ale

(I can't believe it has really been two weeks since my last post.  Time flies!)

Metolius Brewing Co.

Grade:  D+

Appearance: Pours a golden straw color with a receding white head and average lacing.

Smell: Light pilsner and wheat malt with grassy, floral hops.  Some bread and honey notes and a hint of lemon.

Taste: Light lemon tartness and a slight bready note from the pale malts.  Then transitions to herbal, grassy notes with moderate bitterness.  Finishes watery with pale malt and slight bitterness on the tongue.

Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied with moderate carbonation.  Light and crisp, then turns pretty much to water.

Drinkability: This light-bodied, barely there beer is easy to put down and quench your thirst.

Overall: A really boring and bland beer, even for a blonde ale.  It has no flavor or personality and is just plain dull.  On the bright side, it is a good thirst quencher.  I won't be buying a again.
