Beer God’s Notes
Original Tasting Notes: I’m not normally a fan of summer or “easy going” ales since they lack a lot of flavors, but this was actually an easy drinking summer beer. I could see myself having one of these after mowing the yard.
I can tell that my tastes are changing a bit because I bet a year ago I wouldn’t have liked this beer at all. But this summer, especially being hot out I’ve been looking for more beers like this one and I think I found my new king of the summer beer.
Dayblazer was just a ridiculously easy drinking golden ale that had enough flavor to feel like I was still drinking a beer but wasn’t overly heavy. I will be picking this beer up for golfing and for after yard work.
Description
A deliciously refreshing golden ale, at 4.8% ABV, brewed with the finest malts and hops giving a sweet, crisp citrus finish with just a hint of honey. Available in 12-oz. and 24-oz. cans.
Tasting Notes:
Visual: Blond color with uniform medium haze. White foam and light lacing.
Aroma: Low overall aroma built on malt in the form of corn chips, cereal, vanilla, and honey; balanced with some flinty sulfitic, isoamyl acetate, and herbal grassy hop aroma.
Flavor: Light initial sweetness followed by a subtle hop bitterness; neither overpower.
Mouthfeel: Light body.
Body: Effervescent, with a clean fast finish.
