COAST RANGE CALIFORNIA BLONDE ALE January 1, 2009Beers A-Zblonde aleJohn Fortunato Mildly gold-hazed dry body retains off-putting rotten vegetal aroma thankfully displaced by bittersweet grapefruit-lemon tang and pleasant grassy hop fizz. Sadly, tinny metallic mouthfeel obstructs cracked corn-wheat base. Brewery defunct: 2009.
