 Thanks for checking out this episode of brutal battle beer break Just so you guys know off the bat a few things have changed about me I do have the us now and also my face might be a little red because I just got done working out What's better after working out than a after workout treat which would be a nice beer a cold beer So what we're doing today is a blonde ale and it's by Russian River Brewing and Russian Rivers out of Sonoma County. They just say Santa Rosa. Sorry Specifically five point one five percent alcohol by volume. It's just a brown or sorry blonde ale called redemption There it is corking cage So let's check it out. This is actually an older version as well. This is a 2014 So, let's see how it goes. There we go Or this All right So you guys can look at this wonderful thing All right, so as we see it's very a little bit of an oranges tinge, but very yellow It's very clear it has huge bubbles that are flying off the bottom and a nice white head to it Looks very nice very filtered Smells very blonde ale-ish a little bit of a Of a citrusy lemon aspect and that's more of like the actual fruit There's a very slight bitterness in there, but it's very very very slight There's a little bit of a hey note in there some honey Smells really clean very crisp and refreshing is how it smells mmm Get a lot of that honey. It's very biscuity as well. You get the hey you get the Lemony juice aspect, but it's not like super pronounced where it's actually tart It's just a little that citrus note actually just a slight bit of a tartness being imparted on it Bitterness is there, but it's very low. It's like a you know medium low bitterness. This is very crisp It's very refreshing perfect for after a workout I'm getting a little bit of an apple-y character in there as well as I keep going very nice This is very nice beer I'm here. I'm usually not big on these lighter styles, especially blonde ales But this is a very nice blonde ale and it's very easy to drink all the notes are there all the notes are hitting and I like it Russian River I'm sure barely anyone said anything bad about you ever so this is no exception great job You guys did a great job Everyone out there if there's anything you want to see me review on this or on the actual podcast Just send an email to brutal battle podcast or gmail.com makes some recommendations and we'll see what we can do Anyway, thanks for checking this out and go have yourself an awesome beer
