I'm very surprised that this is listed as an American Blonde Ale at Beer Advocate.  First off, it's not Blonde.  In fact I'm starting to wonder if the beer in the bottle, is the same as is listed on the label, as I saw reviews at Beer Advocate referencing it's 'Golden Color' however, I found that it was not 'Golden' or 'Yellow' but rather it was Copper in color.  Damn near the same color as Fat Tire.  The taste, I loved, and if it is an American Blonde Ale, it has more flavor than any American Blonde Ale I've ever had.  Not that it has IN YOUR FACE BIG FLAVOR, it's flavor is there, but subtle, making it an excellent session beer, in my opinion.  It had a delicious biscuity maltiness and a surprisingly full body.  (Hey, that's the exact same thing I said about Fat Tire.)  The hops were perfect in my opinion.  This beer was so smooth,... yummy maltiness and then a kiss of hops.  Damn, I want some more.
