BCB has the grainy
and malt-driven aroma that characterizes the bulk of North American
golden ales, although with the slightly sweet uptick lended by honey.
However, comparisons to generic macro beers cease as the flavour comes
into its own—the beer is mild, but contains multitudes, with citrus and
honey combining to provide a tea-like subtext that supplements grass and
grain. The finish is only marginally hoppy, and combined with its
sweetness, it doesn’t make for a crisp ale. However, mellowness grants a
high level of drinkability.
BCB is my third
trip to the Appalachian Mountain Brewery well. Not as good as
Spoaty-Oaty, but better than Long Leaf, I’d place this smooth and
drinkable blonde ale in between and I’d recommend giving it a try.
