DuClaw Bare Ass Blonde Ale
This handcrafted brew is our most popular beer. Could it be the mild hop character and smooth drinkability that brings people back? The light color and medium body? The name?

12 Fl. Oz. Bottle. Poured light golden small white head and minimal spotty lacing on the glass. Aroma of grain and some malts. Taste is slightly bitter, grainy, some sweetness from malts. Perfect every day beer, nothing special but definitely a easy to drink, crisp beer.
Draft: Poured a golden color ale with a medium size foamy head with OK retention. Aroma of clean cereal notes with light sweet notes. Taste is also a well balanced mix of clean cereal notes with light sweet undertones and a crisp dry finish. Body is about average for style with medium carbonation. This is not a style I usually enjoy but I thought the example here was well brewed with a very high drinkability level.
Not bad, but pretty weak in all areas. Aroma is nonexistent, as well as taste and palate. Its refreshing but could use more for being a craft beer. I would drink this if I was in a coors light mood. Then again, I'd just save the money and drink CL
This bare assed blonde was plopped into my big glass from a bottle. Nice pour at that. Mild lemony perfume. Is a little more bitter than I like my blondes to be. Still not over the hey-zues thing. Not impressed.
Slightly hazy medium yellow with a fleeting white head.
The aroma is grassy and sweet.
Light malt sweetness in the flavor, little/no hop flavor or aroma. Very light bitterness in the finish.
Appearance: clear light gold, short, quickly dissipating white head, no lacing. Aroma: yeasty, with notes of saltine cracker, light grass, hint of floral honey. Taste: as the aroma indicates, with yeast being a main flavor. Finish: lingering yeasty minerality. Notes: Completely average, albeit with a nice palate.
Taster at pub. Pale yellow/gold, whitish head and lacing. Mild malt aroma and flavor... Better than a macro lager... Ok
Tap at the brewery. Pours a transparent golden with clingy cream colored head. Aroma of bread and grasses. Taste is crisp malts.
Gden with rimming white head; aroma is grainy; Flava is grainy crisp and hoppy; feels crisp light some fizz; finishes dry bitter
Good everyday drink beer. Not too strong but not too week. Definitely something you should try.
12oz bottle, hazy golden pour, white head. A light tasting brew, clean and crisp. As my beer buddy cheap says "nothing rude". Drinkable, nothing special but it is a golden/blond ale. Overall a decent beer.
Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a hazy peach color with a medium sized creamy orange-white head that lingered and left a bit of lacing. The aroma was tangy and sweet citrus and bread dough. The flavor was bitter, tangy and somewhat tart with notes of cardboard, bread, dust, perfume and a hint of bubblegum. Medium length finish. Medium body. Meh.
On tap mild hop taste easy to drink.
Poured from a bottle. Hazy yellow color, medium white head. Yeast and grain aroma. Mild corn syrup flavor with a light boring finish.
Aroma of yeast, slightly golden colour, heavy carbonation. Taste of grain with a mildly bitter palate.
12oz bottle from Spirits Rt 166. Poured a rusty orange body with a smaller white foamy head. Aroma of grains, saturated corn flakes and green grapes. Body is the best thing about this beer, medium mouthfeel average carbonation. Flavor is lots if grains and grapes. Blah not very good.
Hazy dark golden body, thin off-white head, minimal lacing. All sweet grainy malts. Medium to light bodied, gentle carbonation, lingering sweetness in the finish. Simple.
Golden pour with a very slight haze. Rocky white head. Grainy aroma. Thin bodied and easy to drink. Flavor is yeasty with some light grain.
Sampler at Du Claw at Arundel Mills. Fruity malt aroma and flavor. A bit of malty sweetness. Strong malty aftertaste. Nice brew.
Drank from bottle. Not much to say about this beer, typical blonde ale decent corn and straw flavor. Nothing offensive about this beer. Smooth and refreshing medium bodied everyday drinking type of beer.
Light, ever so slightly hoppy, with a smooth malty base. Light caramel and nut flavors with an earthy hops bit as well.
12oz bottle from Manahawkin Spirits. Pours a hazy orange color with a small cap of white foam. Aroma of lager yeast, orange, lemon, and grain. Taste is muck the same. Bitter old citrus, grainy, and yeasty. Eh
Bottle. Nose is dusty pale malt straight up. Pours clear golden with orange highlights and a sudsy off-white head. Watery-thin body is sweet but dries out somewhat, show a little bit of alcohol, dusty with fruit and lemony citrus, very mild but nice green hops. Simple and forgettable, though clean, but anything that strives for candy/chlid credit like this deserves a demerit.
Bottle thanks to nimbleprop! Pours a hazy gold with a slight amber hue and a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma as notes of grass and light fruits with a bit of a sweet grain backbone. Flavor is more fruit forward with a touch of sweet citrus that grows and a light sweet grain backbone.
On tap, pours fizzy yellow. aroma is light straw and pale malts, taste is pale and light sweetness, nice for the style
2/13/2013. Sampled at the Brewpub at Arundel Mills. Golden color with a white head. Light malt, grain, and hay aromas. Light hops and fruity flavors. Not a lot going on.
Bottle into pint glass. Clear darker golden color with white head. Aroma of sweet pale malt, slight graininess and bread. Not much to it. Taste adds a little grass and a light hop note. Light body, ample carbonation, mild, crisp with minimal finish. Generally unexciting, simple but overall refreshing.
slight malt aroma. golden in color with decent head. taste is slightly malty.
Bottle. Golden with small head. Light body, mild malt and hops. Smooth and finishes a bit sweet. Aboverage.
Draft. Pours clear gold with a thin white head. Smells like malt and roasted corn. Light body and low/medium carbonation. Tastes like funky malt and bread.
