Nola Blonde

First drinking this beer, and to be ruttin honest it I got it due to the fact it’s from a Louisiana brewery. This blonde as the title states is from the Nola Brewing Company out of New Orleans. I have tried other brews from the company out of the taps in the Crescent City, to be honest was not ruttin impressed.  It was decent beer but not my favorite, so I wrote the company off. Which was a bad ruttin idea.

Nola beers can be found across the state of Louisiana, but mostly in the city it is brewed in. The blonde comes in bright golden can with a dark red title block on the front, and the same on the back with a description of the beer. All in all the can is damn fancy, and should be what you drink it from. If you put it in a glass though, it is a nice golden color and makes a decent head. It does not have a strong aroma, and this weakness expands into its taste. This beer is bland. It claims five types of malt and two things of hops on its can, but lack a strong flavor like that would imply. It has a mild wheat flavor, which does not last long. It does not really have an after taste. It does have an enjoyable bitter note that changes into sweet. 

All in all it is an okay brew. Not ruttin great, but not soddin bad. If someone wants to get a slightly more expensive brew for a local themed grilling party, this is a not bad choice. Same on trying some new from the tap in a bar. However, this is not an everyday beer, or regular drinking beer. It would be good for a first timer since its tamer, but again lacks true flavor.
