Here we go with Fireman's #4 Blonde Ale from the Real Ale Brewing company of Blanco, Texas.

Now Historically what we now call a Blonde ale is what the Germans and Eastern Europeans rejected in favor of Lagering, which produced Pilsners and Helles. Blonde Ales going into production is really a 20th century kind of kick thanks to the craft brewing industry.


Fireman's #4 delivers the goods in a Blonde. It is a pretty golden straw color and a little bit cloudy. It has a subtle nose reminiscent of hops and fresh grains.

This beer has a citrus lead in for a complex malt flavor that is just wonderful to sit and enjoy. The foam is a bit light and degrades quickly but I really can't think of much else negative to say about this brew.

Overall it's pretty darn tasty. A delight to the nose and the taste buds. The boys down at Real Ale Brewing make the Texas Hill Country proud.

If you see this in the cooler in your local beer store, grab a six pack and enjoy.
