Mission St. Blonde Ale did not knock my pins over

Coming home after the opening game of my bowling league in which I bowled TERRIBLY, David poured Mission St. Blonde Ale as soon as I walked in the door. The label says it's brewed in Paso Robles, but the brand is really an offshoot of Firestone brewing.

I love blondes (pun quite intended) so when I saw it at Trader Joes I asked for her number and asked her out. But then I never called her back.

David has a boner for his new Double Dutch Oven.

I usually attempt to judge each beer on it's own and not compare it to another beer/style, but that's just the case sometimes. Accordingly, this beer doesn't remind me of a blonde. It's unusually bitter and has lots of malts. But it's not very complex. Tired from a craptastic night of rolling, this blonde didn't entertain me well. THE ISLAND rating.
