Boulder Brewing Co. Sweaty Betty (Blonde Ale)


This is a beer about which I could not make up my mind. I had this at the Iron Post in Urbana, which has a relatively small selection, but features rotating special/seasonal beers at very good prices ($3.75). I tried this one on a whim, and I kept changing my mind about it. At first taste it reminded me of a Belgian white beer, with light wheat, citrus, and spice flavors, but occasionally I'd take a drink and get hit with a kind of sour, salty bitterness that reminded me of, well, sweat. It grew on me after awhile, and the good flavors outweighed the bad. I didn't hate it, but I don't think I'd order this again.
