I've brewed a blonde ale with 100% pale us 2-row. When bottling day came, the beer was crystal clear and very light colored. After two weeks at room temperature 72* it was nicely carbonated and very hazy from chill haze. I drank one at room temperature and it was as light as it was on bottling day and just as clear. The chilled ones were all hazy.
Anyway, it's about 2 months since they were bottled and I've been slowly making may way through them. They're slowly darkening and the chill haze is subsiding. They've gone from slightly darker than a BMC to the color of something like Fat Tire. The taste has improved as its aged. There are no off flavors I can detect. I'm not bothered by the color, but it's not something I've seen before.
