Slacks (355), Bolton, Ontario, Canada Apr 29, 2006 Draught @ The Brewery: Chalk a higher score up to lower expectations. I wasn’t a fan of the blonde so I wasn’t expecting much from a lighter version of it. The head stuck around longer this time, with a very pale yellow colour on the pour. Flavour was more subtle, and thus to me, more enjoyable. A touch more sweetness, which offered more going on than the blonde. I feel the same way here as I do in the Corona vs Corona Light battle - go with the light, it offers less to be disappointed about. jbrus (4127), Delft, Netherlands Jul 25, 2002 Golden colour, white frothy head. Light. Not much taste but some malt sweetness. Still a little creamy palate. Sammy (3075), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Feb 5, 2005 . Fizzy initial pour. Their regular blond may be better, but the taste is OK for a 4% beer. Thin mouthfeel, some hops and a bit of malt. I would have this before a Molson or Labatt, but it is pretty plain. Thanks for the sample Pootz/Pootzboy. HogTownHarry (3200), Toronto (Harbourfront), Ontario, Canada Apr 22, 2006 Bottle (341ml). Poured bright pale slightly bubbly gold with a minimal white head. Not surprisingly, smells just like the "Natural Blonde" only lighter - corn, dry grain, a little harsh. Taste is probably nicer than the blonde - similar, sweeter, but less harsh - very watery mouthfeel, still has that unpleasant aftertaste - acceptable lawnmower/fishing trip beer only. jerc (3114), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Jul 14, 2003 Wasn't impressed with it at first, but it finished nicely. A mediocre beer, but an exceptional light beer
