Clear, yellow gold. Small bubbly white head. Faint hops off there in the distance, and hats about it. I guess its good for a canned beer.

The colder this beer is, the better it is. Goes down the gullet smoothly. Large heady bubbles tickle the nostrils. Partially frozen, it's a great slushie. You lose some bubbles though. Overall, a good thrist quencher in the heat.

Another beer I tried strictly for the sake of science. It smeled like something green - maybe celery. The head was massive with large bubbles, like the water from a washing machine. The flavor matched the smell, but was too faint to be a deterrant. This stuff is a guzzler's delight. I could have easily drank the entire 40oz bottle in an hour sitting (and gotten hammered!). Luckilly, I decided to switch to something with more/better flavor & fed the rest to the shrubs. This is not close to being a great beer, but is sure beats bud and the lite beers.

Not bad for a blondie...personally not a big fan, but know people who will buy it for good 13 dollar case of bottles.

Large bubbled whit that dont hang long.Clear gold color. Slight nose of corn and matbe a hop or two? Thin bodied. Dry, inky flavored. Finishes dry and dirty tasting.

Not a bad blonde ale for the price. I like the finish and the subtle flavors.

I wonder if this is still "America's largest selling ale". Poor head retention. I definitely get some hops in the nose sweet uncomplicated malt flavor. Ridiculously long finish: almost cloying. There is something very cool about this beer--it would be my beer of choice in the pre-micro world. I wish they'd bring back their India Pale Ale.

whimpy light ale. reminded me of a watery macro lager. clear beer in a clear glass no nose, and a very light taste....
