Pours an extremely pale fizzy gold with virtually no head. Quickly has no head at all. Smells of pale malt and light hops. A bit of skunk which I will attribute to the green bottle.
Taste is creamy and light. Very light hops aftertaste. Light fruity flavors. Very crisp. A bit of skunk in the taste as well. Body is light, light, light. Just evaporates off the tongue.
Very, very drinkable brew and represents itself well for a cheap beer. I think this would definitely be better in a can without the skunky aroma. (Can reviews seem to uphold this theory.)

Sep 30, 2008 Had to try this one for the history. Pretty clean grain aroma and flavor, with just a hint of fruitiness in the aroma. Not terrible.

Sep 3, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pours a good looking clear gold with a fluffy bright white head. Aroma of vegtables, corn and wet grass and grains. Medium body with fizzy carbonation. Weak flavor of stale grain and vegtable soup that finishes with a touch of bitterness. Blah.

Sep 2, 2008 Ahhh the legendary Ballantine ale. Been wanting to try this for a while. Too bad I’ll never get to try the IPA. This blonde isn’t bad though. 3.6% of all blondes...really people? Maybe I got lucky and got an unskunked sample. I get a very light hop aroma. Clear yellow, small white head. Flavor is smooth, slightly fruity aftertaste. Smooth finish, medium body.

Aug 21, 2008 Drank it out of a can. Didn’t pour anything, just drank it. Nothing to write home about, but better than others.

Aug 18, 2008 This beer tastes like it was brewed before any escalators. Horrible. Skunky aroma and taste and hard to drink. Found this little billie to be pretty offensive.
