Tried for the first time May, 2004 while on vacation in Atlantic City. Can.
I was very surprised. It was quite cheap ($2.49 for a six-pack). It looked and smelled like any other cheap beer.
But it actually had some bite to it. A unique flavor and a gritty, somewhat hoppy after-taste. I would buy this again, if I could find it, and find it this cheap. This stuff is made by Pabst-ala-Miller, yet I’ve never seen it here in Milwaukee. What gives?
It’s not a great brew, but it is a good cheap brew. Get it? Not too shabby!

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.
