Yellow pour with white creamy head and lace. Light sweet malt and a decent perfumy hop aroma and flavor. Medium light bodied. an ok beer.

Smells like a cheap lager. Looks okay. This tastes much better than it smells. Taste mostly like a pils, dry crispness. Easy drinking.

(Draught) Pours a clear pale yellow body with a small white head. Aroma of grass, mustiness, and delicate florals. Flavor of grain and some grass.

Clear light yellow with no head. Musty grain aroma and taste with a clean finish.

Pale straw pour, no head or lacing. Kind of sour corny flavor, pretty flat. Tastes like a bitter pale lager, even has the sweet pale lager aftertaste. Completely forgettable.

Had it on tap at Belle Isle Brewery in OKC. Pretty lousy. Not the dumbest blond in the world, but ditzy nonetheless. Skunky smell. Metallic and watery. Try their others first.

On tap at the brewery. Pours a clear straw color. The white head leaves a nice lacing on the pint glass. Has a grainy, yeasty smell. Light bodied with a lively mouthfeel. Taste is of sweet malt grains, very refreshing. Finishes with a nice grainy tasting burp. A lightly flavored brew as you’d expect from a blond, but for $1.75 a pint I’d drink this all day long vs. any mega-brewer offerings. Aug 2003

Draft at the brewpub: poured light yellow with a smallish white head. Light aroma of grapes, apples, with a smattering of hops. Flavors perk up as the beer warms which also reveals the fruitiness but a bit of corn finish. Somewhat watery finish. Decent.

(Tap) Pours a yellow color with no head and relatively low carbonation. Aroma of corn flakes and grass. Very light palate. Actually less offensive than some of their other beers, but still pretty darn bad.
