Pours hazy yellow with thin white head. Faint malt nose. Grainy, thin flavor, almost like a pale lager but with a bit of floral hops. Light bodied but not watery. Faint bitter finish. Neh.

On tap at RAM, Schaumburg,IL: Nicknamed, "Chicago Blonde". Clear golden yellow with a hint of adjunct in the nose (even if there isn’t actually any in there) and a slight hint of hops. Amazing lacing for a below average beer, some malt sweetness and a hint of bitterness at the finish.

Not much flavor. For those who compare it to Bud or some other yellow American pisswater, I’d say that it notably lacks the flavors of corn and grass. But other than some malt sweetness, there’s not much here.

Had at Humperdinks on Greenville. Listed as Texas Blonde. Same appearance as the light. A bit more lacing maybe. No smell or taste really, very generic. Fizzy.

Sold to me as Texas Blonde at Humperdink’s in Dallas, Tx. Yellow with a white head. Grassy aroma. Slightly metallic. Good lacing. Medium body. A bit gummy.

At the Rosemont location. The pale lager of the ale world. This was quite light and slightly watery. Good as an alternative to macro stuff. Serving; Tap

Tap in Schaumberg. Pours clear pale yellow with a small, fizzy white head, short retention with no lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (cereal, meal, grain), light hops (spicy), and notes of corn. Flavor is malty and lightly bitter. Light body, low warmth, medium carbonation and a dry finish.

Sampler @ Ram brewery. Pale clearish yellow color. Litlle head, white. Little malty aroma. Malty taste. Some hop. Clean finish.

Draft at CB Potts, Cheyenne; gold with a small white head; nose was grainy; flavor had a tiny bit of malt and hops.

(Tap) Pours yellow with white head. Tastes similar to a macro. Light body and metallic flavor. Sweet aftertaste. Not impressive at all.
