12oz bottle-A golden body with a small head and an aroma of sourness and nothing. Taste of the same with more nastiness. Just bad.

Bottle. A golden color although slightly darker than I would have expected. An ice floral aroma with some candy. Smoth and light with an oily palate. Rating from 2005 notes.

This is the 2nd beer that I had carried back from California. I had this after a ABT/Quadrupel with 10% alcohol, so my taste buds were still in shock. This beer was very inoffensive and it went down easy. I like a little lemon in my Blondes and a small amount of hops in the body made it enjoyable.

This one we had after sipping some heavier beers so that might not have been the right way to go. Lemony aroma, very pale yellow with minimal head. Mild hoppy palate. Inoffensive. PS thanks Ron for sharing this with me!

(12 oz bottle) Brewbakers is quickly becoming my most despised brewery; Aside from crappy beers, a bomber of their Tex Mex exploded in my beer cellar recently and created a huge fucking mess; This is a cheap tasting beer resembles a mass produced American lager, but quite possibly, it's even worse; Mildly sweet maltiness is totally overrun by an unpleasant sourness that persists in a long finish; The nose is sour; This is a first: the palate has a sour sensation just by inhaling the beer before sipping it; Hazy pale yellow in color; Head retention is not applicable since there was no head to speak of on the pour, and you're left with a totally headless beer within a few seconds; Honestly, I was assuming the beer was skunked and soured, but based on the previous reviews here, apparently this is the way this beer is supposed to taste; I'm pissed off that a highly respected store like Hi Times would even carry this crap; This is a really bad beer all around, just plain horrible, and my first drain pour in quite awhile; What a way to cap off a golden/blonde beer tasting, goddammit!
