COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
A lighter ale brewed with very select pale malts and mildly flavored with a blend of special hops. This beer is exceptionally smooth, crisp and very drinkable with a rich gold color.

A very light bodied blonde, that lack alot of character. Slightly sweet and acidic. Nicely balanced, but overall just too light for my tastes.

jgb9348 (3492) - Arlington (Pentagon City), Virginia, USA - OCT 3, 2003
Golden in colour with a very thin white head. Subtle aroma of malt, metal and a bit of sweetness. Light-bodied; Subtle flavours of malt, but that is about it. Aftertaste shows just about nothing as well, only leaving some of the malt behind. Overall, a spot-on beer for the style, but as it is a blonde, I don't care for it too much. I had this pint on draught at Barley's in Knoxville, Tennessee on 27-September-2003.

Gold with a thin white head. Maybe a little smoke in the aroma. Initial flavor is kind of grape jam-esque, then fades to a mildly stale, cardboardy finish.

Shag (2283) - Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA - AUG 24, 2003
I'll take it for what is, a blonde ale. Yellowish appearance with a moderate head. Simple lager flavor with some malt detectable. Watery thin palate. A lawnmower beer is the best way to sum it up. But as the brewer says "This goes down smooth!"

Very thin taste. Pale yellow color with no head. Not very impressed with this one. No balance whatsoever.

A bit thin, but overall, a very mild, well-balanced beer. Refreshing after a day on the beach!

Uglyradio (791) - Greenville, South Carolina, USA - JUL 29, 2003
This one pours a hazy golden yellow color with a thin, diminishing white head. It has a slightly malty, grainy aroma with a touch of hops. It has a light body with medium carbonation and a somewhat crisp mouthfeel. The flavor is malty, corny, and grainy. The finish is just slightly sweet but mostly bland and almost watery. Unimpressive.

brownaler (378) - Topsail Beach, North Carolina, USA - MAY 22, 2003
A smooth ale with just too much corn flavoring within. Though I'd take over the BMC swill anyday of the week.
