jhumphries69 (1035) - Tyrone, Georgia, USA - AUG 5, 2007

Pours a light straw - very bright and clear - with a thin white head. The aroma is very light - a slight smell of ale yeast with the slightest hints of "beer" (typical, expected smells of malts and hops). The flavor is very mild with some sweetness and a very mild hop bitterness in the finish that balances the light flavor malts. The mouthfeel is light and a bit watery with a substantial amount of carbonation.

Pours golden yellow with little head. Aroma is sweet which complements the sweet malts in the beer. Crisp finish, great blond.

troyc (2014) - Oklahoma, USA - JUL 31, 2007

(Bottle) Pours a golden color with a small, yet lasting, white head. Aroma is light and features grains. Taste is pretty typical for a blonde ale, with a malt presence that is balanced quite nicely by some crisp hops towards the end. The thing that sets this beer above others in the category is the mouthfeel. Much more creamy and full than I expected. This is not a bad beer!

cking (1175) - North Canton, Ohio, USA - JUL 29, 2007

Uneventful brew from a rather mediocre brewer, this blonde is forgettable. Dark gold pour with a good creamy head and decent lacing. Plain cereal aroma very boring and extremely faint. The beer has a decent malty body that’s lightly bitter, but there’s a soapy tacky finish that detracts from it. Flavor is a major yawn, not much involved here. Some grainy malt and very mild hops, slightly off balance. I’m off the hook with this one.

dyetube (984) - McKinney, Texas, USA - JUL 28, 2007

This beer pours a golden yellow with a thin white head. This thing has a very light hoppy lemon aroma. The flavor is not very complex, but it is very smooth and quite drinkable! This beer is god for when it’s ahot summer day and you want something light and refreshing. This beer may not be one of the best, but I actually liked it as a good summer beer. Cheers!
