Well looks wise it ain’t much, clear, yellow and fizzy with a small head that dissipated quickly and left not much lacing. Aroma is kind of sweet, smell more like an adjunct lager brewed with corn than a pure malt brew. A bit of honey and some grains too. Taste isn’t quite as sweet as the aroma led me to believe it would be, but it’s still somewhat sweet. It’s got a nice graininess and a little grassy flavor too. There’s a light bitterness that provides some balance, but nothing notable as being hops. Body is very light, fizzy, and quite easy to drink. It’s a good lawnmower beer, or a substitute for AALs. It’s not much to write home about though.

A golden color with a white head. The aroma contains some lemons and corn mostly. The flavor doesn’t contain much of anything really with some lemon and slight grassy notes. Would be ok in the place of BMC swill but thats about all the props I can give.

12oz bottle. Small persistent head, clean pour, clear "blonde" color, laces ok. Aroma is cereals and slightly yeasty. Taste is light, pretty clean, but nothing interesting here. Slight aftertaste. It’s slightly sub-par, it might be OK with food (barbecue). It’s closer to a pale lager than a true pilsener.

Bottle. Watery, overly tart, and uninteresting. I would avoid this unless your other options are even worse pale lagers.

Pours a clear golden yellow with little to no head. Aromas of yeast and grass. I’d say this i a decent pilsener from a mi(a)cro brewery and its better than the rest of the macros out there, but it’s still nothing special.

citrus, golden, medium bitterness, light body, average carbonation, bitter, better than some of the mass market beers I’ve had in the past, but not one I’d care to have again.

Beer sucks, it’s sweet, without much taste, fizzy and overall boring. Shouldn’t be called blond if it’s a pils, cause the yeast definitely doesn’t work.

I’m from Texas so im biased. Light, no head. Still, better then your typical nascar beer.

Bottle->SA glass. Pale yellow, slight head that quickly dissipates. Aroma of light malt. Taste has mild hops. Crisp and refreshing, but ultimately dull.
