Dec 15, 2008 Bottle. One of the finest ales in America? uh, no. There is a mildly hoppy aroma. Golden body, small head. Flavor is scant malts, a little sweet. Not much else.

Sep 30, 2008 Had to try this one for the history. Pretty clean grain aroma and flavor, with just a hint of fruitiness in the aroma. Not terrible.

Sep 3, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pours a good looking clear gold with a fluffy bright white head. Aroma of vegtables, corn and wet grass and grains. Medium body with fizzy carbonation. Weak flavor of stale grain and vegtable soup that finishes with a touch of bitterness. Blah.

Sep 2, 2008 Ahhh the legendary Ballantine ale. Been wanting to try this for a while. Too bad I’ll never get to try the IPA. This blonde isn’t bad though. 3.6% of all blondes...really people? Maybe I got lucky and got an unskunked sample. I get a very light hop aroma. Clear yellow, small white head. Flavor is smooth, slightly fruity aftertaste. Smooth finish, medium body.

Aug 21, 2008 Drank it out of a can. Didn’t pour anything, just drank it. Nothing to write home about, but better than others.

Aug 18, 2008 This beer tastes like it was brewed before any escalators. Horrible. Skunky aroma and taste and hard to drink. Found this little billie to be pretty offensive.

Aug 17, 2008 Can. Blonde pour with a thick white head. Aroma is like slightly skunky hops, but the taste is ok. A little sweet, a little bitter, nothing special but drinkeable.
