| 2.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Jun 15, 2009 Average blonde ale. A bit watered down, but better than most AB products. Smooth texture and nice caramel presence. fidelis83 (724), Clinton, Iowa, USA
| 1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 2/5 | 1/10 | 1/5 | 3/20 | Jun 13, 2009 Pours pale goldish yellow with a 2 finger, chunky white head. Aroma is full of soap, a little caramel, butterscotch, leafy hops, glycerin soap fruitiness and a hint of citrus, very strange aroma. Flavor is sweet malt, gross planty notes, more glycerin soap (this time more "spring forest" like), some medicinal notes, a little artificial caramel flavor. Finish is sweet barley, dried corn, a little bitter and lots of leafy hops. Palate is thin slightly slick on the entry and dry to finish, it’s very highly carbonated, but not enough to hide the horrible flavor. This stuff is gross, I wasn’t expecting much, but.... what a friggin mess. Sparky27 (1596), Phoenix, Arizona, USA
| 2.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | May 27, 2009 Bottle. Pours clear light gold with a 2 finger snow white head that leaves spotty lacing. The nose is sweet malt and faint hops. The taste is sweet malt and honey with light hops in the finish. Lighter mouthfeel. Meh, not the worst I’ve had. milljam (569), Norman, Oklahoma, USA
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | May 24, 2009 And the crappy tradition continues of attempting to act like a microbrewery, and failing in the process. Some notes/flavors of caramel and malt, and a subtle hint of hops, but nothing more than that. ben4321 (1012), Rockville, Maryland, USA

Here’s the Blond version of the Bud "Let’s pretend we’re a micro brewery" weiser collection of crappy, fake craft brews. patrick767 (2033), fort wayne, Indiana, USA
| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Mar 28, 2009 bottle - Pours clear yellow with a thin head that laces a little bit. It has a very light aroma of grainy malt with a touch of hops. The flavor is a bland, light, grainy malt and finishes just a little dry. It’s light bodied and watery. This one’s certainly better than a regular Bud and would be improved if quaffed on a hot day, but it’s still quite lacking.

| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Mar 12, 2009 On tap at Bacchus. Pours a clear light yellow with no head. Aroma is almost non-existent, save for a faint hint of citrus. Body is on the thin side, and crisp and devoid of flavor. Ends lightly and with a hint of grain and lemon. This reminded me of a beer seltzer, and it wasn’t until talking with the bartender after I had taken notes and scored it that I found out this was an AB product, along the lines of shocktop, blue moon, et al, and that explained a lot. It didn’t taste so much like beer, as it tasted like a beer flavored seltzer water.
