Pale straw colour. Not much nose - slighty fruity. Really husky, and sticky sweet. Lots of fruity esters, but no hops for them to play with. Too sweet. Major conceptual problems.

(Bottle, courtesy of travita) Pours a clear yellow body with a spare white ring of bubbles. Aroma of grain, grass, and wet husks. Flavor of hops (grass), grain, and some caramel malt with a hint of metallic in the finish.

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

Tall slim can courtesy of durhambeer. Looks like a Red Bull can. Pours a hazy gold with a generous white head. Smells of citrus, some dry malt. Tastes of citrus with a dry malty finish.

The best thing about my experience with this beer is that it came in a 16 ounce, squishy, brown plastic bottle. "Tall Blonde." Very confusing drink. The label reads, "A Genuine Pilsner Style Beer." That it ain’t, and "Golden Ale/Blonde Ale" is probably the best place to leave it. It pours a dirty straw color and doesn’t produce much of a head. It smells of malt and overly ripened pears. Tastes malty with old fruit and an odd bitterness. This is one of those beers that raises the question, "Why?"
