You have to rate it based on style and this is a pretty decent light beer. Not as bad as some of those macros out there, but you must remember, it is still a light beer.

Tasted on a recent visit to Woods on South in Charlotte, NC. Generally light in color with a very thin white head that dissipates to nothing. Aroma is very faint, some wheat present. Very little flavor to this beer with a slightly bitter finish. Reasonable for a light beer.

Draught. Think Sam Adams light with a bit less flavor. This is a decent take on the "light beer" idea. No off flavors or anything else gross on this one, but no pleasing flavors or body. This is really watery, but does manage to produce a nod at European hop flavor and maybe a drop of malt sweetness. Yeah, in summary this has no real bad taste and it kind of tastes like beer.

Pretty decent light beer. The only Carolina Blonde for me is NEEZY (with her hair died blonde). She is my Carolina Brunette. But this is a pretty tasty light beer, IMO.

From notes 5/17/03: Wow, is this a big waste of time. Cape Hatteras lighthouse on the label. Proclaims to be 70 calories and 2 grams of carbs. We’ll see if taste, aroma, and character are also on the extremely lower end of the scale. Is this even a color? This looks like this is watered down lemonade with a bunch of melted ice cubes in it for good measure. You wouldn’t want to have COLOR in a beer would ya? A soda pop white head dissolves into nothing. No lacing. The beer looks hazy and cloudy. Dirty dishwater. The aroma stinks. Corny, yet sugary. The taste is effervescent and biting. A crispness that you do NOT want to have in a beer. Thin mouthfeel. Nasty aftertaste. Nasty burps.

Draught.Clear golden color. The head was gone by the time it came to the table. Subtle citrus hop flavor and taste. Crisp finish with honey/buttery aftertaste. Not bad.

Another house beer from Carolina Ale House in Cary. Gold pour with aroma and taste of malt, some hopcit, and finishing honey crispness.
Earlier Rating: 4/25/2005 Total Score: 1.7
Pale gold pour with slight hopcit aroma. Not much taste, with some hopcit. Bland.

Bottle. Very weak beer. Small fizzy head (more than a bud) and pale body. Weak malt flavor and watery finish. Just weak all around.
