Can from American Candy & Liquor, Birmingham. New region tick for me. Gold with a white head and a light fizz. Dusty grains up front with a touch of sweetcorn. Improves towards the end with some honey and sweet lemon. Sub-par but drinkable.

Golden pur, with a very slight haze, a bubbly white head and a sweet honey-like aroma, with some floral notes. Light bodied, a touch of citrus, definite sweet honey and a little kick in the finish

US Pint can (473ml) into a Good People Brewing Company sleeve glass at home on 19th October 2024. Light golden body, clean and clear, on top a white affair of tight bubbles. Claims to be brewed with honey and orange zest, picking up the orange notes, but not any honey. Pleasant enough and a new, rare (for me) North Carolina rating.

Right from the weiss $2 can I was expecting a hazy pale ale, but its not hazy; its clear yellow. Usually a blonde will have a little haze to her look, right? First big swig is somewhat annoyingly astringent, just slightly. Its already talking back to me. In a glass it makes a big white foamy head. Yea, flavor seems like it should be more than 5%, fer sher. It just somewhat lacks in civility, you know, blondes are more civil, right? Towards the end I'm getting a little annoyed, its not getting any better. It's just a tick. A decent tick, almost. Move on, those blondes.

Clear gold pour with a one finger white head. The aroma is of grainy malt and honey. The flavor is sweet with grainy malt, honey, and minimal hops bitterness. Light bodied.

This brew pours a clear golden color with a thin white head that dissipates quickly to an outer ring. Short strings of lace. Aroma of citrus, malt and faint hops. Light-bodied with flavors of caramel malt, citrus and mild grassy hops. The finish is sweet with a malty aftertaste. Slightly above average overall.

Can sample at The Amazing Canival. Clear bright yellow color, white head. Floral aroma with light orange. Taste starts sweet, with orange peel and subtle bitterness. Tasty and easy drinking.
