40oz can in Charlotte. Tasted blind next to 19 macro pale lagers and was one of the worst of the bunch. Creamed corn, stale grain, and bread. Not good. I’ll never buy this again.

12 oz can. Hazy pale yellow pour with a white head and good retention. Light lacing. Light mouthfeel. Light lemony taste and semi crisp finish. Easy drinking and repeatable, but nothing memorable. Aptly named.

Can at home. It pours a clear pale golden color with a white head. The aroma has some light grains, corn and apple sauce. The flavor is actually fairly clean with mostly grains and lighter notes of apple and corn. Light hints of earthy hop bitterness. Full bodied for the style. Ok stuff. Easy to crush on a hot day.

24 oz man can, brought to the golf course. Can’t imagine pouring this one. This beer was made for activities. The kind of beer that it’s hard to rate, because you are too busy enjoying yourself with something. The kind of beer that makes you say, "New Belgium makes a beer like this..? Awesome" Soft aroma. Crisp, cool grains flavor, subtle hops, but a type of beer that 24 oz is not enough. This beer is exactly what it is supposed to be. Refreshing. I like it.

Just kind of a bland, overly sweet corn ale thing, not particularly bad but lacking any noteworthiness other than its general mediocrity. Pretty and blond, sure, but the malts skew too sugary, adding an unpleasant honey-and-corn middle offset by a mild yeastiness and a floral Euro-hop finish. Texture’s just about right, though. I can see getting by with Dayblazer in a pinch, but there’s really no reason unless it’s the only brew in the cooler.

Not too bad, has its place. Better than many blond ales I’ve had. Nose was grainy, flavor similar sweet cereal grains, hint of lemon. Light but not watery body. Nice foamy head, pale gold. Very lightly hopped.

24 oz can from Buy Rite, nice! Pours bright gold with a nice, somewhat fizzy white head. Some nice looking, streaky lacework. Grains, honey, bit of grass. Light citrus. Drinks clean, mid-sweet, light bitter on the close. Quite nice on the mouthfeel, and one of those beers that's simple and refreshing, but still has enough flavor too. Nice crusher, big can makes sense here.

Clear golden with a white head. Light citrus, faint toasty malt, light sweetness. Decent session ale. Crushable.
