Clear yellow pour, small white head. Nice cereals, soft grassy hops. Nothing special, crisp, and easy drinking. A nice alternative to macro swill.

This blonde poured a clear light amber colour with a bright white, creamy head. Medium lacing. Scents include creamed corn, must, cereal and a little honey. First swig was a little thin on the mouthfeel but had nice flavours. Flavours include very light toast, cereal and dough. Finish is slightly hoppy with lingering flavours of cereal and frozen peas? Mild bitterness lingering.

Pours a hazy light-golden colour with a nice white cap, good retention and foamy lacing. A good balance of mild cereal grain and hops. The taste is a little of the same, but with the hops showing in the finish that is not as balanced with the very mild malts. Overall refreshing and what a blonde should be. Wish the hops were as tasty as the nose gives out to be.

Bottle - Lots of wheat and very little sweetness. Clear pale gold with a thin head. All wheat and raw wheat. I am all for beers losing sweetness, but this is supposed to be and all I tasted was raw grain.
