A good starter beer for those that have only drank the mass produced suds. The blonde is a light, crisp beer with a slight malt flavor and just enough Saaz hops to balance the malt sweetness.

From the Safeway in Flagstaff. Blond with a creamy, white head. Faintly floral aroma mixed with crackers. Taste is mildly bitter over a dough-like sweetness. Light-bodied, watery texture. Not much to it.

12 oz. can from Total Wine, Scottsdale, AZ. Pours a crystal clear gold color with a white head and very good retention. Good lacing. Very faint aroma. Soft and sweet bready malts flavor with a smooth, clean finish and no bitterness. Light body. A very simple and refreshing profile. Very lager-like.

16 oz. draft at (The Hudson), Sedona, AZ. Crystal clear golden appearance, lasting thin head. Slow carbonation level. Aroma and flavor are a mirror. Mild, weak hop, vanilla, grain. Light body and a clean easy finish. For a standard issue blonde, decent.

Undated can from a gas station, but it was refrigerated, drunk 12/31/15.
Clear, golden body is well-carbonated and topped by an initially large white head that quickly fades to cover/ring.
Not a whole lot in the nose: some corn, various cereal notes, vanilla and a very sparse floral hop character. No flaws or alcohol.
Moderately sweet, with a strange corn and vanilla character. Rather "stale" tasting and perhaps it has sat in the fridge for a long time, not sure. Nothing particularly offensive going on and it’s at least well-attenuated, but there’s very little hop character and the texture is quite filtered and unspectacular.

Draft. Amber beer with a cream head. Light malt aroma. Malt and light spice flavor with low hops. Medium bodied. Malt and light spice lingers with low hops.

12oz can (labeled Barrio Blonde with an agreeable design to it) pours with a clear watery gold body and really no head at all. The modest aroma has sweet malts, faint grainy malts and a floral sort of vague spicy hoppiness. The nearly carbonation free taste has a mild degree spicy to floral hops, a sliver of lime and then sugary sweet maltiness.

on tap-pours a disappearing white head and yellow color. Aroma is grain. Taste is sweet grain-honey, secondary grassy hops.
