12 oz. can from Total Wine - San Antonio, TX. Pours a clear gold color with a loose white head and fair retention. No lacing. Light citrus aroma. As advertised, the flavor has a mix of honey and citrus notes, but they don't blend together well. And the base beer isn't bready enough IMHO, and has a slightly acidic finish. Swing and a miss for me. Light, thinner body than expected. Medium carbonation. No/low bitterness.

Half pour @ the source. Plastic cup... Amber, chill hazed, seriously frothy. Grainy nose with some floral honey & barely any orange. Could be better. Taste is bitter lime, bitter orange, some residual honey, but the bitterness keeps scaling. Okay.
More citrus peel than honey but it hits the mark.

Recent acquisition of a 12 oz can single from the nearby supermarket. Sometimes the flavored blondes are fairly good, certainly worth a tasting. I think I'll use a snifter on this one, the pour comes out a yellow-orange followed by a thin cover of completely white foam. The scent is assuredly orange. The drink gives me a taste of honey with some citrus circling about. Inoffensive as blondes typically are, better than average.
