3.08/5  rDev +3.4%
look: 3.5 | smell: 3 | taste: 3 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3
Poured from a bottle into a Pint glass.

Look - clear golden color, with good carbonation and about half a finger of dull khaki-colored foam that dissipates slowly.

Smell - maybe a little biscuity or skunky smelling. Seems to have more malt smell in it than hops.

Taste and Mouthfeel - much like the smell, a bit skunky tasting. There's a little bit of bitterness at the finish, but not much there in the beginning or middle except for the "skunky" flavor. Texture is pretty well balanced.

Overall - it's an okay brew, but not at all interesting or thought-provoking.

Yellow beer, clarity is below average, white head, 1/2". Aroma was almost nothing.

Taste hit the light spots, under 20 ibu, real easy drinker, heavily carbonated. If I wanted something like this, I dunno, its just BMC with an ale yeast.

3.5/5  rDev +17.4%
look: 3.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5
Appearance - Pours a somewhat hazy straw yellow with a finger width head, decent retention, results in a thin, semi-sticky lacing.

Smell - Malted grain, earthy, grassy hops.

Taste - Grassy hop forward, with a bit of malted grain. Subtle hints of lemon or lime. Finishes with a fair amount of balance.

Mouthfeel - Light body, decently carbonated. Goes down with a nice smoothness.

Overall - Decent blonde ale. Not big on the style, and this one drinks about for par. Drinkable, but probably wouldn't buy again.
