Poured from a can into pint glass
Appearance – The beer pours a clear golden amber color with a one finger height head of white foam. The head fades rather quickly leaving a moderate level of foamy lace on the sides of the glass.
Smell – The aroma is a nice blend of malt and sweet, with a strong showing of caramel and some peach along with notes of bready and dough. Along with these comes a little bit of a yeasty smell as well as a hint of clove.
Taste – the taste is much lighter than the nose would let on, with a light cracker and bready malt paired with a touch of caramel. There is also a very light level of must and hay, as well as some light notes of herb.
Mouthfeel – The body is very thin and light with a moderate carbonation level.
Overall – Very light, but refreshing. Good for a very warm day when you want something with a light beer flavor without the effects of alcohol.

Poured no foam. Medium golden color. Smells of malt and yeast. Tastes a little grainy or yeasty. Feels watered down.
It's not too bad. I don't think there is a heck of a lot going on here, but that's what you get for 15 calories a can.
Would be a good diet drink and I may get more sometime, but not anytime too soon.

Pours a clear golden color, white head. Aroma of just a touch grain, very mild. Similarly not much flavor, closer to beer flavored water. No real body. Not unpleasant tasting, just not much there.

355 mL can from a Partake mixed pack purchased at the LCBO; best before May 4 2024 and served slightly chilled. New label design for Partake, and it's much more classy/professional than the old look.
Pours bright, clear gold with some effervescence; half a finger of tight, foamy white head lasts for about sixty seconds, quickly reduced to a thin collar and some filmy wisps. Very muted, mostly neutral aroma of doughy bread, grain husk and popcorn.
The flavour profile is bland, but palatable enough for a NA blonde, with no discernible flaws. Bready malts, dough and a light honeyed sweetness, with hints of club soda and earthiness on the back end; mineral water in the aftertaste. Light in body, with moderate carbonation that adds a little bit of a bite to this brew's smooth mouthfeel. Very easy to toss back, and definitely not interesting enough to be worth nursing.
Final Grade: 3.22, a C+. Partake's Blonde is what it is... acceptable, but completely forgettable. This was the second non-alcoholic blonde ale on the docket for tonight, and it wasn't as good as the one I reviewed earlier. That's not to suggest that it's a poor beer: this is still a decent product, but along the same lines as their Pale, it's pretty average. I could drink this again if I had a good reason to do so, but it's not a top choice in its category.

(12 oz can, BB Mar-14-2023; purchased single off shelf... poured into a ribbed stem IPA glass)
L: brilliantly-clear, gold liquid; two-finger high, dimpled, cottony, white foam... steady cap, lacing a good amount too
S: Corn Pops, lipstick, grassy spice, hint of dry perry?
T: Kix cereal, dry butter cookie, honey malt husk, wet moss... low bitterness, mild acidity, both perhaps carbonation derived... mild herbality gradually builds
F: levitating light body, airy, delicately frayed texture... soft spicy hop warmth... little to no roundness or viscosity; a bit too thin?
O: surprisingly decent for a NA blonde... about what one could hope for minus arguably some subtle sweetness... works fine as a malted carbonated all-purpose bev (1993)

Very solid non alcoholic option that only has 15 cals in a can!
Easy to drink, refreshing, light blonde ale that is admitedly a bit weak on flavour...
Regulars for me though now I'm off the sauce and anyone I've given a can to has enjoyed it for what it is, a stand in.

A: The beer is crystal clear yellow in color and has a light to moderate amount of visible carbonation. It poured with a short white head that quickly died down and left a narrow collar around the edge of the glass.
S: Light aromas of bready malts and "off" flavors are present in the nose.
T: The taste follows the smell, but has less in the way of the "off" flavors.
M: It feels light- bodied on the palate and has a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This beer is very easy to drink. The "off" aromas in the smell that you often get from non-alcoholic beers is a bit of a setback but it wasn't that prevalent in the taste.
