Note : Full name is Cruiser Hummingbird Blonde Lager. However, it has some grapefruit flavour added, hence my listing as a fruit/vegetable beer.

Appearance - 4.0
Pours two fingers of dense white foam head that leaves sticky lace over a clear, pale, straw coloured body - similar colour to many a white wine.

Smell - 1.0
Pretty unappealing, stale and husky with a faintly sweet lollyish character

Taste - 2.0
Grapefruit flavour (not real juice) is actually a positive for this beer, perking up what would otherwise be a very dull lager. Sweet, but not sickly like many of the new "radler" style beers. Almost zero malt or hop character (or bitterness), just a dry husky character and slightly tart in the finish.

Mouthfeel - 3.5
Fine, champage-like carbonation, light bodied, slightly puckering.

Overall - 2.5
Definitely not a beer I would go back to, but not hard to drink by any measure. I won't say this is a "beer for girls", because that is an insult to serious female beer drinkers. This is a beer made for people who don't really like beer. I've had worse.
