Carolina Beer Company Carolina Blonde
Appearance: Very little white head that dissipates quickly. Light straw body that is slightly hazy.
Smell: Very mild aroma. There's just a little malt.
Taste: The beer starts out a little sweet and mildly fruity. Strangely enough, if you like wit biers, you may like the mild sweetness in this beer, it's reminiscent of the style. It ends dry, though. This would be a great beer for the summer! A good, dry lager would really quench the thirst, and the mild fruity sweetness makes it interesting. It would go very well with fruit salad.
