Re-rate. In all fairness to my local brewpub, I have to bump this up after trying a few beers since this one that have sucked in comparison but come out ahead of it due to appearance and other factors. (Bumped up overall and flavor.) Originally 4/2/3/2/4 Aptly named, this is a beer that I can only see myself drinking again if it was free and I have been out in the sun doing yard work all day. Pours a light yellow with a small, white, diminishing head. Looks like the crap we drank from plastic cups in college. The aroma was slightly better than expected with strong, sweet corn backed by faint notes of cookie and citrus. Light, thin and soft, this one is brewed to please all of the BMC fans in the joint. The flavor is sweet, corny and very light, with the slightest hint of citrus in the background and a faint hop note at the finish (very faint). Meh. Waddya want? Its a lager.

Jul 21, 2007 Golden color. Sweet malt aroma. Taste is biscut and herbal hops. Clear, lingering bitterness but very balanced. This is not a beer style that I love, but this is a great example.

Jun 24, 2007 I have a sample of this while hang with the KC Crew. It was pale yellow with some good white foam. Typical grainy aroma and flavor. The thing is, there where some hops. And even some bitterness. Really kind of tastey.

Jun 24, 2007 Lightly fruity, citric aroma, some pale, lightly grainy malts as well as a faint touch of yeast. Light golden in color with an initially foamy head that subsides. Lightly grainy malt flavor, fruity and very lightly bitter with touches of leafy hop, lemon and perhaps some corn. Has some heft and flavor for its style, and is fairly clean. Described to me by the bartender as their "Bud Light clone", as well, but really is much better than that.

Jun 27, 2006 informed by my server that this was their answer to bud drinkers (yes, there actually are plenty of those mindless humanoids who frequent this place, inspite of the fact that it’s a brew pub!) however, this light brew fares far better than any mass produced american lager, it lacks the chickenfeed harshness that chokes the drinker, instead is, well, if you’ll allow...light and easy drinking, goes down smooth...it is very light on the palate, nothing to disturb the uninitiated drinkers, a simple, straight forward pale yellow lager with a hint of sweetness. this is a passable brew that probably would taste nice following an afternoon of lawnmowing and weedwhacking.
