Bottle at The Kick Off in Waterloo. I just felt like getting a tick rating, but was mildly surprised by how almost okay this one was. Pours a very pale and dead yellow. Aroma is basically plastic and skunk, not inviting. But the flavour is actually quite decent for what it is. The plastic is there, but some grainy sweet malts with a bit of weird but not off-fruity notes, and well rounded in the end with a genuine dry hop bite to it. Not too fizzy and filling like most other ’lite’ beers. I actually didn’t regret ordering this, and would drink it again if offered for free or at a ridiculously low price.

12oz bottle poured into a shaker. Pours a clear pale yellow with minimal head. Aroma of corn and grass. Taste is about the same. Light bodied with a thin texture. Fizzy carbonation and not much of a finish. Overall, I’ve had worse, but I can’t say I’m a fan of this one.

Less flavor than even most other macro pale lagers. Not rude, but barely a step above the taste-lacking Michelob Ultra.

esta birria cacasa la tomamos todo el tiempo; si hasta en la tienda omar creo que la tenian

Yellow colour with a white head. A very light lager beer in any way. Light light malty and hoppy aroma and flavour. Bottle

Can 330ml.

Clear medium yellow colour with a average, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, white head. Aroma is light to moderate malty, grain, malt, light cereal, vegetable notes. Flavour is light moderate sweet and light light bitter with a average duration, thin, malty. Body is light to medium, texture is watery, carbonation is soft. [20120401]

An above average light pale lager. More flavor than you get from mostly all mass produced light beers. I like to drink this or miller light if the bar doesn’t carry any craft beers.

weak head, nice amber color, sweet malt aroma. It has a pleasant refreshing feel. Better than any light american beer

12 oz bottle. Pours clear pale yellow. Aroma of corn. Flavor is grain, skunky old water, leaves. Very odd aftertaste.

Very disappointed at this beer. It was like drinking bitter fizzy water. No aroma or taste. Rating is probably generous.

33 cL can. Pours clear and golden yellow with a small white head. Aroma is mild grassy and slight cornish. Bitter, mild citric and cornish malty. Light bitter and cornish finish.
