2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20 bytemesis (1493) - Sunnyvale, California, USA - NOV 19, 2012Can - thanks to DeEtta for this one (for putting up with Mike stuffing his suitcase with shitty local beers). Pours very light golden with a medium fizzy white head that dissipates almost immediately with a bit of lacing. Aroma of grain, corn syrup. Flavor is light to medium sweet, light grassy bitter finish. Not bad for a pale lager.
2.5 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20 weihenweizen (1198) - Charleston Area, West Virginia, USA - JUN 3, 2013
Refrigerated 0.22 cl clear bottle. Clear pale golden, light body, low carbonation, white head. Taste is clean light malt. Refreshing and better than most light beers in my book. Surprising not skunky.
3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 60minuteman (440) - Frazer, Pennsylvania, USA - MAY 9, 2013
UPDATED: MAY 11, 2013 Much better than the namesake brew. Aroma lacks more than just pale malt and citrus. Taste is refreshing, excellent for a sunny cloudless day on a pier in the Caribbean

Borderline undrinkable. Vaguely Corona-like, with the added tastes of rusty metal and corn syrup! Mmm!

Sampled from bottle @ RBBWG 2013. Clear yellow golden color, virtually no head. Smell and taste malts, grains, grass. Faint, flat, uninteresting. Low body and carbonation.
1.7 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20 vikingguy (629) - Chaska, Minnesota, USA - MAY 4, 2012
Light gold with small white head. Aroma of sweet corny malt and some sourness. Taste - much like the smell, corn flakes, grassy malt, a touch of caramel and some funk. Poor.
1.7 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 4/20 ajax25g (33) - Seattle area, Washington, USA - APR 15, 2012
Bottle thanks to tderoeck, gracias! Nose of wet cardboard, musky, lightly toasted grain. Small white head, light, straw-gold color. Tastes of plain crackers, corn, slightly bitter, with a bit of what seems like corn syrup. Light body with decent carb. If I had to have only one beer for the rest of my life this would be it.
