Golden colour. Slight spicy hop presence, decent balance, and very light mossy, earthy nuances towards the finish.

clear yellow-orange colour, no head, candy sugar and light perfumy aroma, too much carbonation, bitter floral finish - not that bad for something "largest-selling"

Corked, caged 750 ml bottle, aged for 9 years in Granma's root cellar --- nahh, just kiddin'. 12 0-oz bottle -- has the design on this changed in 20 years? Clear light yellow, lots of bubbling, seems like soda-pop carbonation. Tiny head, diminishes instantly. Minimal sweet corn nose followed by minimal sweet corn flavor -- tiny hint of hoppiness at the end. Little brackish metal/saltiness in the mouthfeel. Not as terrible as I expected, but worse than I remembered from years ago.

"<i>America’s largest selling ale.</i>" <b>!?!?!</b> That’s what it says on the label, anyway. Understandable in a country &#40;<i><u>my</u></i> country!&#41; that thrives on BMC pale lagers. Anywho - it’s a nice golden color. The aroma is watery, bready with a suggestion of hops. Thin in the mouth, the flavor is almost tasteable, a mild sweet malt mixed with vast amounts of water. The finish, almost unnoticed, is a final dab of sweet malt.<br /><br /><font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/ShowPlace.asp?PlaceID=2069><u>DiCarlo’s Armanetti, Willowbrook, IL</u></a><font size=-1><br />

Really only a shell of its former self. But, when I mean former, I remember it had some real ale qualities 25 years ago, but now I have to dance with who brung ya. Light golden color with a smallish off-white head. Aromas of white soda, grain, quinine and a hint of spicy hops. Light sweet malt mix with a touch of grain and herbal hops. Some raw flavors seem to suggest real hops, but still a touch thin and tinny.
