Bottle. Sweet, full of adjuncts, lots of corn and rice. Very sweet. Kinda skunky.

Pours thin and weak like a late-autumn leaf. Color is translucent yellow with a slight glaze of lace. Flavor is weak hops and piss-flavored malt. No better than a really good macro.

Clear yellow with a thick white head. Light malt aroma with some wet dog. Very clean with a mild malt flavor and a small bitter finish. On the watery side. Not bad but not great.

(16.9 oz bottle: $2 at Wine Time in La Jolla, CA) There’s just something visually appealing to a yellow, crystal clear beer, topped by a large white head, with an army of carbonation bubbles rising through the beer. Independent of what the beer smells and tastes like, it’s at least pretty to look at. Unfortunately, that’s the end of my praise for this beer. The nose is dry and grassy. Dry, grassy, lightly grainy flavor shows mild bitterness. There’s some cardboard flavor going on here, but it’s not overwhelming. Light bodied with a fairly well carbonated mouthfeel, zesty enough to break up what might be an awful aftertaste. Not a very enjoyable beer, but it’s not among the worst either. Maybe on par with BMCs, but it’s been awhile since I’ve had one of those.

Pale yellow colour. Some malts, slightly sour. Acrid finish. Heiniken-level.

(Bottle 50 cl) Very pale with a pretty full and creamy head. Faint hoppy aroma and a discreet bitterness. Otherwise completely anonymous. 090704

(Can) Pale golden colour with a small thin white head. Malty aroma with some grain and a light sweetness. Flavor is malty with hints of a fruity sweetness.

drinkable, but pedestrian and had a metallicness to it that borders on heineken like annoying. Citrus and pils helps to redeem it some, but not enough.
