I picked this up at the nearby Walgreens. It poured a pale yellow body with lots of active bubbling and a respectable head that lasted the duration of the drinking... which went quickly. There’s not too much to comment about after that. The aroma, sweet pale malt, is so faint that I almost passed out trying to get a whiff of it. The flavor’s the same, a faint sweetness with a distant suggestion of earthy bitterness. Very thin body but solidly carbonated. It finshes almost devoid of an aftertaste. Pretty much what I’d expected.

Pour from a 12 oz can. Very faint aroma of grain. Crystal clear, light yellow lager with foamy whte head. Good head retention. Taste is ... light. Very light. A little bit of sweet grain at the start and a little papery dryness in the finish. Overall, inoffensive with no nasty ovetones. I rate it as equal to the better of the macro light lagers and better than many.

can from Walgreens - So.... well.... this beer is really cheap. It’s a typical clear, fizzy yellow beer. It smells a little grainy. That’s it. The flavor is mild and relatively inoffensive. It could have been worse.

Walgreens beer... nice. A typical bad american lager - though not as bad as some. Sweet corn and grain.

Richmond Gathering. Very light clear yellow, white head. No aroma. Really, absolutely none. Light flavor of formaldehyde and corn. Not good. Was almost as effective a palate cleanser as water though...

No aroma. Clear yellow, medum sudsy head, good lacing. Watery, grainy. Kind of like corn flakes.

Thanks Dan... Clear light pale yellow with ample white head. Not offensive, no real aroma. Corny water flavor. Extremely light.

12 oz. can from Tmoney99. Pours a clear light yellow color with a large white head. The aroma is sweet grains and corn. The flavor is pale grainy malt. Light and watery. I don’t think there is anything bad here. It is lacking the things I want to taste in my beer.

12 oz. can. Straw golden pour with medium Styrofoam white head. Light aroma of corn and mild sweetness. Flavor is extremely watery, almost like a corn flavored seltzer. Fizzy carbonation. Not offensive, but not good either.

Can. Poured clear amber color with a large frothy white head that was mostly lasting with good lacing. Light to moderate balanced malt and hop aroma. Light to medium body with a smooth texture and soft carbonation. Light to medium balanced flavor with a light sweet finish of short to moderate duration. Worth trying once.
