My ratings are based on the style. After reading most of the ratings, I believe there are a lot of stupid reviewers. If this is the worst beer you you have ever had you need to quit drinking cause you dont know anything. Cant beat the price. Tastes like G. Heilemans Old Style. Im a fan. perfect for slamming beer bongs and for the game. Great for cooking. Put your brats in a bath of Big Flats before the grill.

Can from a Walgreens. Pours gold with a foamy white head. Bready aroma. Med body, almost. Flavor is lightly bready with not much hop at all. The light version seems more hop flavorful, though this has more malt character. As ever, the question is why. It must be for the alcohol.

I can hardly believe all the insults. I bought my first 6-pack of Big Flats probably a year ago or more. I am VERY impressed with the nice balanced flavor of this beer. Nothing remarkable about this beer except for one major thing - there is absolutely nothing to complain about. It is not too bitter, not watery, not hard to drink, not "skunky" smelling like someone had complained about. I like it as much or better than any regular priced beer I have had in my whole life, and I am 59 years old. I have tried a few.

Not bad, $2.99 a sixer can’t go wrong. Alot easer to drink than some of those trendy $8 and $9 six pack beers. This is a good beer to take fishing, camping or if doing shooters as a chaser! Over all in a child mug or glass it’s good to go! Better than BUD!!

Reading some comments are funny, what the hell do you expect from a $3.00 six pack. Haha.

~Sweet sugary corn aroma with mild maltiness. ~Pours clear golden with quickly disappearing white head. ~Sweet corn like flavor with bready malts. Little to no hop flavor. ~medium light bodied with medium high CO2, sweet quick bready finish. ~For the style its really not a bad brew. This is one of the better Pale Lagers that I have had.

This beer finishes with a really strange grape flavor that is overwhelming especially for a bargain beer that is meant to be drank in large quantities. Still better than bud light though.

Have been drinking this off and on since introduced by my employer, Walgreens, as a house brand. Bargain basement price. Early purchases had metallic taste until you started on can #2 - recent purchases much more pleasant. Now quite comparable to Budweiser in taste and alcohol - more flavor than "light" beers. I’m no beer snob - I prefer American adjunct beers, so this brew will satisfy if you want a light, flavorful session beer (as long as it’s reasonably fresh).

Not a very great beer, but at the price, I expected no less. Still seems better than most bargain-basement beers. Would take a lot of these to get me crooked, but that wasn’t my intention.
