At $7.50 for a six pack, this is almost priced within the realm of reason for swill. It’s even a cut above swill, though not a large cut. The colour is a slightly bilious yellow...kind of glowing. The aroma is comprised of creamed corn and wonderbread. The flavour is sweet, with vague bread notes and a hint of cider. Not so much in the way of malt nor hops. Kind of watery. Hmmm...yeah, not my thing.

Mild sweet corn bread aroma. Brilliantly clear golden body is topped by a low white head that recedes to a thin partial cover. Very sweet with plenty of corn character and a hint of grassy hops. Light body with watery texture and unpleasantly sharp carbonation. Tulip glass. Fridge temperature. Can (BCLS at Hellsgate, Dec-07).

(Can) Pours a large, frothy, white head with a highly carbonated deep yellow body. Nose of corn and milk. Flavour is sharp and cirtus upfront but turns into a disagreeable lactic corn malt finish. Yikes.

Colourful cans. $7/6-pack. Foamy start thins out to a lite sticky film. Extra point for the nice cans balances the plain gold beer. Off vegetable aroma. The other two weren’t bad but this is gasoline and vegetables. Are they making beer or ethanol? Each sip is worse.
