draft - Blech. Seriously, this one is crap. Don’t bother with it. It’s yet another fizzy, yellow, watery, mostly tasteless beer. In my opinion it’s even worse than the Bud it’s imitating. Sad.

12oz bottle. Clear, light pale yellow color. Nice, bigger white foamy head. Stronger carbonation, dry texture. Basic light lagery taste. Bread, some lemon.. Very light sweet taste. Uninteresting.

For a sessionable beer, it’s good. Better alternative to a MBC. Nothing amazing at all about this beer, but nothing terrible at the same time.

Medium golden clear liquid with a very small head. On tap at the Brewery. Nose faint of adjuncts. Rather thin and a little sweet. Decent enough beer fresh but it is apparent that it would skunk rather easily. Clean and refreshing. little else to report. decent slightly above average pale lager.

Smells and tastes like malt liquor. Pretty bland overall and really nothing special.

Pours a very light color, almost white, with very little head. Slight alcohol aroma. Tastes a little like a cider champaign. Meh.

On tap at the Oliver House part of Maumee Bay on our way to RBSG. Pours a lightly hazed gold with a medium sized white head. Smells a little like doughnuts. Doughy and bready. Sweet, tastes a bit like salad dressing, oily. Medium bodied. Bitter grainy finish.

Part of sampler at brewpub. Pours clear golden with white head. Aromas of cereal grains. Flavor was sweet corn and cereal. Pretty drinkable brew and good substitute for a macro.

I poured it into a pills glass and it produced a good two finger white head that settled to a thick lace across the glass the body was a crystal clear pale yellow in color ( nice looking beer) I got aromas of bready yeast with some light citric hops. While the mouthfeel is light and crisp with great carbonation. The flavor of the brew is pale malts sweetness with a light hop dryness in the end . It is a easy drinking brew a step above BMC. It realy reminded me of a PBR or a Narragansett Serving type: bottle

not so good, tastes like bitter seltzer. Actually, while we were drinking it my buddy and I thought it might just be miller lite with a different label to sell in columbus, OH where there is a budweiser plant...maybe?

Location: 12 oz bottle shared by a friend, 1/15/10

Aroma: Corn, a drop of citrus, I could add other stuff but I’d be fibbing, there’s not much going on with the nose on this one, not that I was surprised, it was too be expected
Appearance: Fizzy yellow water, fizzy white head
Flavor: Taste is water, cereal, corn, and a lot more water
Palate: As watery as it was, I’ll give it a (small) bump becuase it’s clean
Overall Impression: When we were drinking this, someone actually commented that it tasted like Miller Lite with a different label. That’s not a bad description in as much as Miller Lite tastes like water and looks like yellow water. Maybe it seemed worse to me because it was stuck between some really good beers, but this stuff was just not good. From my notes: "Worked as a nice palate cleanser, I wanted some water but was too lazy to stand up and walk to the kitchen, this beer was a perfect substitute." That was apparently the nicest thing I had to say about it. Let’s move along...
