Pours a fizzy pale yellow, yes that fizzy pale yellow with lots of sparkling carbonation and a fizzy white head. Aroma is water and corn. Flavor is water, corn, touch of hop bitterness in the finish. Easy to drink, and really not that awful. It just tastes like fizzy seltzer corn water. Boring.

Drank some of this last night to celebrate MLK day. Pretty awful. Sweet and skunky at the same time. Somewhat offensive aroma of boiled cabbage and dirty foot funk. Nothing I would willingly drink again.

UPDATED: FEB 10, 2012 I can drink Bud, but this beer does not have much aroma or taste. I do not think I will hve again.

Poured from can into shaker glass. Poured a pale yellow color with a full head and lots of carbonation. Smells of corn. Taste is light with almost no beer taste. If I had to chose between this and Bud Light or Bud Select I would pick this only because the alcohol content is closer to a real beer.

Not a very good aroma. Frothy, white head. Fair lacing. Mostly diminishing longevity. Clear, light yellow body. Light bitter flavor. Light to medium palate.

seymour (604) - Saint Louis, Missouri, USA - NOV 17, 2011
Tasted a little from tall-boy can into a pint glass before pouring the rest into a pot of soup. I’d say the latter is a better use of this beer, I’ll confess it wasn’t as nasty as I expected. Overall impression typical of mass-market light lagers. Heavy adjunct aroma and flavor, sharp metallic carbonation, but the crisp lager finish dries away most off-tastes. I kinda wonder if this would be an interesting beer with a little caramel malt and more late hops.

The carbonation in this disturbed me greatly. It was almost like a soda. Little to no smell, and the taste was like a budweiser, but more distinct.

40 oz bottle. Fizzy golden color, slightly dark for a pale lager style. Nondescript corn aroma. Taste has a fair bit of sweet corn and grain, but far less offputting than many 40s. Typical Bud product sharp carbonation in the finish.

UPDATED: FEB 7, 2012 Bottle. Yellow colour with a white head. Nothing at all. No taste, no aroma....
