12 oz can. Pours light golden yellow with quickly-dissipating head and very little lacing. Almost no aroma. Taste of sour grass, some fruit, peaches?, possibly some hints of almonds. Easy to drink, but not very interesting. Would not buy again.

Wow!!! another new swill. This doesnt really taste good, too much rotten corn flavor in it. The guy that sold it to me said that it was a staple back in the day in cincinatti. Too much corn though, they need to find a way to tone that down.

Pours translucent golden color with a quick dissipating white head. Very faint aroma, but it isn’t bad. Sweet flavor, corn, malt, grain and a hint of sour. It is certainly a step above the regular macro crowd, but I do think it is a little overrated by the Cincinnati faithful.

Burger is back, and got some decent press in Cincinnati during its 2009 re-release. I’m surprised to see this fairly highly rated, but then again its peers are mostly pretty weak. It’s not bad but offers little more than a macro lager. Clear gold pour, average white head. Weak aroma. Corn, light grain and malt. Moderate carbonation. I imagine I’ll start seeing can specials of this at bars around Cincinnati, which would be worth trying instead of overpriced macros.

Can sample at Muckfest 2009 Day 2. Pours clear gold with a thin white head. Malty aroma with lager yeast a bit of hop. Flavor about the same.

12 pack cans for $5.99. Pours pale gold with a decent white head. Boiled corn and weak hop aroma. Corny, grainy, sweet pale malt taste - - some mild hop bitterness. Balanced, refreshing. Used to drink this in SW Ohio nearly 40 years ago. Don’t remember how it tasted then, so can’t compare/contrast.

12 pack cans from Andersons General Store. White bubbly head. Sweet corn yellow in color. Plenty of carbonation. Corn and grains were predominant. Drank them ice cold on a hot July day. Very tasty and quenched my thirst. I liked it better than the standard macro brew alternatives. ie. miller and bud. I’d drink it again.

A typical pale lager that has just slightly more flavor than the big name macros. A little sweeter than most also. Light, drinkable, refreshing? Yeah sure, why not.
