One of the most prestigious Pale Lagers out thereaccording to RB (and the cheapest to boot). Got a six pack of cans for 3.25. Golden body with tall white head that held descently well and left some lace. Smells of pale malt and a hint of herbal hops. Flavor is very clean: pale malt with some herbal hops too. Medium body with medium low carbonation. Glad it isn’t overly carbonated like most PLs. Overall: very sessionable and smooth and inoffensive. This is pretty much the same rating as my rating for Burger Light, this one is juts a slight bit better. Both very clean and smooth.

Can from a friend. Some good malts and a helluva lot better to drink than keystone or natti or anything else that piss poor. Plus it’s fun to say.

Light sweet aroma. Light golden with a thin whispy head. Some grass. Barley malt and grass. Don’t get much adjuncts, its nice and clean.A little lemon in finish. If this was my local pale lager I would drink the hell out of it.

12 oz can. thanks, suzygreenberg! pours crystal clear pale gold. very light white head. sweet grassy nose. light watery body. a little bit of grass and perfumey flavors on the mid. very subdued.

79 cent single can. Can’t beat that! Pours a light clear yellow. A bone white fizzy head is produced though it doesn’t stick around long. It never completely goes away though so that’s good. Aroma is surprisingly pleasant clean pilsner malt. Malty with no astringency. Hops are nowhere to be found. Really not bad though. Flavor is super clean, almost nothingness. Ridiculously easy to drink. Really no flavor to speak of, though in a different way than a BMC product as this has absolutely nothing negative about it either. Let’s be honest here, this isn’t really good, but for its style and 79 cents a can I am not upset.

Can pours to a crystal clear light amber with a quickly dissipating, fluffy white head. Nose is...dish soap? I drank a beer out of this glass a few minutes ago and didn’t smell that. We’ll call it 6-row soap malt. No hop presence in the nose. It actually has a flavor! I was expecting a another PBR. It is very malty sweet with just enough hops to make it work. This would be a decent stepping stone for BMC drinkers to try something new without scaring them away. It isn’t spectacular by any means, but when the bar is set so low for blue cans, something with more than yellow fizz can be downright shocking. Can’t beat the price, either. 12 cans at $6 ain’t too shabby.

Can from shigadeyo. Poured clear pale color with a medium frothy white head that was mostly lasting with good lacing. Moderate sweet grainy aroma. Medium body with a smooth texture and soft carbonation. Medium sweet flavor with a medium sweet finish of moderate duration. My expectations where met with an above average return.

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.
