Can. Grassy aroma. Light, but it does not smell bad. Sort of better than Bud Light. Clear brassy color. White head was strong, then collapsed. Has a light corn/grass flavor. I think there is some hop bitter at the end, but it also has a wet cardboard aspect. It’s at least a tie for Bud Light. It’s not great. It is a drain pour. But if you have to have this sort of beer, this is probably a good one to have.

You cant be expecting too much from something like this. The taste and smell actually has a white grape juice flavor to it. Everything is too light and flavorless to even earn a rating. Drain pour

The aroma has garbage, (and I mean actual trash) corn syrup, acetate, and alcohol. The appearance actually wowed me, but not in a good way. It is so Pale that it almost looks like the tap water in many cities. It is by far the lightest pale gold of any beer that I have seen to date. The flavor is metallic corn malt and a little alcohol. The palate is watery. Giving this beer a 1 is generous.

Cheapest beer at the store. Tastes pretty bad at first and then leaves a bad taste in your mouth and throat. It smells weird as well. This is the second time I’ve tried it. I don’t think I’ll buy it again.

The can looks like a prop from a '50s movie set. It actually says it is brewed by Old European Brewing Co. - is that run by Donald Rumsfield? Must have been bought out by Gluek. Lifeless pour. Aroma - a bit of sweet maltiness apears for a microsecond - then settles into metallic blandness. Taste and texture of club soda. Overall - very bland and dry. Does not have that signature Gluek twang to it though.

This was actually a relief after the Reibenbach Ice and the Reibenbach Lager. I guess the more dilute the beer is, the better it is. Fizzy, pretty dry and flavorless. Still had that Gluek twang, a bit though. My wife drank it, so after you buy 12 for $3.99 just to sample it, you may pass the remainder off on the unenlightened. Or use it for marinade without spoiling the meat.
