You can buy 30 packs of this at some stores in Wisc for around $10. It’s a very tasteless watered down, overly malted unbalanced lager with a low ABV, so you probably need the whole 30 pack to catch a buzz. I tried this yesterday at a beer fest, and im glad i didn’t purchase this one.

A pale yellow color with a white head. A slight malty presence with some corn and hay. Thirty pack for $13 I’d kill this shit for real. Very smooth finish. This is impressive for a pale lager

This smelled & tasted like musty well water, rotting eggs and swiss cheese mixed in one of my farm boots.

can. the staple beer of la crosse wisconsin. pale yellow color, no head. crisp and refreshing, though mine was served cold. my older friends say that this is what old style used to taste like back in the 70s before heileman’s went out of business. for my money, better flavor than the flagship miller and budweiser products.
