elch... where to begin. A somewhat standard pale lager aroma. Fizzy and yellow with a thin head. The taste is overwhelmingly sour and unpleasant. Corn malt at its worst. I got this one for only 50 cents at the dollar store, so I guess I can’t really complain. You get what you pay for.

From the can. This was not tasty, not decent and not good. No bitterness, wasn’t very clean tasting and it was fizzy. I don’t understand why these watered down beers exist, especially when they’re offensive. Meh.

Picked up a single 12-oz bottle at Festival Foods in LaCrosse, Wisconsin. Pours a clear, light straw blonde brew with a fast dissolving white head that dissipates clean with a thin ring. Aroma of light multi-grain malt, grassy hops and a touch of vegetables. Taste is very light bodied, well-carbonated with hardly no flavor except a thin malt and grassy hop taste. Finish is clean cut, crisp and no bitterness. Just your average run of the mill light, watered down beer.

Ive got a dirty thirty of this and i have no idea why. Oh well here goes the first of 30. kinda tastes like water with a hint of bud light. Its not skunked or horrible tasting though.
