Delightfully cheap, only ten dollars a case, this light beer has a deep yellowish gold hue with minimal head when poured. The first 6 are hard to stomach until you aquire a taste for BigCity. I would only buy this beer if you are financially strained.

This beer was pretty terrible. Tasted watery just like any other light beer. THis however didn’t offend anyone by the taste because there was no taste. Basically carbonated water and alcohol. Won’t buy again.

Had this beer on 6/6/2007. Aroma is a light corn like scent. Color is a bright gold with low carbonation and a thin head. Taste is malty and sweet. Starting with a light body it goes down easy and clean. Finish comes in with a sweet malt flavor and ends with a wine like flavor that is a bit sour. Its just lacking everywhere.

Nearly no aroma, yellow, clear, no head. Moderate, creamy mouth feel. Pleasant light hop flavor with a sweet aftertaste.
