UPDATED: JAN 7, 2004 I can't believe that I finished a whole 40 of this. I know that it is only $2, but come on, this stuff sucks. In a very minor sort of way, it is better than Budcoorsmiller, but not really by enough to raise it to a 0.6. I should get a medal for drinking this. You should stay away at all costs.

Starts out okay. Then you feel ill. Overcarbonated. Very pale yellow. eggs in the nose. I couldn’t stand drinking this regularly, much less a serving of more than a tallboy can.

This is not a good beer but there are worst out there. Has a nice golden color and high alcohol. Has good head retention, high carbonation. I just can’t really stomach this though, I prefer higher gravity beers to be a tad sweeter. It was somewhat famous back in the day among celebs mainly due to lack of choice for high alcohol beer I guess.

Meant for the ’Booze Hound’, not meant for most human consumtion. It does have malts, some hops, a mistake, wish I could say I never had the displeasure.

Skunky smell and taste. Gold color, no head. The taste of alcohol is prominent, ringed with kiwi fruit. Rather nauseating minty rice is left on the palate. Pretty gross.

This poured a cloear yellow color with a white head. Aroma was mainly of grain, corn and apple juice. Flavor was mainly apple juice and grainy cereal. Not good by any means but definitely better than expected.

Can. Clear yellow pour with a big white head. Very mild and watery - almost no flavor or hop character, just straight grain.

Dusty, slightly sour nose; light gold color; foamy head. Thin body, weak taste, but somehow smooth.

I am the gracious recipient of this gift from my new friend, Kevin and that’s why this rating is in here. Shit, now I can fit a bomber of something good in the fridge where this one was taking up space! I haven’t had one of these in at least 35 years dude, send me a Piels Real Draft! Actually it was better than I anticipated. Beautiful pour, tall frothy white head over a brilliantly clear, medium yellow body. I don’t suppose I’ve ever seen one of these poured actually, like into a glass I mean?! Initial aroma is of softly scented rose bath soap. This got real nasty as the level went down in the glass and the beer on the sides of the glass where it could warm though. No real flavor good or bad other than a strange soapiness that mirrored the aroma somewhat. Soapy palate. Innocuous alcohol delivery vehicle. Could be a lot worse, good for what it’s supposed to be I suppose. I’ve had far worse in any case. They should send this to Ghana where it would be appreciated.

From the can at the tin can tavern in St. Louis. Aroma is a very sweet corn syrup. Flavor is heavy and filling. Lots of chemical aftertaste. It was only a $1.50 o.g.
