’ll go ahead and say it something is very nice about this beer. Pours out a nice golden with a fuzzy white head. Aroma is light of wheat and a touch of hops with a slight cereal smell. Taste is smooth of hay and english muffins. Finishes with a slight bitterness to finish. My favorite of the macro beers.

Clear yellow with a thin white head. Not a lot of flavor, but I’ve had worse.

Another of the standard American lagers. A little less flavor than Budweiser, but also tastes a little cleaner. Pours very light and leaves very little lacing. It needs a little more bitterness to make it refreshing. Very generic.

If I had to choose one cheap, mass produced, American lager I would probably choose Coors Original. It’s not good, but it’s not great either.

same as the light, stock standard mass produced, quite sugary. avoid unless free

On tap as one of the samples at the brewery tour in Golden. I figured if I wanted to give this beer a fair chance, the best I’d find it is fresh at the source. Extremely clear pale gold in the glass with a 1" white head. The nose is corny and lightly sweet - there’s actually a small peach note, which is interesting. The flavor starts lightly sweet, then moves right into a big pile of corn. I noticed a veeeeeery mild bitterness at the finish. It’s served overcarbonated, of course, almost like it’s a soda. Really not very impressive, even right from the source.

bottle. Pours crystal clear gold yellow with fizzy white head, starts off decent sized and fades to nothing quickly. Aroma of sweet corn starch, slight bubblegum. Taste is corn malt characterized by mild hops. Pretty watery. Overall I have to say, one of the better american macros. Still a pretty bad beer, but it doesn’t have the nasty old sock smell / flavor that budweiser products have; as a matter of fact, although it’s very bland there are no outright bad flavors. Good swill for chugging on the cheap.

UPDATED: JAN 14, 2012 This really is one of the American macros I will buy occasionally. Has noticeable hop and malt aroma. Full body by comparison to other pale lagers. I’ve always like this a little.
