skunky and smells like corn with a hint of malt....hardly any bitter flavors to balance out the sweet malt/corn flavor....it needs the lime to cover up the gross flavor

The only reason I gave this a 2 overall, is because it is pretty good on a hot day. But by any measure, this is a macrobrewed garbage beer. It’s a very pale yellow, with bleached white head. It’s very skunky, and I’m not sure why it’s typical to add a lime garnish, other than to maybe mask the flavor a bit. Cheers!

Bottle. aroma is grainy and sweet, the head is white with a light yellow sparkling body. The flavor is bitter and a little acetic i think. Not that great but if i was to rate it with a lemon or lime it would probably be a 2.5

Almost bright yellow, a little chill haze, and a spot of fizzy white head that doesn’t last at all. Husky with a touch of corn sweetness. A bit of a sulfur aroma without being skunked to high hell. A bit of tinniness. Thin, and lacking much for substance. Graininess and a bittersweet - almost sour finish; rather astringent. Pretty unpleasant. Prickly and slick... but with enough body to leave a bit of a residue behind. In this case, it’s not a particularly good thing. There are far better lawnmower beers for better prices. Not a very good beer, and not something to allow to warm even in the slightest!
