Clear straw color with small ring of white head. Sweet light malt and some fruit and yeastiness along with the carbonic stench. Crisp, aggressive carbonation, but doesn’t sting the tongue too much. Medium bodied feel for macro lager. This must be a pretty fresh sample as there is no skunk or cruddy off-al-ness which I usually associate with the name. Actually, there is not much flavor here at all, good or bad. The sweetness from the nose seems even to be lacking in the taste. Pretty much a generic light "beer" flavor with some metallic notes. Pretty drinkable for what its worth, whatever that means. Still not gonna buy it.

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!
