Apr 10, 2008 12 oz. can via trade with Linus_Stick - Pours a clear light golden color with a one finger thick white head. Very light lacing. Aroma is sweet grain and very light herbal hops. Flavor is much of the same. Has an odd aftertaste (metal?). Light to medium body. This beer isn’t as bad as everyone lets on. I would rather drink this than Bud. I like the can too. Thanks Alan.

Apr 4, 2008 I bought this in a 30 pack . . . I saw it and said to myself, "That’s going to be crap . . . but I’ll give it a whirl". Well . . . not far from the truth at $16.50 (or something) for a 30 pack. I have difficulty coming up with one redeeming tidbit for this one. Maybe if they donate money for troop aid or something. Ok, so this beer isn’t good. It is pours a golden hue slightly darker then Budweiser, minimal head (probably artificially carbonated to begin with), the smell is off . . . kind of skunky almost, taste is overly sweet, with a slight after taste of a beer that is flat. No bitterness at all . . . i.e., no hops. I’m keeping one can unopened for prosperity down the line, years from now to look back on. :p

Apr 3, 2008 Via trade with Linus stick.12 oz can. I asked for this one. Pours a pale yellow color with small white head that immediately disappeared-blink and you’ll miss it.. The aroma was difficult to pick out--but there was a light odor of corn and something else sharp with an ammonia-like quality. The flavor was all sweet; there is sugar, saccharine, sweet corn, and rock candy. The brewers must have saved a fortune on hops, there aint none in here. They also saved a bunch on malts, they are similarly lacking. The palate is thin and watery with a gritty mouthfeel, sort of like biting on a piece of tin foil. The finish was thankfully short with a metallic and sweet aftertaste. Overall: I love a bad beer in much the same way I love a really bad movie. The senses are stress tested, and my appreciation for the finer thing in life are more appreciated.

Mar 31, 2008 Heheheh, Linus_Stick turned me on to this one, thanks Al! If you are familiar with the ubiquitous american lagers that City Brewing makes as melanie, you know the flavor of this beer. Smelly sweet corn with hints of sweetness for the olfactory. Rude crude american heartland industrial flavors, metal and all. Tho I respect the attempt at the name, I think I choose to defend myself against the lagers beers of melanie’s genre. This must be a rename of some other melanie beer. I hope this ain’t for the enjoyment of the troops, American lager from Iron City is much more palatable than this. Forget about it. If you’ve tasted Camo, this is just a watered down version of that. I must say however, I do acknowledge the fact that our troops everywhere are fighting for freedom. DO IT!!

does not count  Mar 31, 2008 Shame on you all, this beer tastes like America. Its a known fact that this beer is really James Madison’s piss that has been saved for 2 centuries, fermenting and marinating in American pride. It is now being released to boost patriotism and to help support our troops. GOD BLESS AMERICA.
