1.3 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20
12oz bottle courtesy of DuffManSW. Pale gold appearence, if that’s a color, but that’s what I get out of it. Kind of smells like that sweet hawaiian bread, very bready. Not a whole lot of flavor going on here, slight citrus zing, but not much else, very bland and boring. (971)

Tap at Taco Mac. I think I figured the chemical formula for this. Combine one part shit with two parts horse piss and bingo! Grainy and nasty. Forgetaboutit!
1 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 3/20
Had this at a bar in Atlanta, the problem with that evening was I can’t really remember the bar, but I remember the beer. This reminded me of Skol Beats. It was a little sweet if you ask me, along the line of Corona sweet. I can’t really explain it. Very light; too light, actually. Had this out of the bottle, so in terms of appearance, I was having to look through the bottle. As said, I believe this to be about as close to Skol Beats as possible. Has that urine, almost bright yellow appearance. Nothing special here. Not horribly watery, but not a great palate either. I was intrigued by the name, and then quickly saw that it just wasn’t anything special. Now if I could only remember the name of that bar/club....?
1.5 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 6/20
12 ounce bottle from Trader Joe’s in Richmond, VA. Pours a pale straw color with a thin wispy head of no consquence. Aroma is light grain and nothingness. Taste is grain, straw and nothingness. Thin, watery and absolutely inoffensive. Damn.
1.9 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Thanks to Maniac who corrupted me with good beer and then got this. Clear bottle from Trader Joes. Yellow with a foamy white head. Aroma was skunk and metallic. Flavor was inoffensive. It’s mildly beer flavored tap water.
1.3 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20
Bottle from Trader Joes - Short Pump on 04/11/2009. Very clear pale yellow body with a medium frothy white head. Skunky aroma with light honey and grain. Sweet cheerios and corn flavor with light grassy hops. Medium light body with moderate carbonation.
2 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Clear bottle from Trader Joe’s. Sweet corny nose, golden pour, light malty taste with more corn and faint dryness after a cloying start. Strong carb at first but tails off to complete flatness. Aftertaste isn’t too bad. Medium-light body. On the whole, can’t kill this unbalanced, inoffensive lawnmower brew, just wouldn’t go for a sixer.
2.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Bottled. Poured clear, bright golden with a short cap of synthetic white head and some rising carbonation. The aroma picked up sweet pale malts and corny notes with little else evident.. weak, but non-offensive. The flavor had a pale malt and faint cardboard core with more aggressive corn syrup and light scratchy bitterness on the edges.. finished short and sweet. Light-bodied and dry on the palate with little substance.. quite drinkable, but not much going on.
