This was the last beer to try in this curious little ashtray off the strip. I didn’t get the ABV, and I don’t see it listed here, but I half wonder whether this may have been a malt liquor. It came across as harsh and overly sweet with a corn-syrup flavour. Honestly, I lef tthe rest of this pint sitting unfinished by the stout. I’m tired of hearing everyone say "Well you can’t beat it for $1 per pint!". Oh yeah? I’ll sell you a pint of my piss for 50 cents! What a steal!

tap at the brewery/casino - Pours yellow with a thin white head. It has a very faint grainy malt aroma. The flavor is sweet, grainy malt and... what the hell... licorice? A pale lager should not taste like licorice. Were they running Jaegermeister through their lines previously? It’s an odd beer and doesn’t work. $1.50 a pint now.

On tap at the Ellis Island Casino and Brewpub. Poured a clear gold color with a one finger white head. This was worse than the light lager. I didn’t know that was possible. The aroma was grassy, but in that wet, moldy grass kind of way. The flavor was bland and watery.
