A: The beer pours a clear, pale yellow color with a white head on top. S: Absolutely dominated by corn. More than anything, this smells like corn flakes. Plenty of table sugar aroma to it as well as some light fruity esters and yeast. T: Like the nose, there’s a heavy corn presence. More corn flakes and sweet, sugary flavors with a hint of garbage. Light bread and malt flavor is also present. M: Light in body with a medium level of carbonation. O: It doesn’t exactly live up to the "coolest beer in town" billing on the label, but it could have been worse.

12 ounce bottle purchased at American SPirits in St. Pete. Corny, vegetal aroma. Light grassiness and spiciness. Blegh. BOiled cabbage. Transparent golden-yellow with a smallish white head. Fruity, corny, corn pops cereal flavors dominate to start. Light spiciness later. All I can say is that this is the beer version of Corn Pops cereal. Seriously.

12oz. bottle pours clear gold with thin white head. The aroma is sweet with corn as well as grainy malts to go along with a hint of spicy hops, earthy hops and faint floral. The taste is pretty fresh with corn and grains followed by some sugary sweetness, a dash of spicy hops and then fresh grainy cereal. This thankfully does not head into syrupy over sweetness, floral and skunk like the vast majority of the brews contained within this style. I can see this being a tasty treat during hot Florida weather (about 9 months a year).

On draft at Oldsmar Tap House. Pours a clear gold with a creamy white head. Nose is light malt, corn sweetness, and a hop or three. Flavor is a crisp light lager- sweetness with a hop or two and a hint of lager. Crisp, light-bodied and ok overall.

Bottle. Pours your run of the mill golden lager color with a decent white head. Fair amount of carbonation. Aromas of malt, corn, and bread to the nose. A slightly creamy finish, but still tingly due to the carbonation. Light bodied. Nothing special.

Comes across like a shandy, lemon. Weird label on this bottle. Aroma is slag and gramma’s old hair tonic. Looks like a pale lager. First taste is interesting and almost pleasing. Lemony at times. No detectable bitterness. Decent amounts of CO2. Almost has a carbonated lemonade feel about it. Seems a little artificial at times. Not sure if this could be sessionable but glad to have had the chance to try it.

Bottle. Pours gold with a white head. Sweet grainy aroma with some corny-ish notes. The flavor is corny sweet with grainy notes. Meh.

12oz bottle-pours yellow with a white head. Aroma is grain/corn-bready, maybe lime. Taste is grain/corn-bready, maybe lime/hint of grassy bittering hops. Lawnmower comes to mind.

Bottle thanks to Jcwattsrugger. Pours pale gold. Nose and taste of corn, barley, water and malts.
