UPDATED: DEC 6, 2008 [12 oz. can] Clear yellow pour with a fizzy white head. Slightly bitter aroma of corn and grains and a touch of hops. Slightly bitter and metallic taste. Mostly corn and grains. Surprisingly refreshing. All in all, not as bad as it could be.

After the Saigon we tried, this actually seemed ok. Light corn aroma on a yellow body. Bland, but inoffensive taste - no hops, but a crispy mouthfeel that I suppose would go down quite easy if you drank enough of them. Bland macro lager for sure, but slightly better than expected.

Very pale yellow, decent white head. Macro slighty grassy aroma. Bland, slightly sweet malt. Boring. Light body that is surprisingly smooth. Not painful.

pkbites (478) - Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA - MAY 31, 2004
Had a six-pack (about $3.50) while on vacation in New York, May 2004. Can. Malty, but dismal flavor. Little taste. What good is malty if it has watery taste? There are too many beers that are better than this that cost the same or less. I won’t try this again.

VTHopHead (1335) - Barre, Vermont, USA - MAY 30, 2004
Bottle - a blast from my past. A cheap beer and it shows/tastes like it. Flavor is somewhat malty, but not strongly so. Strong aftertaste, not pleasant.

Crockett (916) - Steelback County, Ontario, CANADA - APR 16, 2004
Pale gold with a medium sized frothy white head. Some lacing. Sweet perfumey aroma. Flavour is dull and weighted towards cheap malts. Cheap macro inside and out.
