Can. Really cheap. Pours clear golden yellow. Average. I enjoyed it.

24 oz.tall boy can from Woodman’s, Oak Creek, WI. Gee, I’m pouring it at my "cellar" temp of 55°, hope that "crisp taste" still comes through. Big foamy pour straight into my glass. Color is very pale, but I can still call it yellow and not without its charms. But even after breathing a while, there’s still a smell of skunk overlaying the usual cheap beer smell. Taste is okay, though, for what it is. I do get some corn after half a glass (and "grits" is really not a word you want in describing your beer, honest as it may be). Still bubbly going down, guess I can’t really slam like I’d like to. Not drinking it ice-cold opens up a little interest.

Overall, pretty crisp and clean, nothing offensive. A faint trace of hops. not bad at all for the price.

Yellow and fizzy. Very bland, somewhat unpleasant aroma. Mild, tasteless. Meh.

24 oz can. Very generic can that is probably liked by people that drink PBR because it is cool. It does not look like the pic on this page. This beer pours a bright clear yellow with a white head. The aroma is sweet corn with a hint of macro skunk. The taste is slightly sweet with a bit of hops. It was not as bad as I expected but then again I was not expecting much.

Well this was pretty much what I thought beer tasted like when I was 14. It brought me back. It was not bad, nor was it incredibly good, but it was 99 cents for a 24oz can which I like. Grainy, some corn, light grass nose and aroma. Cool nondescript can that hipsters would like.

UPDATED: OCT 31, 2010 Pour from a 22 oz can. Light golden yellow iwth a huge head. Aroma of sweet corn, taste is about the same. A little sweet with a bit of sour in the finish is about it. Go for the Creame Ale instead.
