Head is initially small, fizzy, white, mostly diminishing. Body is clear medium yellow. Aroma is lightly malty (grain, cereal, bread), with a light note of DMS. Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly acidic. Finish is lightly sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter, unclean. Light to medium body, watery texture, fizzy carbonation. Sugar water for your daughter.

Bottle. Sour corn/barley malt aroma. Pale yellow color with large head. Lightly sweet corn and barley malt flavor. Light hint of hops in the finish. Guess it was worth $7.99 for a 12 pack.

Can (12oz). Poured bubbly pale gold, big white fizzy head, some scummy lacing left behind. Aroma is metallic-vegetal, some sugar - nasty if you let it warm up. Taste is grassy and brackish, but mostly not much taste at all - no aftertaste either. Thin and flat mouthfeel. I guess you could pound twelve of these and torch a bunch of mailboxes, but I’d rather just avoid it completely.

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.

[116-20061126] 355mL. Grainy bready with light straw aroma. Clear, deep golden yellow body with a few tiny centralized bubbles and a quick thickly foamy white head. Tastes like slightly rotting grapes. Light body with a crisp feel. Not repeatable, has a very poor togetherness.

This bottled brew from a bottle shop poured a extremely small sized head of frothy bubbles that were quickly diminishing and left behind a transparent softly carbonated orange colored body. The aroma was non-existent. The crisp and clean mouth feel was weakly tingly at the start and at the finish. The thin flavor contained notes of malt mild hops and corn. A horrible one that I would rather not drink again.

Overall, bland, but not necessarily bad. Slight malty aroma, but leaning more towards wet cardboard. Very thin head on a light yellow pour. Flavor is quite bland, neither hops nor malt is very evident. Does not have that chemically feel to it that the big macros have though - must be the corn grits as the commercial description states! Has a bit of a metallic aftertaste. Would be a decent thirst quencher for lawn mowing purposes. Overall, nothing offending here - had worse.

Another standard pale lager that doesn’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings. Fine, nothing wrong with it, nothing spactacular, either.

Bottle. Pours gold with a white head. Aroma of malt and grain. Light body. Flavor is lightly sweet malt.
