bottle. Pours gold with a small white head. Smells of sweet malts and little else. There is some kinda sweet wheat taste and dust. Fizzy beer.

ChainGangGuy (3682) - Canton, Georgia, USA - MAR 20, 2009
Appearance: Pours a clear, yellow body with a thin, white head. Smell: Mild, sweetish, faintly grainy malts with some soft floral notes. Taste: Meager maltiness with a middling sweetness. Nearly imperceptible hint of vague fruitiness. Thinly floral hops follow, but you get no more than the smallest hint of bitterness. This leaves the imbiber with a sweetish finish. Mouthfeel: Light-bodied. Medium carbonation. Very slight creaminess befitting the name and style. Drinkability: Better than most of its ilk, in that, while it lacked anything to stand up and cheer about, it also lacked any inherent ickiness or ghastly off-flavors.

I liked the taste. It has one of the better heads I’ve seen. This brew was a staple in my late high school and early college days because it was cheap and I lived where it was readily available. I tried it again about ten years ago for nostalgia’s sake and I was pleased to find that it hadn’t changed much.

Cavie (3249) - Fort Worth, Texas, USA - MAR 4, 2009
UPDATED: AUG 31, 2011 Sweet aroma. I liked the taste for the most part. The finish was stronger than I would have expected but I would get it again. 4.0 RE-RATE 8-31-11 Bottle from Central Market. This beer pours a very clear, light golden color with a fizzy white head. It almost touches on straw.

The aroma leaves much to be desired. It is mainly soured grains and malts with some bitter notes and maybe a touch of sweetness.

Flavor matches the aroma almost perfectly, with bitter notes and grains and very little sweetness. This is a beer to pound after a long day of work and then go to bed. Even then….it’s not that good.

Radek Kliber (5171) - Toronto (Can) Krotoszyn (Pol), POLAND - FEB 28, 2009
Bottle 355 ml
Appearance: Pours bright sparkly gold with mid light head. Fizzy middle.
Nose: Light , fresh mineral nose. Slight hint of corn and grain, Dry alcohol ending.
Flavor/Palate : Thin bodied. Soapy bitter hop notes on very thin malt base. Off flavors followed some rough bitterness on top. Very poor creation.

dwaggs2 (1127) - Jefferson City, Missouri, USA - FEB 28, 2009
Bottle. Pours a golden color with a decent white head. Then it goes downhill. Aroma, not a lot here, some malts and bread. Taste is all water, and malts. Very smooth beer. Not getting again.

Ive heard many things about this brew from Uncle Kegbear and let me tell you it lives up to expectation and its $12.99 a 30rack price tag. That being said it’s a pretty damn solid beer Decent aroma and taste. some malt corn/grain taste/. Its definitely poundable. Would buy again
