Rating from previous regular purchases, before true craft beers. Blond color, medium body and minimal head. Sweet grain aroma and taste. Cheap and low alcohol were more important than taste! :-(

Much more head than expected from one of the cheapest beers out there, though this and carbonation dissipates very quickly. Swill-like in color. Aroma is nothing to write home about.. some straw and malt. Palate is interesting.. very smooth and yes, very slightly creamy, but thin. Taste is like a subdued Miller Lite, with a little more body. If malt liquor and miller lite had a child, this would be it.

Pours clear yellow with a large fluffy white head and a floral aroma There is a rather thin pale malt flavor with a dry slightly bitter finish.

on tap. clear pale yellow with a small white head, no retention or lacing. sweet malts, cereals, light herbal hopping, aggressive carbonation, light body. a pain - glad i had few more before this one.

The hype was too high for this one. Sub par (at best) with a bland citrus/hop scent. The mouth feel was the best part, smooth and fruity, dry and almost pleasant. Flavors were too weak and tasted a little metallic even.

Light, but malty with a very smooth finish. Better than many macro brews out there.

Best if served very cold. Fizzy. Only plus is a creaminess. Becomes boring after a few sips. May give you the beer shits.

Not a bad brew but not something I will search out to have again. It is really light and tastes so much like a Corona it’s crazy! For what it is, it is a flavorful thirst quencher. Would be a good brew to have with some spicy hot wings though. Would love to do a blind tasting with this and a Corona and see who can guess correctly!
