Great beer for the buck. I mean a 30 pack for15 bucks? Cant beat it. I can drink it with food or alone and it is not bitter like a lot of low cost beers

Fizzy head, thought I was pouring a Mt. Dew. A little stinky but a nice light malt flavor and a crisp yet bitter finish. Very drinkable.

Bottle Well, this certainly matches the style description: Mild and pale, low hop flavor and aroma. Yellow body with a one-finger white head that disappears. The aroma is lightly malty and very, very lightly hoppy — grain and some flowers, kind of. The flavor is lightly to moderately sweet. The finish is lightly bitter, kind of. Light body with a watery texture and fizzy carbonation. Pretty non-descript, though it is smooth and sweet.

spikester (602) - Salem, Oregon, USA - MAY 14, 2008
Nice smooth well made lawnmower beer. A little more character than MGD but not much. An easy drinking good looking macro-style beer. Brewed to please the masses. Paid $1.55 US which is about 50 cents too much.

Bottle: Vert smooth light taste. Very little aroma. A great drinkable old time classic. A great thirst quencher.

A bit of a musky aroma. Very golden in color with a thick head that dissapated quickly. I’m actually suprised, it has a sweet creamy taste to it. Virtually no hops taste or aroma, more like a creamy soda water. A bit too smooth for my taste but it’s drinkable. I wouldn’t pass this up if it was offered to me. Not a bad beer, but lacks complexity.

SpudClampDawg (1029) - Jasper, Indiana, USA - MAY 4, 2008
12 oz bottle: Clear honey pour with little head to speak of. Soft notes of corn and caramel rise from the glass. The body isn’t much different - offering fresh bread, sweet caramel and a touch of grassy bitterness. I guess this is a nice drinker and doesn’t offend, but this style is so blah. The yeast contributes nothing and there is no hop presence. This is like a kolsch minus the subtle nuiances that make them great.

kidmartinek (1757) - austin, Texas, USA - MAY 2, 2008
A brilliant straw color, that pours clean with a small amount of foam developing at the end of the pour and settling down quickly to no head. Moderate active bubbling. Aroma of skunky maly and some hop bitterness. Flavor is slightly sweet, full flavor malt, and little creamy and sugary. Maybe a little bit of corn malt and syrup. Mouthfeel is a little spritzy and carbonated. Finish is medium/heavy. A decent plain ale as far as Ale’s ales are concerned.
