Reminded me of if you crossed a german kolsch and a US macro brew but sweeter and creamier. Not great but not bad. The adjuncts is what is it’s undoing. Serving: Can

12 ounce bottle. Pours a pale gold with an average white head. Aroma of grain, malt and just a bit of hops. Taste is sweet malt with a bit of citrus. Not bad. Better than a lot of macro brews.

bottle. Pours a pale gold with a white head. Nose is of grain. Taste is sweet malt. Mouthfeel is medium-thin and lively carbonation. Got better as it warmed. Not bad.

Obviously light creamy sweetness and not much else. For the price, not bad but not if I have the money.

KNOFAC (14) - Pennsylvania, USA - JAN 30, 2011
12oz. can. Pours pale golden with a frothy, almost volcanic head). The aroma is pretty much nothing, maybe a little metallic. The taste is bland; maybe there’s a little sweetness, a little grassiness. It goes down easily, and is admittedly refreshing. No hop character to speak of, but that’s expected. Honestly, this beer is the epitome of average. Not offensive at all, but nothing remarkable either. Except for the price, of course. This is about the same price as crap like Natty or Keystone, but 100x less offensive.

Clear pale gold beer. Like a softer lager. Sweet and as the title describes - almost creamy malt. No discernable hop. Drinkable but lacking in many areas!

24 oz can: Aroma is lightly corny, sweet, a bit of cardboard, malt, grainy, and some definite hop characteristics. Appearance is a clear golden with a white head that lingers. Flavor is somewhat creamy, but not really pleasing at all. Palate has a cream soda like after taste which isn’t that bad. Overall, This is truly the cream soda of beers. I thought that would better than this but it’s not. Cheers!

Tsotsi (178) - Florida, USA - JAN 12, 2011
24oz can. Pours golden color with a white head that fizzes away quickly. Nose is sweet malts, slightest hops and corn. Flavor is sweet malts, crisp, and sweetness continues in the finish. Slight creamy texture to it as well. Not too bad considering the price.
