Very Frothy white thick head, quickly settles, decent beer if you are looking to drink one maybe two; this beer is a heavy beer since its cream ale, Don’t make the mistake i made by drinking 6 of these (it is a filler)

3rd and final installment in western ny cheap beer tour. Same yellow fizz appearance as previous two. More corn with a slight crackeryness in the nose, do I sense a bit of flower in nose? Taste follows with balance. Medium bodied more so than the others.

light golden with medium head. flavor of grass and some corn. unremarkable, but it’s not bad for the low cost..

...better than you’d expect for under $8 a 12 pack. Light yellow, has pretty high carbonation as well. Goes down smooth, has slight hop notes, and cereal, dry, grains. Corn, and you know, the basic american ale. Better than busch, natty, or coors.

Poured from a 24oz can into a pint glass. Big, foamy white head that quickly dissipates. Smell is light with hints of corn. Color is pale yellow. Taste is clean, slightly sweet, and has a slight hop bitterness. Overall not a bad beer for what it is. Cost $1.09 for a 24oz can. In my opinion, has more flavor than a Budweiser or a Coors light. Would drink it again, but not everyday.

Very clear, pale gold. Small white head, aroma of cream soda. Fairly sweet on the tongue with pretty lively carbonation. Slightly dry in the finish. Quaffer for a hot day.

Pours a clear gold with lots of effervesence and topped by a thin white head. Aroma is lightly of malt. Nice and creamy on the mouthfeel, the taste is light and muted, a typical pilser flavor, light malt and a tinch of hops. A good beer in its class but not outstanding. Pairs well with pretzels at a ballgame.

Shared by turdferguson. Soft straw yellow pour with a thin fizzy head. Soft bready nose with notes of hay and fresh cut grass. Watery/bready flavor, light sweetness and zero bitterness. Its a beer, thats about all I Can say.

Old School looking grenade style bottle from Sam’s. Pours a lightly hazy golden with a light ring of white lace. Nose is lightly sweet, notes of pepper, grain, cedar. Flavor is lightly fruity, corn, grain. Medium sweetness, light bitterness. Not as bad as some of the ratings suggest.

A very light gold color with low carbonation. Hardly any hop or malty aroma detected. Taste is light and clean.

Originally reviewed: 10/8/10. 12oz bottle picked up in a mixed sixer from Total Wine. Poured into a pint glass. Pours a super clear pale gold with a small white head on top. Wisps of lace stick behind. Scents of butter, apples, and honey. Pretty mellow. Mouth is a little on the thin side, but for the style and brewer, I guess that’s not all that surprising. Mild carbonation. Pretty sweet cream ale. Starts out with a bit of honey, pale fruits, and grains. Low bitterness. Not a bad beer to be had at cookouts or campouts, or even some tailgating. Refreshing, simple beer.
