UPDATED: JAN 18, 2008 Perhaps the worst beer I have ever tasted in my life. Beer is not supposed to be low carb and only a select few light beers are even worth drinking while not at a party scene. I know my crappy beer and yes, I buy it for parties, but I refuse to buy this one anymore or else I will notice there being less and less people wanting to be my friend.

Thanks to my cousin Derek for getting me a can. The tab on top of the blue can is red, something I have not seen before. Pale yellow body with a white head. Bologna and super glue dominate the aroma. The taste is absolutely revolting with Elmer’s glue and rotting potatoes. The finish is like tasting cold scrambled eggs, yum. Oh wow, this is incredibly atrocious.

One of the worst beers ever. You cannot even give this beer away. If you take it a party it will sit in the fridge unmolested for all eternity.

Bubbles like a champagne - maybe this is the true "Champagne of Beers"?! Mild flavor, a little watery, but very refreshing cold, after a workout, fishing on a hot lake, or in a hot ice house.....overall good low-carb beer.

tastes like melted ice in a glass that used to have beer in it but at $10/case you can’t beat that! i am curious what the alcohol content is on this stuff?

To call this beer "yellow" would be an overstatement. It’s closer to a light ginger ale hue, with a fast, white head. Cardboard aroma with corn and light (EVER so light) grainy malts. Possible vinous notes. Label lists the calories, carbs, protien and fat... but not the alcohol content. Odd.

My wife and I went through a six-pack of this like it was water, and that’s pretty much the impression it left: mineral water. Inoffensive, which is a compliment to both a Low Carb and a Gluek beer.

Can. Chlorine, jacuzzi aroma. Pale gold with some visible carbonation; no head. Of all the light beers I have had, this one tastes as close to water as any. I can’t say it has bad flavor, because you need some flavor to be bad. Really bland, innocous stuff. I pass Venom with this rating.

UPDATED: JUL 12, 2005 It’s hard to say anything negative about this drink, since it’s more like the memory of a beer than it is the real thing. Even the color, pale almost to the point of water clearness, only suggests that a lager was near. There’s a faint whiff of malt and corn, a suggestions of hops... there’s really nothing here to talk about.

Light straw color,small white head that faded quickly leaving nothing behind.The aroma was faint malt with maybe some corn and faint hops at best.The flavor comes off the same as the aroma just light all around and damn near a carbonated water product with just a hint of flavor to throw you off.I guess on a hot day it would be a thirst quencher but if your looking for something with flavor,keep shopping.

Can. Ice cold from a cooler. While I was already substantially intoxicated when I drank this beer, I was still able to enjoy its nuances. NOT! Had very little aroma, what there was wasn’t very beerlike. Very watery with a slight vanilla and Elmers glue quality to it. Went down very easy, however. At $8 a case, a good beer to drink after you don’t give a crap what you are drinking.
