Well, this is a corn bomb. No smell and no lacing at all. Tastes like corn. Bad pislner that reminds m of PBR.. would be OK at PBR draft prices but $5.....not good at all.

Sampled on draught, pours a light pale yellow colour with no head. Aroma is grainy, eerily reminiscent to Bud. Grassy, malty notes on the palate. Finishes a little rough.

On tap at Granite City in Orland Park. Pours pale golden with white head. Aroma is grassy with notes of corn. Flavor is watered down with hints of corn and sweet malt. Your typical brew for the masses who drink Bud and Miller products.

Pale yellow with a thin white head. Aroma of light corn, light sweet malts, another micro re-making an American macro, ugh. Taste is watery, thin, corny and finishes astringent.
