2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
Surprisingly malty aroma with light grain and grassy hops. Malty start (for style, it ain’t doppelbock). Mouthfeel gets a bit of a slick corn oil feel, which really is tough to swallow and could be offset with some hop bitterness, should they choose to add some. Notably lacking in hop character, just pale malts and corn grits. And lots of sky blue water.

UPDATED: AUG 9, 2008 The can used to read "It’s the water." It should have read "It IS water." I would take an ice cold glass of chlorinated water over this stuff... well, maybe not. I WOULD have to give the decision some thought, though.

Can. Brewed from barley malt and grain. Wheat? Kind of a warm grainy aroma. No hop to my nose. Golden color with a fizzy white head that ran out quickly. Rather watery and grainy? Like wheat? Not corn. Virtually no hop. Finish is weakly sweet, with an illusion of bitter. Must have been better when it had a brewery of its own.

1.6 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 7/20
Can from Belmont Beverage. Pours clear pale color with an average frothy white head that diminished quickly with minimal lacing. Moderate sweet grainy aroma. Medium body and soft carbonation. Light to medium sweet flavor with a light sweet finish of short duration. I would not recommend this beer to a freind.

Thank you dad for having some of these cold when I was over and my beer was still warm. Clear yellow, ho head. Faint spoiled lager aroma. Thin, watery, and overcarbonated. Milky-lemon taste of corn. This stuff gives me a headache by drinking just one.
1.9 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Can. Very light gold with a very small and quick to fade white head. Aromas of adjuncts and some vegetables. No real malts, hops or much of anything. Flavors of corn, starchy, sweet, watery. No hops, no bitterness. Watery, good palate cleanser.

If they used to trade this to the Spaniards for spices, then I'd say the Spaniards got a raw deal. Move along, people, nothing to see here.
