My dad bought this all the time because he found out I hated it and gave me a headache. I never touched it after my first beer. This the worst beer ever. Black Label is better and that sucks too.

Can… Clear, light yellow lager with a small, fizzy, white head. The aroma is of piss, light pepper and a touch of skunky hops. Light to medium-bodied with tingly carbonation. Canned corn sweetness and very low bitterness. Thin and watery. No real balance. Watery, sweet corn finish.

Bottle, thanks to akevitt for sharing. Pours a very light pale yellow body with a thin white head. Light aroma of malt and not much else. Flavor is the same with a light corn sweetness. Light on the palate and very drinkable.

Great old school American beer made with the original recipe. Good sweet and lightly sour flavor.

Pale color. Straw gold color with a corn & grain aroma and flavor. A little metallic on the finish.

[Bottle, thanks Akevitt] Pours very pale gold with a small white head. Aroma isn’t offensive, but virtually nothing there. Taste is very sweet with the malt and corn described before melding into something that really did not work for me at all. This was a drain-pour for me and had very little that I found appealing about it. Pretty awful.

An ancient looking bottle produced by Akevitt. Clear yellow color with a medium head. Smells and tastes like sweet corn, very cleanly brewed. Very much like Grain Belt Premium. Honestly, as just a tip-it-back beer, it’s not bad at all.

An ordinary pale lager, clear gold color. Simple corn/malt flavor. Not offensive in any way and very drinkable.
