Had this at my brother-in-law’s house, basically all he had. Really just awful. Minimal "beer" flavor and aromas. Specifically for getting drunk only, but so many choices at this level and I could never see myself drinking this again.

So bad it’s good, provides a good cheap buzz... best "enjoyed" (AKA, chugged) chilled... really chilled, not any worse than a "Stella Artois," the pretentious, lower alcohol content, overpriced Euro-macro. Cheers!

Horrid. Probably best used as a laxitive. Many a minor in possession of this has cleaned his system out the next morning. The rating before mine is great though!

THOUGHTS: I used to love this beer before I was of legal drinking age, because it had a little more kick and flavor than the other macros. Then I would still buy it from time to time after turning 21. But then it became more scarce in the Delaware Valley. I picked this up on a recent trip to Virginia. Not as good as I remembered it, still better than a lot of pale lagers. I think with the bottles you don’t get that bad aftertaste that others mentioned. TECHNICAL: Bottle. Poured a clear, light yellow with fair carbonation and a small to average fizzy, white head that mostly diminished. The aroma was light grain and moderate grassy hops. The initial flavor was light to moderately sweet and lightly acidic; while the finish was moderately sweet, lightly acidic and bitter and slightly sour with a short duration. There was some grain malt then some grassy hops and a little sourness like sourdough. The sour kicked in as it warmed. Tip. Don’t let it get too warm. The light body was watery with soft then fizzy carbonation and a light to moderate astringent finish.

Dark Yellow. A few faint hints of some fruit and then just puree bitterness. I guess this is ok if you only have a few bucks and want to get shmamerred.

water yellow pour with no head. malts and fruit on the nose. easy on the palate and the bitterness is a bit overkill.

Another worthless macrobrew. Think of it as water and alcohol which to me doesn’t qualify as beer. It will get you drunk so you can piss allover yourself. Ice piss water.

Look, you bought a 24 can for 2 bucks. You caught a cheap buzz. What else do you want? Versus some gangster malt liquor this is champagne. i call it the champagne of 2 dollar tall boys. Get some.
