Bottle. I used to drink this frequently back in my PA days, but I found it in FL so heres my rating. Clear straw colored pour with a decent white head. Aroma is mostly just grainy with a little hop presence. Has a grainy malty flavor, a little bit like rice crispies. Not great but alot better than the big guys AB, Coors, and MGD. Non offensive and easy drinking.

fluffy (537) - St Petersburg, Florida, USA - JUL 14, 2008
better than i was expecting. lite golden color, no real head to speak of. kinda malty, cereal-like with some corn sweetness to follow. a finishing aftertaste of sour bread. was ok, probably would be alright if i lived in PA and it was cheap and plentiful. otherwise pretty much forgettable.

ChainGangGuy (3682) - Canton, Georgia, USA - JUN 10, 2008
Appearance: Pours a clear, yellow body with a wispy, white head. Smell: Grainy, slightly sweetish, cereal aroma with one single drop of lemon. Taste: Cereal, corn fleck taste. Medium sweetness. Faintest floral hops and bitterness. More of the same till the finish. Mouthfeel: Light-bodied. Medium carbonation. Drinkability: So-so. Much to my surprise, I found I.C Light to be, okay, maybe not better, but more tolerable.

Odyn (265) - New York, USA - MAY 25, 2008
I had this at PNC Park watching the Pirates play. Maybe it was that it was just at the ball game on a warm sunny afternoon, but this really hit the spot. A drinkable basic lager.
