UPDATED: JUL 30, 2008 Cool aluminum bottle. Pale honey in color w/ very little froth. Aroma of burnt corn. Tastes like sweet malted burnt corn.

Aluminum bottle into a Snifter. Smells of barely nothing except for a light honey touch somewhere in there. The taste is very stale taste of the nose with corn, pale hops, and honey. Its just like every other horrible American lager, boring, not tasty, and bland! Thanks to Larry who brought it in for us though.

KingpinIPA (841) - Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA - SEP 19, 2006
Yellow color and foamy. Smell of malt and corn. Taste of minor hops and malt with a harsh bitterness. A little skunky at the end also.

GirlyBeer (191) - Old Orchard Beach, Maine, USA - SEP 14, 2006
Came in one of those bottle-cans. Very clear and yellow. Almost no head at all. Very uninteresting with very little hop character and some grain character, but not a malty flavor. This is one of those beers that fits very well into the "domestic american lager" category.

Sleepster (12) - Dayton, Ohio, USA - AUG 31, 2006
Thee-worst-beer-I’ve-ever-had. And it was on tap. Taken straight from the river. Smells like crap, looks like crap, and tasts like it was sitting in an old rusty metal bucket. The champagne of the Monogahela indeed.

Sanchex (224) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - AUG 31, 2006
In a bottle shaped can (or is it a metal bottle?). I was totally expecting a light tasting beer with not much to it but was pleasantly surprised by it’s body and depth of flavor. Aroma was a little off but the flavour was reminiscent of an abbey dubbel but with hints corn. Cheers!

nimbleprop (2126) - SouthWest, Washington, Washington DC, USA - AUG 29, 2006
Golden yellow color with almost no white head. Malty aroma. Malty taste with a metallic finish. Tastes like a frat party.

Light skunky aroma. Clear sparkling appearance. Does taste better than what it smells like.
