LePoopie (151) - Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin, USA - JAN 13, 2006
Aluminum bottle. Light golden color, looks thin and watery, head dissapated quickly until it all pretty much disappeared. Weak aroma, almost non-existant. Taste isn’t overly offensive, but also offers nothing of value either. Body is very thin, with some carbonation; it reminded me more of drinking mineral/sparkling water. On the plus side, the bottle has a picture of 2005 Hall of Famer Dan Marino, so I can only assume drinking this beer will allow me to accomplish his Herculean feats. Otherwise, this is just bad.

Aluminum bottle in the Iron City. Pale gold, bubbly white head. Grainy, vegetal, a bit metallic. Thin bodied, not too harsh. Blah.

Aluminum bottle from the <a href=http://www.lcbo.com target=blank>LCBO in Peterborough. Light gold in colour, dissipating white head, no lace, vigorous bubbles. The aroma was crisp, sharp, acidic, metallic with some grains. The flavour was very tinny and metallic, slightly sweet, corn. Malts/hops severely lacking. Bitter mouthfeel, very light watery body, medium/high carbonation. Finishes crisp, metallic and watery.

Standard yellow, decent head/lacing, mild hoppy aroma. Mouthfeel is a bit creamy, then you get an overwhelming taste of corn, then the watery finish.
