I gave it a few extra points for the cool metal bottle. Unfortunately they filled the cool can with another palllid macro-swill. No appreciable aroma, flavor or finish that I would care to comment on.

Who buys this stuff? It smells like a cheap champagne and the aftertaste is something I might burp up after drinking a Budweiser. Out of all the beers I can’t get in Texas, this is one they actually allow. Crap!

04.11.05 12oz alumibottle ’thanks’ to Eyedrinkale. For god’s sake Mike, what did I do to deserve this? I mean, I thought we were pals? I shared a 20 year old Liefman’s Kriek with you and you thank me with this corn soup?

okay, that’s outta my system...lol
Pale straw pour looks like a hundred other beers out there; big white head fades. Aroma is cornflakes. I’d swear there are no hops before I even sip the stuff. Not much taste al all other than more corn flakes. True, it’s not very good. The bottle was cool; I guess the high average score is a sentimental vote.

I threw this in with a few trades when the bottle/can first came out, cause it looked pretty cool. To those that got this from me, I appologize. Taste was nothing but corn. Not only that, but it didn’t even have much head retention if any. Total drainpour.

Clear light yellow color, heavy on the corn aroma, slight malt and adjunct initial taste which quickly becomes dull corn. The metal bottle is cool. Its nice to try beers like this once in a while to make us realize where we were before we got into fine craft brews

Had this while in Pittsburgh over the holidays. Absolute crap! I think I could actually taste the iron in this beer. You know it is pretty bad. When steeler fans offer to buy you this beer and you have to turn it down.

Metal bottle version: Pours crystal clear gold with a thin white head. Tiny bubbles and almost no lacing. The aroma is pretty sweet but nondistinct. Light-bodied and actually has a tiny bit of malt and corn flavor. At least there is nothing offensive going on. The finish is short and almost flavorless, aside from a bit of grain and malt. Of the macro Lager type beers, this is one of the better.

I finally broke down and bought one of these just because of the cool metal bottle. Unfortunately that’s all that was outstanding about this beer. Corn and grain aroma. Corn adjunct and grainy taste. Unpleasent roughness. Nothing here to make me want to buy another one. I will keep the bottle though
