I was surprised how much I enjoyed this beer, it reminds of a Macrobrew but done correctly. flavorful with a right amount of malt, no bitterness. I think this is the type of beer you should drink at football games.

Cool 12 oz aluminum bottle that pours a clear straw golden with a decent fizzy white head that doesn’t last very long, does leaves some lacing, light grainy and flowery aromas (no skunk). Sweet bready, grassy and grainy flavors, light bodied with a thin and watery mouthfeel, finishes with some sweetness, alright for what it is.

JonR888710 (999) - Cochabamba, BOLIVIA - JAN 21, 2005
Yellowish, golden piss water with a thin white foam. Smells skunked. Taste is poor malt and iron skillet. Like drinking polluted water out of the 3 rivers in Pittsburg. Stay away from this.

Brown glass bottle. Grain and corn and cigarette nose. Flavor is wet corn and hay, grains and starchy ash and tobacco. Tastes awful, simply put.

Aluminum bottle variety. Unfortunately, the bottle is the best part of the experience. Virtually indistinguishable from your standard commercial American lagers. At least it has a decent amber coloring in lieu of the traditional Bud-piss yellow hue common to this kind of beer.

ALUMINUM BOTTLE I found this beer to be much less sweet than Stoneys which we drank side by side during the Steelers win. However it had much less flavor too. It’s not quite as bland as I remember from years past, My guess is most all macros have cranked it up a notch.

MAP (1133) - Lakewood, Ohio, USA - JAN 15, 2005
Aluminium bottle. Drinking this to enjoy the Steeler’s OT victory vs the Jets. Clean crisp cold generic lager. Its not that bad for an american standard, but hell its still beer.

Ooh! An aluminum bottle. Nose is sweet, some grass and grains. Nobleish hops, overly sweet. Aside from being too sweet is is ok, but why would I ever really want to drink this?
