Aluminum bottle. Moderate malt aroma with slightly sweet corn aroma. Golden color with moderate head. Light sweet malt flavor with slight corn flavor as well. Standard American brew.

Rockinout (966) - Kent, Ohio, USA - DEC 20, 2004
Aluminum bottle. Almost yellow, fizzy for sure. Standard lager that has a somewhat peppery hop bite at the finish. Only Steeler fans enjoy this stuff and that I am not.

I’m glad that their new aluminum bottles gives them something to get excited about, because it’s gotta be real hard for a brewer to get worked up over this piss-water. Poured from the metal bottle, it’s a deep yellow color with a rapidly vanishing head. Coupled with the lack of carbonation, this stuff has the presentation of a 1st-class, 40-oz, brown bottled-malt liquor. It smells like rotting corn and rusted cans. Sadly, it tastes worse. And for those of you who enjoy such things, it has a metallic finish that leaves your tongue burning. Enjoy!

Really cool bottle. Somehow managed to get lightly skunked even though there is no way light could get in... Maybe it was done on purpose at the brewery. Sweet malt, sour fruit, and light skunk combine. Looking past the skunk, there might be a beer similar in taste to Fat Tire or Dos Equis.

UPDATED: MAR 23, 2005 Keith-Well, for a heap lager I guess its ok. Metal "bottle" caught my eye. This beer is light on aroma and head. The taste is also weak with a hint of sweetness brought on by the malt. You get what you think you are going to get on this one.

Pours with a white head that fades quickly, leaving no lace. Light carbonation. Clear amber color, light bodied. Nose is a faint apple. Starts malty, hops are in the background, finishes with hints of apple/lemon. 95¢ for a 12 oz bottle from Vintage Cellar Blacksburg, VA.

UPDATED: JAN 21, 2005 Pours the expected golden yellow with a quickly fading white head. Grassy aroma. Taste is that of a typical macro lager: grainy with rice, corn. However, it does have a little more malty sweetness and body than BMC. Thin and fizzy on the palate but to it’s credit, there’s a hint of taste on the back end. Not good, but not offensive by any means either.
