Not the worst beer I’ve ever had, but very far from the best. Yellow, with a bit of head, some corn flavors.

DrZao (128) - Houston, Texas, USA - SEP 24, 2009
Bottle at Pramanti’s in Pitt. Typical light American lager: mild hops and watery but bright palate. It is the local classic so I had to try it. Went well with my pastrami sandwich though!

sirpsycho (393) - Murrysville, Pennsylvania, USA - SEP 19, 2009
Bottle. Pours a sparkling gold, very fine white head, leaves some lacing. Grain, corn, grass and vague hops sum up the aroma. Flavor is mostly malt, some hops and a touch of corn. Finish is very crisp, has a touch of bitterness.

whaleale (5) - Athens, Tennessee, USA - SEP 2, 2009 does not count
Not a bad yard beer. Good flavor for a light lager. Pours very little veil and finishes weak. Better choice than Bud or Coors.

Pours a pale yellow with a small white head. Aroma is corn, malt, grain. Flavor is corn, malt, grains. Watery thin and easy to drink but lacking flavor.
