Good golden color,small white head that faded quite quickly.I'm trying to find the aroma and just can't it's so faint that all i can say is that i think there is malt possible corn and maybe some hops.I was using the force to detect that stuff.The flavor is mild corn malt and mostly water with a few hops thrown in to keep them from being totally ill-legit.I have to say that it is some what refreshing but then again so is water.this brew will do in a pinch if there is little else around but i'm glad i just have the one to sample any more would be a drag.

Golden with a lot of bubbles. No real flavor. Taste like a mass produced beer from AB. Nothing special ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Yellow with some uninspired head leaving some lacing on the glass. Smell is sickly sweet, and has some rotten cabbage notes to it.

Metalchopz (1429) - Quebec, CANADA - FEB 15, 2012
Originally rated July 2005. Sampled from their aluminium bottle. Pours a rich golden colour with hardly no head, no lacing and very low carbonation. The smell is kind of sweet and malty with hints of grass. There is no sweet malt in the taste though, just grain malt at the beginning, and some corn at the finish. Pretty watery mouthfeel. Nothing special here... except the cool bottle.

473 ml can. Typical swill. A bit more muted than the average BMC, more watered down.

It’s better than similar offerings from Miller, Budweiser and Coors. Great for Steelers games.
