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.

rederic (2269) - montréal, Quebec, CANADA - NOV 25, 2005
Aluminium bottle, bright golden color, with a shy foamy white head, clean pale malt, light floral hops aroma follows through on a medium-bodied palate, pale malt, sweet toasted grains, and floral hops, leading towards a slightly metallic hops finish.

Pigfoot (2266) - Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA - JUL 12, 2005
It’s shaped and capped like a bottle, but formed of aluminum..."alumabottle"? "can’bot I can’t crush it, nor will break when dropped...huh! Clear, clean, pale yellow hue, small head disappears instantly. Aroma: faint, yet still foul. Cooked corn, spoiled grain...not pleasant in the least. Sweet, yet putrid. I fear to drink it... Taste: hollow, wet, no taste to speak of, no flavor, no character, any trace of the above vanishes immediately. What little taste there is holds no appeal, even cannot be redeemed by the lightness, follows through in the finish. Not good. If were stuck on a desert island with nothing but this beer, I’d try my best to grow gills and get away!

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?

Shag (2229) - Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA - MAR 21, 2004
This was do-able for a mass produced lager. Nothing offensive in the taste. Pretty clean and straight foward just nothing in the taste dept. I could see this for a night of swilling, if thats the goal

redlight (2209) - Winter Park, Florida, USA - APR 28, 2007
bready, yeasty aroma, typical lager aroma. Pours very light blonde with a thick white head, that does not last. Crisp and light, some honey malt and some noticable hops. Its still very light.

radagast83 (2202) - Fairfax, Virginia, USA - NOV 3, 2005
Can w/ bottle shape. Plain, regular beer taste. Not much unlike most of the other pale lager type beers out there.

Clear gold, thin white head. Aroma- sweet fruit, corn and grain. Taste is very light sweet corn and earth. Light body and light carbonation.
