16oz. Pours a clear straw body with a white head. Aroma is fairly muted... mostly sweet corn flakes. Body follows with similar flavors but a surprisingly malty presence. Has a very bad rap, mostly from Pennsylvanians... I didn’t think it was that bad.

Drank from the bottle at a Phish festival in Coventry, VT. Just a god awful beer, almost undrinkable.

Better than the light version, I have drank more of this than I’m proud of but will most likely not again.

I was wondering if I did a taste test between this and water, if I’d be able to tell the difference.

Locally Whole Foods is carrying this beer at a jacked up price. The appearance of this beer is the highlight. Pours a bright, clear golden color with a small white head. Lacking in aroma, maybe a touch of cereal in the nose. Watery with mild flavors of cereal and honey, and a touch of hops in the background. It beats a bud.

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.

TerryR (383) - Oswego, Illinois, USA - JUN 2, 2006
Golden color with a white head that fades away. Slight hops in the aroma. Moderately sweet flavor with a hint of corn Another hint of hops in the finish. Drinkable and an alternative to the big guys.

This is rubbish. No aroma, no appearance, minimal flavor, skanky feel. It’s only where it is because I’m a P-burgh sympathizer.
