16 ounce can! Oh yeah. Can thanks to TylerPow. Pours a clear golden color with almost no head after a few seconds. A sweet adjunct filled nose, corn and syrup. A sweet and fairly unoffensive flavor; light syrup akin to honey, grains and corn, only a bit dirty, mostly a clean flavor. OK.

Fizzy white head on a pale yellow body. Light hops aroma dominated by corn. Strong corn flavor with a watery consistency.

Very true to type. Taste is more robust than most macro lagers. No surprises here. Aroma is malt with some hops. Appearance is golden with a thin head. Flavor is sweet and bitter with some corn. Palate is better than average for a lager. No complexity, but not bad.

Everyone in Pittsburgh somehow chokes this down a regular basis. Maybe the new brewer will do this beer some good, but this is light, watery, piss tasting beer. Not a good one.

Golden in color, clear with a thick fluffy head. Served ice cold this just like those everyday college beers we have all had. Nothing special just a good cold need that beer. Nice malt flavor no hops and a dry finish.

jgb9348 (3369) - Arlington (Pentagon City), Virginia, USA - JUN 19, 2005
Pale golden yellow body with a small white head. Aroma of skunk, cardboard, funky malt and old hops-nothing good in this one! Light-bodied; Subtleties of sauvignon blanc in taste with a mild grapeyness, some light malt and a bit of fake sugars. Aftertaste is pale and unsatisfying. Overall, a bad beer but one I’d rather be drinking than any BMC product. Sampled after the Steelers lost in the 2004-2005 season. I sampled this twelve ounce ALUMINUM bottle purchased from Norm’s in Vienna, Virginia on 02-February-2005.

Boutip (3294) - Gatineau, Quebec, CANADA - OCT 11, 2005
Aluminium bottle: Poured a pale yellow lager with a medium white bubbly head with good retention. Aroma of corn is clearly noticeable and very little else seems to pop out. Taste is refreshing with some malt presence and crisper hops then expected. Just above your average pale lager.

unclemattie (3242) - Georgia, USA - MAR 3, 2009
12oz twist-off bottle. Side by side with IC light. Clear, golden pale. White foamy head. Appearance is typical of style. Aroma of of canned corn (salt added and very sweet niblets). Again typical. Roasted corn flavor, finishes with a hop stalk bite. I gotta vomit now.
