oldrtybastrd (3228) - Doha, Qatar/Great Falls, Montana, USA - FEB 24, 2006
Pours a light golden yellow. Aromas of minor hops, corn, grains. Flavor is light, crisp, watery with a little hop and not much else.

Eyedrinkale (3214) - Astoria, New York, USA - APR 7, 2005
I threw this in with a few trades when the bottle/can first came out, cause it looked pretty cool. To those that got this from me, I appologize. Taste was nothing but corn. Not only that, but it didn’t even have much head retention if any. Total drainpour.

hotstuff (3213) - Indiana, USA - AUG 16, 2005
Aluminum bottle. White small head that mostly dissipated, fine-medium sized bubbles, fair lacing, transparent, carbonated, and a yellow hue. Corn aroma and a somewhat sweet malt flavor that wasn’t all that great. Tingly mouthfeel and light body. Uninteresting.

FROTHINGSLOSH (3205) - GREENSBURG, Pennsylvania, USA - JUL 31, 2005
UPDATED: JUN 27, 2006 Or "Arn city" as the locals pronounce it. Sampled from a 16 oz can - ice cold - as that is the only survivable way to drink this one. It pours a medium golden color with a large soapy white head. The aroma is sour macro tang. The flavor is your typical macro sour tangy loaded with corn. Uggh.

KAggie97 (3170) - Ugly, Hot, and Humid Spring, Texas, USA - APR 30, 2005
I can’t believe I paid $6.99 for a sixer of this. One would’ve been fine. Aluminum "bottle" does keep the beer cold on the way home, but the advantages end there. Pours thin, piss yellow, and with a small head. No lace to speak of around the glass. Aroma is a dull mix of hops and straw. Taste has some weird hybrid banana in there somewhere, but it is soon overpowered by the stale malt and dull hops.

deyholla (3153) - Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA - JUN 9, 2009
Bottle. Poured a pale gold with a white head. Aroma is bland, some malts and hops. Flavor disappoints like the aroma, not much here.

DougShoemaker (3149) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - SEP 5, 2005
Faint malt nose, golden amber, pours a finger of white foam and a trace of lace. Corn is the predominent flavour. Corn syrup stickiness. Poor.
