MAP (1133) - Lakewood, Ohio, USA - JAN 15, 2005
Aluminium bottle. Drinking this to enjoy the Steeler’s OT victory vs the Jets. Clean crisp cold generic lager. Its not that bad for an american standard, but hell its still beer.

I was surprised to find it drinkable. Good for a fishing trip.

Silphium (2711) - East Lansing, Michigan, USA - MAY 16, 2004
Yes! This gorgeous beverage poured a golden-yellow color reminiscent of the evening sun dabbling light on the rippled sands of Lake Michigan’s dune country. The whitish head, you ask? The frothing, biting advance of the whitecaps onto the sandy shore. The malty, corny and sweetish aroma and flavor? Why, haven’t I convinced you already? Just make sure you tread the dunes as softly and smoothly as this beer treads my palate. And may the dune grass kiss your feet as the hops embrace your tastebuds.

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.

haddon90 (1200) - Tustin, California, USA - MAR 15, 2004
On tap at TGI Friday's at Pittsburgh International Airport. Clear golden color with little or no head. Light aroma. Crisp, watered down, typical American Standard. Nothing overly special about this beer.

Gromit (479) - Port Orchard, Washington, USA - MAY 27, 2004
Eh, nothing to add about this beer. Yet another mass-produced lager, though it came in a cool "One Pint" bottle. This is the epitome of "fizzy yellow beer."

Jeppe (2633) - Ølbutikken, DENMARK - AUG 16, 2004
Golden colored beer with a foamy white head. Weak aroma, slightly hoppy. Hoppy and flowery flavor with something undefineable in the finish.

piscator34 (1582) - Winnipeg, Manitoba, CANADA - AUG 31, 2005
Gold on colour with medium carbonation and a fast head. Some malty aromas to this one, along with a touch of corn. Fairly malty in flavor as well, with some faint notes of caramel and earthy hops. It’s basically a half-step up from your typical North American macro, but nothing worth celebrating. Cool aluminum bottle though. Thanks to radiomgb for the interesting extra.
