Slightly dark gold color. Thin white head. The the aroma is malty with grass and the sweetness of pears. The taste is light and inoffensive. It has some dirt and a little bit of bread. Not much else going on.

This canned brew poured a small head of white colored finely sized bubbles that left behind a transparent softly carbonated light yellow colored body and a minimal lace. The aroma is very mild with malty and doughy notes while the mouthfeel is crisp clean and mildly tingly from start to a lingering tingle in the finish. The flavor is that of a mild malt hop with a bit more body that some American Standards.

The "bottle" is much nicer looking than the can in the picture. Mild creamed corn aroma with some light floral (hallertau?) hops. Clear golden body with thin ring of white head that leaves some light lacing. Creamed corn and cabbage with some floral lavender hop flavours and very subdued bitterness. Light body with moderate carbonation. Aluminum bottle sampled with MartinT, Olivier_MTL and Rastacouere.

Tmoney99 (6892) - Cincinnati, Ohio, USA - MAY 25, 2006
Metal bottle. Clear pale color with an average white head that diminished quickly. Light grass hop aroma. Light body with a watery texture with soft carbonation. Light sweet flavor with a bitter finish of short duratoin. Better than my expectations.

This is pretty much your run of the mill pale lager. Some malt fullness in the mouth. A bit grainy and somewhat raw.

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.

12 oz bottle. Its turning into swill night here. Bought a sixer for $4.99 at Total wine. Knew full well it was nowhere near a “craft brew”. Its sweet and mild cereal malts. No hops or bitterness that I can detect. Lawnmower beer on a par with PBR. At least its drinkable, and not as watery as a Bud Light.
