fatty (363) - Perkiomenville, Pennsylvania, USA - AUG 13, 2005
Poured from the sweet aluminum can. Pale yellow body with medium white head. Medium carbonation. Aroma of light sweet corn. Light, thin sour hop flavor. Not bad, but doesn’t really offer much.

OlivierMTL (711) - California, USA - MAY 15, 2005
De couleur blonde vers le dorée, peu de formation de mousse. Arômes de timide grains et de houblons floraux style Hallertauer semblant être soumis au mais et aux choux bouillis. Les flaveurs nous transportent au festival du DMS encore une fois, faible amertume de houblon en finale. Carbonatation piquante abritant un corps très mince. Ce n’est pas grave, la bouteille d’aluminium est très originale.

Immy (1942) - Virginia Beach, Virginia, USA - JAN 4, 2007
12 oz bottle from Trooper11 - thanks, I think. Clear light gold with a thin white head. Light, sweet bread and grass nose. Flavor is the same, lightly sweet bread and grass. Grassy light bitter finish. Better than expected, but I didn’t expect much. Body is far too light, but the taste isn’t bad. Minor edge on BMC.

Angeloregon (2054) - Portland, Oregon, USA - JAN 1, 2008
On tap at Maiden in the Mist in Portland, OR--Poured a light straw copper golden body. Thin with a mild fizzy white head. Crisp and wavering, but with some hops presence. Diacytol yet refreshing overall. Nothing to write home about, but way better than the usual suspects in the shitty mainstream beer world.

garthicus (2006) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - JAN 29, 2009
Thanks to my co-worker Helen for bringing this back from Pittsburgh for me. Pours a very light yellow with a lot of visible carbonation and a proud snow white head. Aroma: Corn, malt some rubber(like the inside of a new plastic pencil case) and a tiny hint of unripe fruit. Flavour: Sweet, some definite corn notes, light malt, slight metallic finish. Not great but would drink it over say - Budweiser any day! Thanks Helen :-)

Rciesla (5500) - Exit 15W, New Jersey, USA - MAR 8, 2009
Bottle. What a way to finish off a bad day of work. Pours a golden nectar with a soda like diminishing white head. Skunk, malt extract, some earth and corn galore. Taste is a little better than the aroma much like your classic macro lager.

tcruicks (282) - Bloomington, Indiana, USA - JUN 27, 2006
Nice bottle, but otherwise very disappointing. Its yellow with a small white head. Overly carbonated. Smells sweet, mildly fruity. Tastes similar but really watery. Its thirst quenching- but then again, I’d rather just drink water!

puboflyons (1111) - Allenstown, New Hampshire, USA - SEP 22, 2008
From the 12 fl. oz. bottle. Pours a golden color with almost no head but a continual supply of carbonation. That’s rather an oxymoron. Aroma of roasted malts. Thin mouth feel. Taster is kind of grassy and bready with some vague hops. I do enjoy trying the classic names from time to time even though they’re rarely top of the line. But it’s drinkable enough.
