Bottle, not too bad, pretty basic for a pale lager, tastes better than the bmc crap. Watery, with a slighty darker yellow color. Basic light matls, hops are non existant. Reminds me of drummond bros.

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.

Sparky (2128) - Phoenix, Arizona, USA - DEC 15, 2008
Bottle. I’ve never seen this is a bottle before. I feel like I should put on a Franco Harris jersey and wave a Terrible Towel while drinking it. Pours a clear yellow with a 2 finger quickly dissipating snow white head and spotty lacing. Nose is grain and light hops. Taste is malt, some light hops and a slight metallic finish. Light mouth feel. Not good.

16oz. Pours a clear straw body with a white head. Aroma is fairly muted... mostly sweet corn flakes. Body follows with similar flavors but a surprisingly malty presence. Has a very bad rap, mostly from Pennsylvanians... I didn’t think it was that bad.

remember seeing this beer as a kid withthe pittsburgh steelers on the can Gold colour, poor head retention, a few tiny bubbles stuck to the edge of the glass then totally vanished. Aroma was corny, a little grain. Very light in the flavour dept, weak citrus note, thin malt and corn. Thin body, average carboantion. Corny grainy clinging aftertaste

branspra (293) - Arlington, Virginia, USA - SEP 2, 2008
Bottle (aluminum). Light yellow color with minimal hop taste. Flavor is suprisingly better than most mass-produced lagers, although light on the bitter side. I would drink this over Bud, Miller, and Coors on any day.

Clear gold, thin white head. Aroma- sweet fruit, corn and grain. Taste is very light sweet corn and earth. Light body and light carbonation.
