Not a very good beer, IC Light is much better.

Well done aluminum bottle. Pours with an abundant head. Nice sparkling golden appearance. Aroma is not pleasant. Corn and hopless. While no flaws were apparent. It seems like a lot of work for something mediocre at best. If you have the brewing equipment and the malts available and it’s not going to cost any more and it may increase your potential market, why not cut out the corn and adjuncts and do something interesting like adding a touch of wheat, or Saison du Pont yeast?

Darkover (1440) - Columbus, Ohio, USA - JUN 1, 2004
Yellow with small white head. Aroma is skunky at first then it improves slightly. Flavor of corn malt.

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.

shintriad (700) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - JUL 28, 2006
Pretty horrid. I can’t detect what it is I’m smelling in this crap (banana? corn?) but it’s overly sweet, gassy, thin-tasting and non-beer-like. Utter crap, as you’d expect by its inspired name.

Shipman (48) - Spring City, Pennsylvania, USA - MAY 21, 2003
Not a bad cheap beer. An old school approach to beer taste. A very good college beer. Higher end of the cheap beer scale.

Rockinout (966) - Kent, Ohio, USA - DEC 20, 2004
Aluminum bottle. Almost yellow, fizzy for sure. Standard lager that has a somewhat peppery hop bite at the finish. Only Steeler fans enjoy this stuff and that I am not.

Neat aluminum bottle, at least you know it’s not going to be lightstruck. Poured a disappointing pale color with weak head. Wet cardboard aroma. Sweet, cheap lager flavor. Flat texture. Boring. Pity. Bottle is the best part.
