Tastes like metal. Leaves no aftertaste in mouth. Beer was in an aluminum bottle, and tasted like it came from a can. If your going to put a beer in a bottle, it might as well be glass. Wouldnt drink this again.

NOt bad while cold, but watch out when this one warms. Turned into a truly gross flavor. Typical corn rice chem taste but easy to slam. Not a bad cheapie.

I bought a six pack bottles for $2.99 in Southern Ohio. Poured the first cold one into a pislner glass. The aroma was faint hops scent. Little to no aftertaste. Flavor was very watery w/nothing special to remember. However, it served fine for quenching my thirst (ala gatorade) on a hot spring day. It was worth the 50 cents a bottle that I paid for it.

12 oz. can at Full Throttle in Seattle. Straw yellow. Minimal head. This has a very subtle Pilsner malt aroma. Diacetyl and corn hit my nostrils. This is slightly offensive. Diacetyl taste with a bit of sweet. Decent texture. This beer doesn’t have much going on.

Malt aroma, a little sweet, some apple and butter notes.Golden color, almost no head. Grainy flavor with metal on the edges, rather bland. Tinny finish.

mmmbeer (987) - Austin, Texas, USA - OCT 13, 2007
In a 12 oz Aluminum bottle (take the worst qualities of a can and make it into a bottle- brilliant)- poured thin transparent yellow, no head. Aroma, barely any, of malt. 1st sip made me think it was Budweiser- noticeable "wannabe" malt taste, no finish, goes down like water. Bad misuse of water...

Bottle....pours light yellow with a small head. Tastes like a watered down beer. Very little taste, next to no bitterness. Crisp and clean finish.

simple yeast aroma and very pale straw yellow color. Little flavor, starts a bit skunky, finishes sweet with no hop characteristics. Great for those who don’t like that ’beer’ taste.
