Pours a semi-golden colour with a thick white malty top. Aroma is a little grainy with soft fruit like pears and hint of bananna. Taste is very dissapointing, metallicy, grain and finishes watery.

Appearance: Pours a clear, yellow body with a wispy, white head. Smell: Grainy, slightly sweetish, cereal aroma with one single drop of lemon. Taste: Cereal, corn fleck taste. Medium sweetness. Faintest floral hops and bitterness. More of the same till the finish. Mouthfeel: Light-bodied. Medium carbonation. Drinkability: So-so. Much to my surprise, I found I.C Light to be, okay, maybe not better, but more tolerable.

I had this at PNC Park watching the Pirates play. Maybe it was that it was just at the ball game on a warm sunny afternoon, but this really hit the spot. A drinkable basic lager.
