355 ml can, Fargo, ND, USA. 30 cent clearance, had to try it. Pours a shockingly pale urine colour, thin head with an aroma of very very faint rice water. Very watery, no aftertaste owing to the lack of any other flavors, aromas or anything. Some dishwater on the finish.

You can’t get a beer that is this bad if you look everywhere. Makes me sad to be a human being

Ugh, ugh, ugh. Goddamn that is disgusting. Its cheap, but there are better cheap beers. Do not waste your cash on this metallic, barfy, skunk secretion.

Pours an average pale corn water yellow with a bright white head that fades almost immediately, but NOT completely. A thin layer of yeast remains floating over the beer. Very interesting. But not as interesting as it’s aroma. What is it? Lemon & melon? Yeast and grass? Has a strange grain flavor with a roasted aftertaste. This is a very unusual tasting beer. It has character, but it seems not to know what it’s trying to tell your taste buds. A nice diversion from the average "cheap beer". However I would like to know what the alcohol content is. Not what I expected for only $6.99 for a case of 24 cans at Woodmans in Kenosha, WI. on 11/22/06.

one of the top fie WORST beers ive had i HATE to say this BUT its worse than miller lite and thats some bad beer just horrible save your bones

Thanks to tiggmtl for this one. Pours pale gold with big white head. Aroma of slight hopcit, some lemongrass. Tastes the same as it smells.

12 oz can (at $1.79 a 6, Woodmans of Janesville WI), Sultans of Swill tasting with tiggmtl and ClarkVV 10. Bit of head tops the very light yellow body...soft, sweet, bland mouthfeel follows a touch of dry grass in the nose...watery and simpering though there is a touch of sweetness...a masterpiece compared to most of what preceded it.

Sweet, grassy, grainy aroma. Pale golden coloured body with decent cover of white head and some marginal lacing. Mild, sweet, grainy flavour is short-lived. Very low bitterness. Mild carbonation leaves this one feeling a bit still and sticky in the mouth. Can sampled with ClarkVV and muzzlehatch.

Hahah, just looking at the picture to the left makes me laugh. Swill tasting with Barry and Stephen, can. Pale golden color, aside from the cider we had, this had a relatively decent yellow color. Small head, somewhat well retained. There is actually flavor in this one, I wont say it was great, but it has some sweet corn syrup, a little bit of metal and some lightly spoiled fruit notes throughout. Not disgustingly overcarbonated, a bit meaty all told and just really strange. My first Gluek product, I’m so proud!

UPDATED: JAN 10, 2008 The price on this stuff wins over all! Cheapest beer i have ever come across for a case., not quite 6 bucks a case like one guy says, but 7 bucks is a deal! Good beer to have around for backup, or have a few after you had beers you really like. tastes allright for the price though, I dunno about tasting bananas in it, that guys on crack.
