whew nothing like a 6 pack of tall boys to get the party going. Smooth going down not very pleasant to drink. Good cheap beer for college students and high schoolers looking for a party.

Can. Smells like cheap beer and alcohol. Quite smooth. Not very appealing. Main appeal is that there is more alcohol than a standard pale lager, and its so thin that your stomach thinks its water.

UPDATED: MAR 5, 2007 Not a great beer by any means, but still better than some popular american beers. bright side is that it is cheap and has a stronger alcohol content - still better than coors light.

The only reason to drink this is to drink a bunch of this and to get wasted. I would not waste my time with this.

UPDATED: JUN 25, 2011 So you are mumbling ‘This can’t be the first time he’s tasted it?” No it is not….. I’ve had this before I became an amateur ratebeerian. But first, I wanted to get some experience with about 200 ‘good’ beers and really give this brew equal footing before I BMC step on it. So, this is neither a number padder nor a memory rate. This beer is being sampled as I review. Big black 24 oz can, a bomber. Flip top to reveal a industrial, alcohol laced, raw meat aroma. There is some yeast in there too. Pours like any other cheap american beer into my steeler stein. I must mention that it does not glow as much as 211. Clear yellow and a small white head that rapidly fades. There are very few bubbles coming up from the brew. Taste is a little like some strong ales I’ve had, you know, some alcohol bite. Not quite as intimidating as many spicy, herby- vegetable beers. The alcohol is not in your face as special reserve is. Can says ‘always smooth’ and it is smoother than many quality beers. The finish IS pretty smooth but has something a little bitter in there, perhaps hops. Keystone hit the market with the saying that it is ‘not the bitter beer’. It’s odd that some beer craft companies strive for the opposite of foreign/imp stout and ipa, beers highly prized by a certain majority. Again, the finish is pretty smooth and if you wait a few moments after the swallow, there is perhaps a lightly increasing bitterness; shall I even mention the finish of a Vienna? Has a bit too much alcohol personality for me. Are they allowed to add alcohol after the beer has brewed or is this just they way it turns out during the brew? Perhaps not as refined as many cheap pale yellow american beers. I dream that we sell cheap beers to the Russians like we scarf up the cheap Baltika 6…..similar rating.

Slightly better than its light brother because its 5.9%. Smooth with no bad ending, pours like water. These will sneak up on u after drining more than 6-8. Good for college kids who need to get fucked up w/o spending tons of cash.

sigh......I mean really what can i say, what did i expect. I’d leave the comments section blank but its a requirment of the site, to say something. I guess i have to prove that i drank it like anyone would lie. Anyways this beer was yellow and tasted like water cold.....sweet water but as it warmed it tasted very unpleasnt, i would agree that it was rathe sour. Not much but a putrid corny aroma. It did finish cleanly which warrented a score above 0.5. In the end this was a total drain power, about 20 oz.

Sampled from a 24 oz can this beer poured an extremely pale yellow with a huge soapy white head. The aroma is sour and tangy macro swill. The flavor is sour and tangy corn syrup with a vague bitterness and a very light hint of mild hops.
