Def seen this around more than the Key Ice... just as bad although always a bargain.

Pours pale yellow with a 2 finger fizzy white head that fades really quickly. Aroma is corn, stale malt, washed grain and some planty/vegetal notes. Flavor is about the same. Just another crappy american macro, honestly reminds me a little of a lower quality coors light.

Every once in a while, it is good to have a beer you know you will hate, just to be reminded of the difference between good and bad. 24 ounce container that appears to be a can of motor oil and says that it is specially lined. Terrible aroma of stale yeast and rotting vegetables. Very light, urine-like pour with big, noisy, and quickly falling head. Taste is not as bad as expected: water, corn syrup, some yeast, and a sprinkling of hops. How do they make this stuff? Maybe Miller-Coors takes the leftover mash from making one of their other beers, and runs some water through it, then adds a little corn syrup. Or maybe there is a huge cornfield somewhere in the midwest, with a pipe running under it that catches all the runoff, the sludge, the pesticides, the organic debris, and out of a desire to waste nothing, Miller-Coors decided to turn this stuff into a beer. It sits very uneasily in the stomach. Drain pour! Good heavens, this has to be my lowest rated beer, lower even than a couple of things that were clearly contaminated. Why would anybody want to buy this?

(Can) After all the negative press that this beer gets, I was truly expecting worse. Come on folks, it’s bad, but it’s not that bad. There is some bitterness (in contrast to Natural light, to which it is frequently compared), and the aroma is not entirely unpleasant, and there’s less unpleasant sourness than I would expect. In my opinion, this beer pales in comparison to Miller Lite, but exceeds coors light, although I’m sure many would dispute that. In my opinion, this beer actually offers a good deal for your money: if you’re wanting ultra-cheap beer, this is the way to go.

Can 71 cl. Clear pale golden with a dense white head leaving laces. Sweet aroma of brewing cereal. Light body with a soft mouthfeel, sweet brewing cereal and no bitterness. 100709

Had this a few months back while playing beer pong. Just like all the other macros there is a huge amount of corn coming from this beer. Pours yellow with a white head. Not a good beer, but if your in college and need to get drunk than this is the cheap stuff that will get the job done.

Oh, so light! You can drink like ten of these and feel no other sensation than the urge to pee. I drank lots of ’Stones in college; they’re cheap. And yeah, it has basically no flavor or complexity, but it is quite refreshing - like water - on account of its lightness. Clear, yellow pour. Almost no head. Nose of straw. Flavor is smooth, sweet and a tad metallic. This is the only stone I would ever want to pass.
