12 oz. can. Ever since I visited a liquor store whose new license had been held up, so they couldn’t buy more stock, and the only macro beer left at all was 12 cases of Keystone Light (but there some nice old high-end brews in the back), I’ve jokingly called this "the one to have when it’s the only beer left." Upon finally trying it, I can finally say this: Just a hint of bowling alley beer smell in the can. Pours very, very pale. No malt sweetness, no bitterness. Just another little malt pop that could just as well be the base for Zima or Mike’s Hard. But it still tastes better than Coors Light; and, having no taste of its own, serves well to wash the aftertaste of Miller Chill out of my mouth.

Looks, smells, and tastes like every other macro pale lager: corn, grain, and shitty malts. Slightly less bitter than most.

Single can purchased from a mom & pop store in Kindersley, Saskatchewan on 06/02/2012. Colour: Medium yellow with hints of gold and zero head. Nose: Malty with some scrambled egg and just the faintest touch of Franks Red Hot sauce. Taste: Medium-light sweet, light bitter, light sour. There musn’t be a sniff oh hop in this entire beer because there isn’t a shred of bitterness. Light icing sugar coats the mouth and finish has a touch of grainy sourness.

Looks like water, tastes like water, smells like piss. No wonder people mostly use it when beer bonging or playing beer pong.

UPDATED: MAY 29, 2012 Drank 2 of these last night.... woke up this morning with a raging headhead. BOOO!! Finishing off my cheap beer weekend with this sixer from the Walmart in Waterloo, Ny. The choice seemed to just fit the crowd. Also can’t beat price... $3.88 of all 6 16 oz cans!!!! Typical yellow fizz appearance, typical corn nose, hint of metal too. Taste is light and watery, the most character is bitterness and metal. Despite no bitterbeer face, this one has metal ting face. Yikes.

Pours a see through yellow, Really nothing on the nose. Pounds down like water with a mild barley flavor. High School memories...

might as well drink water. dont waste your time even trying this one. it is a waste of space in the fridge and in your stomach

Light pale straw color; Light body; Aroma and flavor of cereal/corn, light malt, and grain; Pretty bland and slightly watery; Only good for keg parties.

This beer has absolutely no flavor, which can be a good thing for some. I find this to be a good session beer if it’s free and that’s about it. I have a buddy who almost always gets this crap and I fail to see why when there are better cheap alternatives out there.

Multiple tastings from back in the day. Drank a few of these at parties and the like before I had standards. This is swill.

Knowing that I’ll never have to drink this again was definitely one of the highlights of graduating college.
