This golden beer has a huge, creamy, white head. The aroma has sweetness and notes of malt and corn. The flavour has a light sweetness, notes of flower, malt, corn and a light bitterness in the sweetish finish. The overall impression is thin.

Drank it from a 0.5 l can. Easy, a little sweet. Surprisingly hoppy aftertaste, not as bad as I thought, yet not a real treat either. Is quite ok when cold, but turns horribly watery and stale when it gets warmer. Initial tasting was quite on par with budweiser and other U.S. similarities.

Can 50cl. @ [ Ulfborg Tasting ].
[ Courtesy of Maria ]. Clear light to medium yellow orange color with a small to average, fizzy, fair lacing, mostly diminishing, white to off-white head. Aroma is light moderate malty, toasted, sweet malt, light light hoppy, flowers. Flavor is light to moderate sweet with a average to short duration. Body is light to medium, texture is watery, carbonation is soft. [20081202]

Can (BB 03/2008)
Ok, this is the latest idea from Sinebrychoff (owned by Carlsberg): "let’s take an old beer brand from the 1990’s and promote it as easy to drink festival beer". "Wild Indian" was the first corn beer in Finland 15 years ago (this one is propably with different recipe). Maize beer doesn’t sound very good marketing idea in Finland, where Bud has had quite bad reputation in the 2000’s. It pours golden with lots of CO2 and has small white head which fades away. Corn is evident in the nose as well some papery and skunky notes. Soft malty, a bit sweetish flavor. Propably corn softens this beer, although it is more on malty side. Light palate of course. Sweetish malty aftertaste. Clean and harmless summer drink. Cooler it is, the better it is. Slightly better and more drinkable than I expected, corn is not dominating in the flavor.

50cl can from K-Citymarket, Vantaa. Straw colour with an off-white head; smells of corn syrup; rather flat, watery, lacking sweetness and bitterness; all that can be said for it is that it’s wet.

Canned, clear golden in colour. minor white head. Maize like aroma... Grass maize and malt in the flavour. It get’s worse as it gets warmer.

(33 cl bottle, thanks oh6gdx!) Clear pale golden color, white head. Thin sweet grassy and vegetable scent. Grainy and malty stale taste. Spritzy yet thin mouthfeel. Low bitterness.
