May 28, 2007 Bottle: Super pale yellow, pellucid, very fizzy, too high of carbonation. Thin head and spotty lacing. Nose is a bit dusty with faint pilsner malt and some noble hops. Surprisingly unskunked for a clear bottle. Fresh maybe? The flavor is crisp and fresh, a bit lacking in body with a fizzy lemony mouthfeel and a grassy finish. Decent lager. Thanks to my boss Brett for muling this from the Keys for me.

Apr 2, 2008 12 ounce bottle from Richmond Beverage in Richmond, VT (April 2008) sampled out of the fridge from an appropriate Coors Banquet glass. For some reason I had a moment of excitement on seeing this, thinking I could finally scratch Florida off of my states list....but nope, just another Bud product. Anyway, the head is more stable than that of most pale lagers, white and creamy-fluffy; the body is totally clear light gold....mild, adjuncty (corn) aroma, but reasonably clean and fresh, lightly grassy....very sweet, sugary upfront, pretty dull and bland at midpalate, somewhat dry at the finish...no real hop presence, muted pale malts....bland but more drinkable than the majority of A-B products, certainly.

Feb 11, 2007 Bottle... Clear, light yellow lager with a small, creamy, white head. Decent retention. Subtle aromas of cereal grains, lemon and peppery hops. The flavor is of club soda with a sweet tint. Light to medium-bodied with lively carbonation. Short, crisp, clean finish. The bottle lists the brewer as Margaritaville Brewing Company.

Oct 29, 2007 12oz clear bottle showing off its beautiful appearance. Poured a light and clear yellow color (damn, it poured just the way it looked in that clear glass) with an averaged sized white head. Aromas of corn and grains. Tastes of sweet corn. Thin body. Nasty stuff.

Sep 19, 2007 No surprize here that this was contract brewed by A-B. In its clear bottle it looks pretty much like a urine sample. Poured, it created a sustained, thick creamy head... sitting on a urine sample. Not much aroma - some corn, sweet malt, grasses. Pretty light on the flavor, too - water, corn, water, malt, water, a weak metallic bitterness, water. The finish was wet. <font size=-4>Single bottle purchase ( Praise Be!) from DiCarlo Fine Wine and Spirits (formerly Armanettis), Mundelein, IL.<font size=-1>
