Come on, why? Why I say? Jimmy Buffett should be ashamed to put his name with this. bland yellow pour. white head. grainy and bland aroma. grainy and a hint of sweetness on the tongue. not a good beer at all!!!!

Bottle at Pot o Luck at Dillon’s. Pale yellow body reminiscent of corona. Grain, light maltiness, wet paper, and lightly metallic that might be a hop note. poor.

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.

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.

UPDATED: APR 7, 2008 Bottle. Expecting more schtick than decency. Margaritaville/Anheuser-Busch? Come on, this can’t be good. Pours dark straw with a thin but voluminous head and good lacing. Aroma is of a skunk drunk on spiked fruit punch. Taste is not what I was expecting. I was expecting Carib, but it is a lot smoother. Pretty smooth as a matter of fact. Still some tartness though. Easily drinkable, but still watery as all hell. If your alternative is Natty Light, go with this. If your alternative is rancid water, go with the dysentery. That is probably a bit strong, but still, I won’t remember this five minutes after I finish it.

Bottle. Head is initially small, fizzy/frothy, white, mostly diminishing. Body is clear light to medium yellow. Aroma is lightly malty (grain, husks), trace hops (flowers), with notes of DMS and detergent. Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly sweet, lightly to moderately bitter, husky, unclean. Light to medium body, watery texture, fizzy carbonation. I’m not sure I understand the point.

Bottle. Sour corn malt aroma. Pale yellow color with small head. Light sour corn malt flavor. An obvious attempt to squeeze into the Corona market - just slightly better. Jimmy biting the hand that fed him.

Bottle and served in pint glass: Yep another pale straw hued beer with a fizzy head but at least this one had some lace. The aroma is god awful vapours of adjuncts and DMS with a hint of wet husky grains and dishwater. The taste is not any better with a veggie overtone and no hint of hops to be found. Did they just wave a hop over the fermenter and call it a day? At least the finish is so short you quickly forget how bad the beer is. The mouth feel is watery and fizzy. What pisses me off more about this beer is whom it is associated with and people who think this is actually "brewed" by a micro. Maybe if my hair was spiked into something like a shark fin then I would have enjoyed it more.

UPDATED: APR 15, 2008 Pale straw color with a taller white head that seems to have a hint of yellow to it. Very bubbly brew. Wow this smell just like so many South American lager. Chalky pale malt and grain with just a hints of grass and dry herbs. Actually this has a decent look to it, if it didn’t look so artificial. The bubbles don’t stop and the head looks like plastic foam. I’ve now stalled drinking long enough. Wow, is this some vapid stuff. Lemon water start with a light medicinal/smoke/earthy finish and linger. Rerate, correct typos

bottle, billowy head with thin malt taste and some sugar, yellow color , sharp bitter finish,
