Clear as Bahamian sea water and the color of the springtime sun. Smells like stone crabs roasting. Sweet and nutty like macadamia-encrusted halibut. LOL. All in all a good way to have a Homer moment.

From a clear 12 oz bottle, this poured clear yellow with a gluey white foam head. Soapy lemony aroma, what there is of it. The bland flavor is pure adjunct, corny malt and water. A misguided waste of valuable brewing equipment and talented brewers .. guys who can make beer with such consistency should be using those skills to make something with some flavor.

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.

Nose is corny and sweet adjuncty with some apple notes too. Pours pale golden, thin head. No lace. Flavor is all corny sweetness and gross grains. Lingering awful sweetness and gross mouth feel. Wow bad.

Bottle [12oz] shared with HogTownHarry & garthicus -- c/o garthicus. Pours a clear pale gold with an average size diminishing white head. Aroma is vegetal, grassy and quite sweet along with light floral hops and grain. Watery flavour, there’s not much there, has some light grassy hops along with sweet malt, grain and corn. Average bodied. Very poor stuff.

Comes in a clear bottle, Corona-style, and I’m sure this is the market these guys are targeting, with the whole Jimmy Buffet schtick. This beer is similar to Corona, light in body and flavour, but remarkably even less hopped.

This bottled brew from Fort Wayne, IN poured a small sized head of foamy white colored finely sized mostly diminishing bubbles that left behind a transparent uncarbonated straw yellow colored body. The lagerish aroma contained notes of mild skunky dirty feet. The mouth feel was tingly and crisp from start to finish. The crisp flavor contained notes of lagerish malts.

Pale yellow color with a thin head. Light, sugary corn aroma. Corn taste. Corn, corn, corn.
