Pours nearly clear, amber gold with a small, off-white head. Barley and corn malt aroma. Taste is your typical corn/grain light beer and water. Completely inoffensive... Thirst quenching... Cool cap.

My Dad swears by this beer that claims to be a Pilsener, but is really just yet another identical brew of American adjunt lager. If you’ve tasted one, you’ve tasted them all. Blech.

UPDATED: JUN 25, 2012 It’s a typical light lager. Grain and malt flavor and watered down too. It has a certain lemony tang to it that the original does not.

Bottle. Pours crystal clear, light golden in color with a pure white head. The aroma and flavors are very clean slightly malty with a crisp finish. Good, cheap summer bbq beer.

Originally reviewed: 1/23/12. A friend of mine gave me a 6-pack of this the other day. Poured the final bottle into a pint glass for review. Pours a pale, translucent gold with fine lace on top. No head or lace left behind on the glass. Nose is of cheap grains and freshly-cut honeycrisp apples. The mouth is crisp and thin. Very light, not surprisingly. Very sweet beer. Light apple juice, mild corn, sweet finish. This drinks like flavored water, and it is refreshing. I’ll give it that. Decent enough to wash down some wings or something, but nothing I’d stock the fridge with on a regular basis. My favorite part of this beer was the pictorial riddles under each cap. Nice little touch to an otherwise boring beer.

Cheap college beer. The flavor is about as close to water as you can get nut I assume if you are buying this you’re not expecting much

From a bottle poured a golden color with a fair amount of head. Light malty flavor with a quick finish.

Light, Skunky. It’s what I expected. A throwback to old college days and bad beer. Ahh memories.

I suppose I’ve been overdue to rate a pale lager, so here we go. Serving: 12 oz. can from Jesse at Fireworks. It has your typical macro light appearance. The nose is rather non-descript, an attribute that I don’t mind in this case. The taste is clean with a bit of grain but not much else. Very clean finish. It’s easy drinking and unoffensive, though it does lack flavor.

This beer is from Pennsylvania but it is a dead ringer for a Polish pale lager. It’s grainy and lightly skunky despite being brown bottled. It’s clear straw yellow w/ a long lasting white head. Definitely light in texture w/ fizzy carbonation but I’d say this is much closer to being an actual Pilsener than most American lagers.
