Sampled at the 2009 Parkville Microbrew Festival. Pours a pale yellow with a thin white head. This beer has little aroma and no flavor. If they attempted to make a boring macro style beer, then they succeeded. There is no redeeming quality of note here.

12oz bottle. Poured a lighter and hazy yellow color with a smaller sized head. Aromas of grains and corn. Tastes of grains, corn and light citrus. Thin and watery body.

Bottled (PBF). Very light yellow color, small white head. Light fruity and diacetylic nose. Light fizzy mouthfeel. Watery...like drinking very watery perry. "American style beer" like label says.

Pours with a little more blonde color than a typical macro light beer but from that point on is not too different. Very boring, traditional flavors with really no character or taste. Bought this beer at 5 PM, tasted at 6 PM, gave the twelve pack to a natty light fan at 6:01 PM, and went and bought some Boulevard. This is my only flying monkey experience and unless convinced otherwise will be my last.

Cheap-less than $8 for a 12-pack. Labeled "American style beer"-no telling what they mean by that. "Like Budweiser" I suppose. I kinda figured it wasn’t going to be good and when I poured it, I became more convinced. Pale gold color-brief small head. Almost non-existent aroma: corn and very small hint of hops. Grain and rice flavor. Crisp but a little stale with that nasty rice aftertaste. Good thing it’s cheap. Preferable to Bud though.

Bottled. Pale yellow body with a light white head. The aroma is rising pizza dough with some carrots. The taste has some light notes of bread dough and potatoes. There is a nasty finish that is truly like more raw bread dough. A weird brew.

Very light, clear, no head, no flavor, not very tasty. Sour aftertaste and I won’t purchase again.

(Bottled) Slightly hazy yellow with a small head. Sourish aroma of lime, corn, some cardboard. Sourish flavor with corn and some grainy malt. Light, watery body. A bad beer slightly spoiled... Yuck.

Pours a pale yellow color with a white head. Aroma is honey, grain, must, and some vanilla. Flavor is honey, very musty, grain, some vanilla, and a light earthy bitter finish.

Bottle. This beer is horrible. Pours a light, very light yellow. No head whatso ever. Aroma is water and corn. Taste is water. I felt like I was drinking a bottle of water. No mouthfeel, no taste. Horrible beer.
