shawn14505 (5), USA does not count Jul 12, 2008 Outright offensive. My buddy picked me up a 12 pack when he returned from Utica, NY. This stuff is terrible. All you taste is the inferior adjuncts and sour water. Took one sip and poured the rest down the drain. Stay away from this poison. matt7215 (500), Cambridge, Ontario, Canada Jun 24, 2008 12 oz can. a sixer of this showed up at my local LCBO in a case of Yankee Jim Lager. my buddy beerguyryan saved a can for me but the rest were "destoyed" at the store level. pours gold with a nice white head. corny stale aromas. flavours are watery and filled with adjucts. watery mouthfeel. nothing really offensive in this one but then again there is almost nothing there. thanks for the freebie ryan! durhambeer (329), Durham, North Carolina, USA Jun 18, 2008 Updated: Jun 19, 2008Bottle. Great label that feels like a throwback. This beer belongs among the esteemed company of Schlitz, Stroh’s, Olympia, and Old Style... all keeping it old school. I have to give it some points for that. Can’t say that this beer has much flavor, but it seemed much less offensive to me than most of the cheap pale lagers out there. I dunno... I guess I just don’t have the heart to say bad things about it. If not flavorful, at least it’s refreshing on a summer night. davidCC (122), New York, USA May 22, 2008 A local bar in ny has this on tap for real cheap...and as cheap as it is its almost not even worth it.

UC is a tasty brew. A light lager with a decent head and a flavor best described as...deece.
As some other raters have written, The UC hearkens back to a bygone era, the era of our fathers and their fathers. A true poet put it thusly, "a Saturday afternoon lawn-mowing beer." Beautiful.
But because it will be a while before my generation reaches our Salad Years, my friends and I simply slam the Golden Nectar any chance we get. It’s our way of connecting to the past and preparing for the future.
Drink up. Join the Club.
