.8 because it doesn’t taste any worse than i’d expect it. in fairness it probably merits a .5, but i’ve had beers that i expected to be bad, like the elephant, and then were much much worse. this doesn’t have adjuncts or anything. so, i guess my point is pure water would get a 1.0 for me if i was rating it as a beer.

After drinking North Coast Old Raspututin and Ommegang Abby Ale, this beer had a skunky smell and taste. This beer might be good on a hot Florida day next to a pool.

I drank a free sample of this at a convention I was working. You can’t beat the price, or can you? It was in a plastic cup and deserved to be; it had a pale, bilious yellow color with a hint of green in it and looked like nothing so much as a urine sample from someone who was not in the best of health. A few small, fizzy bubbles in the body, as in a ginger ale, but there was little carbonation overall. It was at least cold, which I guess was something. There was almost no head left, of course, but there was some slight lacing from it. The aroma was very faint, but there was a hint of apple in it that wasn’t too bad. This was the beer’s best feature, actually. Very, very thin and watery on the palate. The taste was bland and nearly invisible; it ’tasted’ like a watered Bud, if you can imagine such a thing. Not a trace of hops. Alcohol hum very weak, disappeared almost immediately. Boy, was this bad. I felt sorry for the guy who was talking it up at the counter, he seemed like too nice a sort to be pimping for AB. This was being promoted, by the way, at a convention for old people. Maybe AB thinks that old folks are too dim to drink anything good.

UPDATED: SEP 13, 2007 From bottle : Its been said by just about everyone, it tastes like and feels like water. Its awful.

This is a beer that is overly hyped and just doesn’t meet the standard. It is a decent beer with a crisp taste but I get the same crispness from cold water.

For all of the hype I am saddened by how this one came out. It is lighter than light and the only ones who drank it were at the golfcourse, and most of them have went to soething else. VERY WATERY.

Is this water? I swear it is. And how the hell does this have 4.2% alcohol? Ridiculously flavorless. If you are a guy and you drink this you either dont like beer taste or you are gay.

my girlfriend left a 1 pint, 8 fl. oz. bottle in my fridge (and no, that is not some lame excuse, i give every beer a chance). what can i say? because of the size i had plenty of time to think about this beer. it’s a sweet, pale yellow, watered down brew that doesn’t offer a whole lot except for low carbs. i’m sorry, i’m not sure that i want to finish this.
