Amber color with no head. Aroma of corn and very dry chocolate. It actually smelled pretty good, but... it tastes like a bucket of rainwater with a half pound of grain and corn left in it for a hot August weekend.

12oz bottle acquired in trade with ughsmash - thanks! Poured a lighter to medium and clear amber color with a smaller sized off white head. Aromas of grains and corn. Tastes of grains, lighter caramel, and lighter corn.

I thought this was going to not be a good beer, but I gave it a shot and what good try by miller. I thought for it being a lite beer and made for the main stream they did a great job. I would not buy it again, but if someone wanted to start trying out different beers this would be cool for them to give shot

05-Mar-08 (12-oz bottle, Best by 05-May-08: BevMo in La Jolla, CA) Wow, this amber-colored beer is stunningly clear in the glass, and the steady rising of carbonation bubbles is picture perfect, but if only the head were taller and comprised of smaller bubbles, this would be a gorgeous beer. Unfortunately, the head also dissipates rapidly down to a thin ring, and soon, that’s gone too. The nose smells adjuncty, sweet like a generic pale lager, though there is a hint of caramely malt that could just as easily be the result of imagination. Bordering on a Vienna style, the flavor starts out with cereal and vaguely caramely malt, but is decidedly not sweet. The dry, adjuncty, bready finish tastes a little like minimally sweetened cereal, close to Cheerios if recollection serves, though it’s been awhile since I’ve had that cereal. Light in body but not totally watery, and carbonation is medium. Overall, it’s not a very good beer, but it’s okay for a "light" beer and is certainly an improvement over regular Miller Lite.

Considering what it is and what it is attempting, it is not bad. Kind of reminds me of a hoppier Molson Canadian. For a "light beer" not bad.

Thanks to Bob for the bottle. Poured clear coppery amber with a short-lived cap of white head. The aroma picked up medium-skinned, candied fruits with way too much artificial sweetener employed.. caramel and corny sweetness not far behind.. warmth brought out the pale malts.. no hint of hoppage. The flavor was similar with corn, honey, and Splenda-ed up redder fruits at the core.. fell off mightily fast on the finish with wet grains and grass joining a fleeting glimpse of dried fruit. Light-bodied and watery at times on the palate.. dry with highter carbonation.. not too much going on.

Thanks for sharing, HighGravity! I mean that from the bottom of my heart. Clear amber, creamy white head. Light toasted grainy aromas with the slightest touch of chocolate. Flavor matches aroma spot on. Thin and watery with light carbonation. At least it’s non-offensive...
