Light golden color with a light white head. Aromas of pale malt, mild DMS, and a touch of earthy hops. Flavors are grainy and lightly acidic. Need to include some history. Pigs Eye is the local name for where the wastewater treatment plant and sludge burning was located in St. Paul.

For a cheap beer this isn't too bad. I had some at a beer tasting and spoke to one of the owners who informed me they changed the hops from the original recipe and made it a bit better than it was. It does have some flavor which is decent, but could be a tad stronger in flavor but still decent. Poured medium yellow with some head that evaporated rather quickly but actually did have some lacing. Carbonation was decent as well. I wouldn't turn this down on a hot day as it could be a good thirst quencher. It's better than BMC or other ilk of that type.

Hey, it's better than Bud. Or is it? Not sure how you'd figure out, other than price, but that and whatever alcohol you'll find in this made it a trusty companion once upon a time. My rating is from the returnable bottle.
