Nice dark golden in color, foamy head. Bland metallic taste with not much else going for it. Slight medicinal aroma. Other than that, this beer doesn’t have much going for it but at least its drinkable (but just barely).

Bottle. Pours clear yellow, white head. Aroma is malt, ketchup, hops. Flavor is the same. Pretty gross.

Appearance: Pale gold, clear, wet white head with poor retention and no lacing. Aroma: Faint with corn, toast, and a surprising hint of hops. Flavor: Not as corny as most macro lagers, but still nothing "especial." Toasty, mealy malt with some adjunct character. Palate: Fizzy and burpy and thin. Par for the macro course.

This is an OK beer. Light pale ale in color... I drank it out of the bottle. It has a slight tingly palate. It has a pretty good flavor sort of a corona/heineken mix. Will have again, but certainly not a favorite.
