Had this beer on 4/16/2006. Aroma has an almost dusty smell to it, reminds me of old dusty glass. Color is a bright clear gold with good carbonation and a thin head. Taste is light, smooth and sweet. Starting with a light body it goes down easy with a smooth feel. Finish comes on with a light malt flavor that is mildly sweet then ends with a faint bitterness. Other then the aroma it is a nice well balanced Pilsner.

Notes of water and rice. Very little/almost no head. A little sweet kick in the after-taste. Surprisingly not too objectionable. With the caffeine this would be a great beirut beer. Wish I had known of it back then.

12 oz bottle. Oh goody, another gimmick beer. Why am I such a sucker for this type of shit? Anyway, clear gold with a small white head. Biscuity nose with a hint of lemon and grass. Sweet biscuit flavor, too sweet, with a small grassy hit of hops. Finish is, um, absent. Seriously. Like you drank Perrier - that carbonated bubbly feeling, but that’s it. Meh. Not nearly as bad as anticipated, but still a weak ass beer.

Tasted like a Budweiser. Smelled like a Budweiser. Didn’t get a caffeine kick but don’t feel like I drank a beer. Nice novelty.

12 ounce bottle from City Market in Burlington VT, contents liberated just above fridge temperature into a Michelob glass, which is probably too good for them. Soft, creamy but very small head atop a bubbly weak golden clear body.....nose is cheap Pillsbury biscuits and warm flat old Sprite....flavor tastes like putting that Sprite and those biscuits in a blender at high speed, then straining it into a melty plastic container, leaving that in the sun for a few days, then force-carbonating it or perhaps just adding some very fizzy tonic water. Throw in a half-teaspoon of artificial lime juice and, voila! An obvious candidate for Beer of the Year.
