Nov 17, 2005 Can... Clear, straw-colored lager with a large, frothy, white head. Smells a bit spicy and peppery with a touch of honey. Decently balanced flavor, but tainted by a weak hop bitterness and sweetness that hits only the very back of the tongue and sticks like glue. Tastes like there are about sixty varieties of hops thoughtlessly thrown into the wort. Medium-bodied and a little oily with lively carbonation. Finishes grassy. Thanks to growler for bringing the can back from Rhode Island.

Oct 5, 2007 16 ounce can from City Market (September 2007), served at fridge temperature from a Samuel Smiths pint glass. The snowy, frothy head is immense and lasting, though it laces little as it falls into the superclear pale golden body….faint toasty aroma, a bit of dry corn, , uhhhh….excessively sweet, syrupy body, low carbonation and little in the way of malt (to go nicely with the nonexistent hops I guess)….drinkable but pointless, with a watery finish as the syrupiness fades.

Jul 1, 2005 Updated: Jul 17, 20072005 16oz can consumed on 6/30/2005. Straw yellow, clear, fizzy. Urine, if you will. Huge bubbles rapidly shooting to the top indicate this could be a carbonated voyage. Bubbles create a head, but it is only retained because there is so much carbonation that keeps surfacing. No lacing, obviously. Aroma has some peppery substance, could it be hops? Maybe a touch of corn flour, not much in the aroma, overall. Flavor begins with apple juice, bits of powdery sugar. Not as heavily carbonated as I had expected, though it still is not exactly intriguing on the tongue. Moderately watery, but moreso just bland. Really not so bad, otherwise. Some light grass notes, light sugary malt and a clean finish. Quite drinkable if I had to drink it, not that I ever would again.

Jan 26, 2006 Pours yellow with a small white head but persistent carbonation. Smells of sugar, yogurt and some vanilla. Tastes of corn flakes, grapes and some pepper. Not bad for a pale lager.

Jul 29, 2008 St. Petersburg, Fl - Shep’s Deli - 12 oz bottle. Pours a pale golden with a thin and quickly dissipating white head. Typical cheap lager aroma with with some wet paper bag notes that always reminds me of walking through a liquor store as a kid for some reason. Some honey sweetness makes its way into the flavor with a bit of grassiness. Mouthfeel is about on par with most pale lagers - thin and not very crisp. About what I expected. Would drink this over Bud Light - especially if I was in Rhode Island where it is originally from.
