Pours a very light yellow color that is close to water – not much head not much lacing and below average carbonation. The dominate smell is mild malt ith some hops coming through. First taste is light, sweet, and lacking in flavor - not much body at all. Not much taste. Not worth your time.

Big mofo 40 oz bottle. Golden color. Not too bad really. Better than most big name US beers. Decent hops and some malt.

Doin’ it old school. High school was fun. 40oz. glass bottles with the brown baggie. It’s a good thing when I drank these I knew nothing about alcohol. However, it does the job.

40 oz, drank straight from the bottle. Pale yellow in color. Aroma is stale malt and corn, and a whiff of alcohol. Flavor is exactly the same, and not pleasant. A bit less sweet than many of the dirt cheap malt’s, but it accomplishes exactly the same thing. Cheers!

Not sure what "an urban mind-set" is, though...

Drank this from a 40 oz. with a paper bag around it. The aroma had a nose of a renaissance festival biffy in the hot august sun. The appearance came through looking of a diabetics urine with a large frothy head. The flavor resembled camel urine and marched through my guts like a careless platoon assaulting my colon. want solid stool? don’t drink this crap. Overall, I would have to say that this is a weak effort from the olde english family. Well, I gotta go back to work.

The one and only time I drank this was from a 40oz... playing dominos and listening to rap music. It still wasn’t any good.
