Appearance: Pours a clear, yellow body with a small, white head. Smell: Aroma of tired, stale malts, corn, and a few vegetal notes. Smells like a spoiled bag of Fritos. Taste: Sweetish, maizey taste of raw white corn. No real hop bitterness. Hints of veggies and blanched flower stems near the finish. Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation. Drinkability: A cheap, get-you-drunk beer for when your life has hit rock bottom, one that makes you think "has my life really come to *this*?" Best served wrapped in a brown paper bag.

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.
