Bottle. Pours clear yellow with floaters and white head. The floaters have me a bit concerned. Aroma is skunky hoppy and malty. Flavor is hoppy and malty sweet. Tastes a little bit like a corn dog. Not my thing. Like I said, the floaters have me worried so this is a literal drain pour.

Typical pale american lager appearence. No perticular detectable aroma, just clean as far as I can tell. Good carbonation with a decent cheap lager taste. Rather crisp and enjoyable. Finsih is quick and easy. Overall not bad for a cheap lager lover.

355ml bottle. Poured very clear and golden in colour but looked terribly thin and had no head at all - visually not very pleasing. Sudsy film of thin bubbles layered the the top of the glass and did not insoire me to jump in and taste it. Grassy and herbal hop aroma with a very fine hint of something sweet hiding in there. Had a little more substance to it than oit looked but still tasted very average - flat and lifeless..

Bottle. Pale yellow pour with small head. Aroma of corn, dust. Flavor is somewhat fruity, with light malts and corn. Extremely bubbly mouthfeel.

Bottled, thanks oh6gdx! Pale yellow, mid-sized head. Maize aroma. Sweetish and utterly bland. Suffering from lack of substance and flavour, still it manages to be cloying and mushy. No btterness.

Good sweet lager. Not spectacular, but smooth and easy to drink. very fizzy. Almost like a soda.

12 oz. (355 ml) bottle. Bottle glass has some kind of crease that looks like a re-sealed crack. Skunky under the cap, but then malty. Resolves to an okay malt smell in the glass. Deeper yellow than most beers in this category, with plenty of bubbles streaming up the sides. Effervescence is the first thing that hits here when I taste, helping to mask most of the faults listed in the other ratings. Honestly, I’m just getting a decent, lightly malted pale fizzy beer with a little bit of body. Needs a more defined hop structure. And I do get a bit of corn and skunk in the aftertaste. Maybe I did latch on to a fresh bottle in the loose bottle rack at Binny’s.

Bottled (Citymarket Sello, BB 03/2009). Pale yellow color, small white head. Skunky, grassy, corn aroma with notes of iron. Sweet corn malty flavor with metallic, rubbery and grassy edge. Quick corn finish. Fizzy carbonation. Not the most freshiest sample, but I don’t believe that this is much better when sampled fresh.
