12oz can. Thin, pale yellow color meets $3.99 6-pack price tag...uh oh. Hmm..actually not so horrendous. Adjuncty grain bill never brutalizes, and there is some discernable hop balance. Watery and thin, but pretty good for the budget beer it is.

Can. Ultra pale straw yellow with a soap sudsy quickly fading topper. Aroma of slight noble hops, malt and cereal grain. Taste of malt, apple and mild noble and floral hops. Highly carbonated and tough to choke down.

Awful. I dont have a clue what awards could possibly have been won with this. You might as well just go buy some Natty Light. PBR is a step up. Canned, free at a party in MN.

Can poured a clear yellow with a diminishing white head. Aromas of corn and light straw. Palate was light bodied and smooth with a watery finish. Flavors of corn and a hint of straw with a smooth clean watery finish.

Look at the description. Do you see all those wonderful hop varieties listed there? You would think that something...SOMETHING... in the way of hop character would awaken the senses on the palate. No. Corny, grainy, sweet, bland, watery.

Canned. Poured clear, extra-bright golden with a 1/2" cap of white head and a little rising carbonation. The had sweeter honey and corny notes with a touch of citrusy hoppage coming through.. a little bit of warmth brought out medicinal and near-vegetal off notes. The flavor opened with honey and corn sugars with little real bitterness around (did get some sour lighter fruit and medicinal notes, though).. finished dry with pale malts and sour citrus. Light-bodied with heavier carbonation on the palate.. didn’t flow very well, nor were there a lot of components to be excited about. P.S: This was not skunked.. it just wasn’t a very good beer.

Poured a crystal clear pale gold color with a scant, fizzy white head. The aroma was decent, sweet sugars and very light spice. The flavor was a disappointment as apparently they mixed some ass into the recipe. I didn’t care for the ass flavor. It didn’t mix well with the bready, sweet and lightly spicy brew. Thin mouthfeel. Meh to the extreme.

This poor excuse for a beer poured an extremely light goldeny yellow color. Once again, yellow dye number 4 would have added more color to this beer. This beer was headless in a hurry with a corny, stale hop aroma. I mean this stunk! Flavor-wise we are absolutely not missing much. Very watery and extremely light bodied with no carbonation at all hardly. It’s almost as if I was drinking grass....it tasted green man!!!! Thin and dry, never again worth my time!
