1.5 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20
Loses a point just for changing the label. No, it likely can not afford it. Light straw color with a wispy white head that disappears quickly and never to be seen again. Sweet aromas of white grape juice and just a hint of floral hops. Thin and fizzy feel. Quite sweet in flavor with more floral and perfume flavors than malt and hops. Actually tastes like a thin and weak malt liquor. Very late in the linger some malt is present and is quite pleasant, but I need that in the flavor. Loses some history with the label change, but marketing is marketing and pretty sells. Oh wait, maybe if it was good beer as well it would sell.

From a can. Very light yellow color. A large head that dissapates quickly. A slightly skunky aroma of grass and dirt. The taste is a light dirt and carrot. Not much else. Not too offensive.
2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
Sampled at ABR 07 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Pours a clear pale straw brew with a fast dissolving white head that leaves behind a thin white ring. Aroma of bready malt and a touch of citrus zest hops. Taste is light bodied, well-carbonated with a light bready malt and a touch of citrus zest bitterness. Finish is slightly metallic, a hint of citrus bitterness and then clean finish. Man, I sure miss the Minnesota Brewing Company’s version.

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.
0.6 AROMA 1/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 1/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 2/20
Kind of a skanky, not skunky, aroma. No taste worth mentioning. I was hoping it wouldn’t kill me, and it didn’t. Woo hoo.
1.7 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
(12oz can thanks to swalden28) clear pale yellow with decent bubbles. Nose of skunk, corn and sugar, nasty! Taste of old grain mash, sugar, alcohol, buttery with a cola-like soft carbonation.
1.2 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 4/20
Sampled at the 2009 Great Nebraska Beer Festival. The beer has a huge color difference versus pigs eye lean. This is dark gold with a thin white head. Has a strange aroma of male hogs. The beer is not as disgusting as the lean, I suspect there is lots of corn or rice here. The finish is metallic.
