Should have stopped brewing in 1939. Pours yellow. Smells of sillage. Tastes of nothing particularly good. Meh.

it is what it is................................................

2009 Bottle - Pours darker than expected, gold, with a small white head...aroma is fresh grains and bright, no lager skunkiness to speak of...flavour is similarly crisp, ceral grains, toasty malt and a nice bitterness that lasts throughout...finished malty tasting but with a bitter bite...had this many times, but this most recent was the most enjoyable...

Bottled, Clear golden color, medium but well-visible carbonation, average white head, no lacing. Grassy nose. Aroma is light and malty. Flavour is flat and malty. Some corn must have been added here. Grainy aftertaste. I have drunken worse to get a new beer-country.

Pour from a stubby neck 12 oz bottle.. Light gold, frothy wihte head, mild but pleasant aroma of grain with a touch of hops. Flavor is light at the start with a pleasant, complex, but mild hopiiness in the finish.

This wasn’t as bad as I thought it might be...certainly better than some of the other macro lagers I’ve tried recently. Pour was light golden yellow with frothy head. Slightly grainy aroma and flavor, some sweet malt, but not cloying even when warming a little. The beer finished with a very mild bite. Not horrible.

Pours from the bottle a clear yellow with a decent white head. Aroma is light grain, sweet pils malt and a light noble hops aroma. Flavor is typical lager sweet with a light slightly grassy hops presence and a light corn/rice hint. Typical light lager; sweet, semi-grainy with not much there but better than a bud light.
