First brewed in 1938.
It is a light alcohol drink with not too strong bitterness but rather soft taste; therefore, it's easy to drink it up.

Bottle. Pours a pale gold with a pillowy, fine-grained head. Not much nose to it; what there is is lime and adjunct. On the palate, it tastes like -- well -- beer. Nothing notable save perhaps a faint citrusy lime edge. Certainly no hops to speak of. Undercarbonated. Meh.

Not a whole lot to this beer, but it’s not terrible either. Surprisingly refreshing. Not a bad choice, as far as pale lagers go.

SanfordBrewer (1205) - Sanford, Florida, USA - NOV 4, 2010
Lucent gold, thin white head, creamy medium body, high carbonation.

Aroma: vomit and dog crap, seriously!

Taste: sweet and gross.

I know It sounds harsh, but I’m just being honest. Maybe this has spoiled in some unusual way, but this is possibly the worst beer I’ve ever had. Jamaican drainpour.

You know, it’s not really that bad. Sure, it’s not one of your fancy craft beers...but for a readily accessible beer, it’s not bad.

2010 Walt Disney vacation. yellow and clear lots of carbonation with a soapy head. Skunky malt watersome bitterness and finishes gritty and chaulky.

Gift by a friend, from a specialized beer store. It pours clear golden liquid with low white foam. The aroma is very light, with alcohol, malt and a little hops. It tastes mostly malty, with some grassy hops giving it a citron-like feeling; also a little watery. It is averagely carbonated, a little boozy, low-medium bitterness and smooth. There is a little sweetness somewhere. Its main asset is that it is very refreshing, but nothing special about this beer.
