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

Light straw color; Light to medium creamy body; Aroma & flavor of sweet malt, hops, and grain; Fairly bland; Overall, in the same category as Corona for me - but slightly better.

A first, a little funny in the taste - but after some of them - a normaly beer - mild in the taste, and easy to drink a lot off. A fine OK beer.

womencantsail (3572) - Home of Rebecca Black, California, USA - OCT 17, 2010
A: The pour is a clear golden straw color with a fluffy white head. The retention is actually somewhat decent. S: Big time adjuncts on the nose. Lots of corn with some nondescript grain aromas. Some grassy notes along with a bit of a skunkiness. T: Very mild grain flavor with plenty of sweet corn. There is actually a bit of hop character here, providing a bit of grass and spice. A bit of a surprise for this type of beer. M: The body is light, not shockingly, with a fairly high level of carbonation. D: As far as adjunct lagers go, this is definitely toward the top end of things. Not terrible at all, and heck, even the light version is pretty decent.

UPDATED: OCT 17, 2010 Overly carbonated but not too unpleasant. Bit of hop character with vaguely interesting spicyness but overall another unremarkable pale lager. Had it from a can which probably didn’t help.

~Strong sour cidery green apple aroma with some wet hay. ~Pours clear golden yellow color with small white head. ~Sweet Grainy corn flavor sour green apple. ~Med body, med CO2, Sweet grainy finish, some sour tinge at very end. ~WTF! Beers like this piss me off. It is worst than MGD yet it cost more. Uneducated think that they are getting a better beer, but this is shit. Acetaldehyde all in it. Hello hangovers!

garza (460) - Oslo (NO), Caracas (VE), VENEZUELA - OCT 6, 2010
Classic yellow colour with minimal foam. Far malt aroma with some corn. Light bitterness with some sweet notes. Very refreshing. Some little dry finish. Average lager but in the good kind.

Pours pale yellow with white head, aroma is some corn, sweet grain, and a touch of grass. Taste is sweet with corn, cereal, grass and a sweet biscuity finish. Pretty good pale lager, has some taste.

When it comes to the flavor there is little to talk about. I get a little grass and a little grains. There is nothing that stands out. It’s has a pretty thin feel too it. It has the typical lager smell with a little malty aroma and some sweetness. So basically boring Pours a pale yellow color with a quick disappearing white head. No lacing here and little amount of carbonation. It finishes clean and crisp. If you are drinking beer for the sake of drinking beer than this might be your choice. The little stubby bottle is probably the best thing about this beer. As far as lager’s go this is an ok attempt
