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

Very light golden color, lots of carbonation and not much aroma. This beer has a surprisingly refreshing flavor for not having any standout qualities.

Smell is mildly hoppy. Taste is the same, albeit faint on the hops. Expensive as hell and not worth the price, but if your into trying new beers its not terrible.

Very surprised to see such a light pale color on the pour, guess I previously drank from the bottle, has a good inch of foamy white head, has that very distinct sweet lager smell, crystal clear beverage, awful flavor, a couple sips then swigs diminished the head. I’m feeling a drain pour here

This beer had a malt nose with no discernible hops. The flavor was pretty much the same without being either bitter or sweet. In a world of polarized beers this one is the "moderate", and will definitely not appeal to the neo-beer-snob crowd who like ales and dark beers that hit you like a truncheon. Nevertheless, I found it to be refreshing and the kind of beer you can drink all day in the hot sun while inebriation quietly and pleasantly sneaks up on you.

Poured from a bottle into a frosted Lager glass. Poured a golden color with medium carbonation. Slight bitterness with what tasted like a hint of black licorice. Slightly hoppy with gentle sweetness. Pretty decent.

05-Nov-07 (12 oz bottle: BevMo in La Jolla, CA) Pours golden-yellow and perfectly clear, so the few dozen streams of carbonation are plainly visible. Grainy aroma with some corn initially, the beer is also on the honey sweet side. After a few minutes, cardboard begins to emerge in both the flavor and nose, and now that seems to be what I’m noticing the most, especially in the finish. Light bodied, but not watery. Medium carbonation. Not refreshing except when immediately out of the fridge. Half-inch white head settles to a thin ring. Overall, honey-sweet adjuncts and cardboard -- not exactly a winning combination, but I’ve definitely had worse pale lagers.

pour is golden with small off-white head, lively carbonation. smell - faint, grain, slightly fruity, wet leaves. taste - bland, slightly sweet, a bit of grain, the commercial description is pretty spot on, "...light alcohol drink with not too strong bitterness but rather soft taste; therefore, it’s easy to drink it up.", therefore it is only for getting drunk. not much here but not disgusting, i was able to drink it (as if it was water). :O)
