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.

12 oz. bottle. Pours a clear straw color with a small white head. The light aroma is pale malts, corn, and a hint of hops. The flavor is mildly sweet, light caramel malt, corn, and light honey. This was however ok with food which helped a bit.

Pours clear yellow with about two fingrs of stark white rapidly dissipating head. A typical macro odor, except a tint of hops. There is the taste of malts and a slight sweetness to it. Of all the macro, readily available beers, its better than your Buds or Millers out there. It’s...beer. Hurray beer?

A slight variation of an American macro lager. Pale yellow color with quickly disappearing white head. I main thing that sets this beer apart from its competitors is the bottle.

12 oz stubby bottle from Roth’s. I have not had this since our 10th anniv in Jamaica. Well before i started drinking craft beer. So not likely this is going to be as good as i recall lol. Pours a clear gold with a large head, Nose of subtle corn and malted barley. Quite nice actually. Taste is a typicaly pale lager but a bit better than most. High carbonation. Good backyard beer.

Hate beers that look like someone peed in my glass. Stings the nostrils and the back of the tongue. Only reason it’s this high is their excellent slogan: Hooray Beer! Cept this isn’t beer.

Pours a clear lemon yellow with white head that dissipates to a thin layer. Aroma is light and citrusy. Flavor is extremely light hops with light citrus notes. Body is light with medium carbonation. If you want a cheap summer/party beer, buy it.

Had it at the Carribean fest in Windsor Ontario. Pours a yellowish/light brown colour with a large white head. I was eating it with Jerk chicken and rice, so it went wonderful with the combination. This beer has a nice malty aroma with a sweet taste. I also liked the stubby bottle...
