Can, at the Moan and Dove in Amherst MA. Though I didn’t drink this from a glass (it just didn’t seem appropriate in the context), I’ll give it a "2" for appearance based on that classic 50+ year old can design. Very little nose, just a touch of dank water...moderately sweet flavor, touch of metal but actually fairly drinkable...bit of garbage as it warms, thin and watery...not good, but better than I expected, I guess.

Very golden and see through. No smell. White head. Not a very strong flavor. Very good if you want water from a can.

Pours a crystal clear golden color, looks actually half way drinkable, no real smell to mention maybe a hint of corn. tastes like nothing really, just a hint of cheap beer flavor, the posibility of schaefer light boggles the hell out of me. I don’t see how you can get lighter and less flavorful than this. Says "Proudly brewed in the United States" as an American I don’t know if that is something I want commonly known. Good session starter though, from here it can only go up. (thanks BEACONSTREET for the deep thoughts)

I’ll always have a place in my heart for this one. The story goes like this: my friends and I are in our first year of college. We decided to go tubing the Guadalupe River near New Braunsfels one weekend, and of course, we needed beer for the excursion. So, using fake IDs, we went to a Chevron store in Seguin and bought 4 suitcases of this stuff for just under $15. We finished all of them on the 3 hour tube ride (there were 6 of us). Despite bad hangovers and even worse sunburns, we enjoyed it.

12 oz can. #1 my father asks me what I’m drinking and couldnt believe it, he then starts half-singing "the one beer to have when you’re having more than one." as he walked away. #2 my brother tasted this and said "its like they made a light Coors Light". I don’t think anything else is necessary

Tasted from the nastiness that is modern swillish beer served "fresh" from a can. No comment on the aroma since I was too lazy to pour it in a glass (don’t want to contaminate my good beer glasses with the festering much that is typical boorish american piss beer). No initial flavor with a light crappy taste that isn’t offensive.

Thanks to Drew for the can... I think.. Terrifyingly clear. I can actually watch TV through a glass of this. The nose is.. pils.. light corn, sourish. Flavor is too sweet. Drew, what are you trying to do to me?
