Typical American pale lager. Pale yellow in color with a minimal white foamy head. Corn like taste with little aroma. It’s a bland beer that neither tastes bad nor good. I tried this because of it’s nostalgia factor. I(and old time Patriot fans) remember that the New England Patriots used to play in "Schaefer Stadium"(since replaced by Gillette Stadium) many years ago.

Leighton (3578) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - SEP 14, 2010
Can. Pours yellow with a fizzy white head, which dissipates quickly. Malty aroma with corn and grain. Similar flavor, with sugary grain dominating. No bitterness to speak of, almost. Light bodied with fizzy carbonation. Finishes short, crisp and clean with some lingering sweetness. Drink this fella quickly and you’re fine. Good stuff.

White foamy head, dissipates quickly . Smells of corn and pungent straw-like odor. Slightly bitter, tastes of cheap -- straw with metal.. OK mouthfeel. Not good.

UPDATED: NOV 8, 2010 For a detailed review check Otakuden below. Had this back in the day, sadly. One of America’s oldest they say. Also one of our worst.Clear yellowed straw. Tight, white foam. Light carbonation.

Can. Light gold with a thin head. Corny with lighter notes of straw and a touch of sweetness. This is the beer to have when you’re having more than one right? Yeah, I only had one.
