Light gold colour. Fairly fresh grainy aroma with light fusel notes. Lots of fusel notes on the palate, though. Otherwise a little grainy, watery. Fairly plain, inoffensive, sweetish corn lager. Fun to try, if for no other reason than to say I did. Thaks, Slob!

Technically, it’s a beer.

12oz can-pours a diminishing white head with yellow/pale yellow color. Aroma is grain, husky. Taste follows with a nice light/spicy hop backbone. Crisp. Good carbonation.

Now that is really a nasty brew....beer....or "beer"...it really can not be called beer for sure as there is not enough malt in it for that! Dirt cheap though. Weak yellowish colour, metallic aroma, no head what so ever, flat cheap flavour with a hint of some metal and something uncomfortable. Best when really cooled! Nasty, nastier, nastiest.......Schaefer.

Chugged at a college reunion from the keg. Watery easy drinking the way college beer should be. Wouldn’t have it any other way.

Very poor beer. Tastes like a combination of dishwater and dilute lemonade. Not worth it at any price.

Bottle from the Otown throwdown. I forgot there were actually 4 joke beers and this one was tied as the best...but still undrinkable to me. Grainy, corn, old faded hops. Yuck.
