Beer for the masses. No aroman diacytl in the flavor. No redeeming qualities. Macro lager looking pour

jjuf1853 (951) - Land O Lakes, Florida, USA - JUN 7, 2011
Draft at WOB (Land O Lakes). Pours a crystal clear yellow with almost zero head. Nothing special about the aroma or flavor really, but better than some of the macros out there.

markwise (2696) - North of Tampa, Florida, USA - MAR 9, 2011
On draft at the Shipyard Emporium. Pours a clear yellow with a small white head. Nose is corn, grain, lager, and miscellaneous hops. Flavor is similar- this one wears its heart on its sleeve.

Ibrew2or3 (4699) - Phoenix, Arizona, USA - MAR 1, 2011
Poured up on tap at the Orlando Shipyard Emporium with clear gold body and white head. The aroma has full fresh grainy goodness right off as well as a mild level of floral hops and really little else. I dig the crisp graininess and that the floral is a bit subdued. The taste has grainy malts along with a wort like character as well as slight floral hoppiness and a sense of yeastiness coating a wafer thin layer in the mouth.

Pours gold with a white head. Smells and tastes of toasted malt and earthy. A decent sessionable beer.

Headbanger (2072) - Aurora, Illinois, USA - JAN 2, 2009
12oz bottle (Bodega Blue Artisan Cheese). This pours a medium golden with a small white head. Aroma of hops, malts, and grains. Taste of grains and a little malts with some slight hops. This light bodied brew is not bad for a light.

urnamesucks (92) - New York City, New York, USA - AUG 20, 2008
Introduced to me at Federal Jack’s as Goat Island Light. Very light. A summer time drinking beer for all day sessions. I would rather be bombed by 1:15p.m. and drink stout than a case of this.

Had this beer at Federal Jack’s on draft. I can only say it was a good as the Beast, which is a compliment if you are drinking light beers.
