12oz bottle, pours a clear yellow with little head, smells skunky and doesnt taste much better.. I thought I mightve gotten a bad 12 pack but from what Im reading from past entries, that nasty musty bitter carbonated taste is par for the course.. by far the worst beer I have rated and maybe the worst lager I have ever tasted. I cant infer anything from this beer besides a watery skunky mix of macro chemicals.. not good not good at all

Pours a very pale yellow. Aroma and taste of skunk and corn. Nothing better than domestic offering, but more expensive.

(330 ml bottle from <A HREF=http://www.ratebeer.com/Place/maine/augusta/l target=blank>Lou’s Beverage Barn) Pours clear very pale yellow with a pillowy white head. Aroma is quite skunky at first but as head recedes it turns to honeyish malt. Mouthfeel is fairly smooth, a little prickly, a decent amount of heft for the style. Foamy, unattractive sheets of lacing inside of glass. Flavor starts off primarily as honeyish malt with a little bit of bread - not bad, almost reminding me of a heller bock. Light bitterness overlays and gives a little bite. But I am bothered towards the end by hints of skunkiness. A pretty tasty beer for the style that is marred by the skunk.

Let’s ignore the ridiculous name, they could have just called it Beermug. This is a subpar lager, with a somewhat skunky taste and aroma. Just stick with whatever domestic you like.

11.15oz bottle: pours with a nice head that last a long time for the type of beer. aroma is like a cheap macro. dark yellow in color. flavor is pretty generic macro flavor with just a slight off taste. overall this beer doesnt have a whole lot going for it other then being brewed in new zealand. flavor isnt bad like most big american macros but does have just a slight off taste.

330ml bottle.
Pours clear hay yellow with a medium white foam head. The Aroma is barely there but what you can manage is skunky and sour. Feels and tastes veery thin and watery. Average lager flavour but weaker. Finishes sweet. Not great.

The color is a light pale yellow color. The smell is slightly skunky with a bit of floral. The taste is slightly skunky with a clean and crisp finish. Taste good with pizza.
