Pours to a golden color, with a pillowy white head that lingers throughout, and excellent lacing. Aroma is floral hops. Taste is more of the hoopy floral, with grassy taste more evident at mid-glass. Finish is dry, with lingering floral aftertaste. An okay beer, but nothing great.

(Bottled) Pale golden color with a bright white, medium, foamy head. Hoppy, but somewhat chemical aroma. Corny-hoppy flavor with little malt and some acidity. Some harsh hops in the finish. Light-bodied, quite carbonated palate. The hopping is quite original, but maybe not that enjoyable. Sure, it differs from a local bulk lager - but is it really better?

Light yellow with a white head. Sweet corn aroma. Flavor of sweet corny malt. Slightly bitter finish.

A step above Bud and Coors, but a step below Sam Adams Boston Lager and company. Still a little corny in taste. Fortunately my bottle wasn’t skunky, but I feel sorry for those people who had to deal with that. Will drink this if it’s free (it was), but never would buy it.

330ml Bottle, 5% a/v Pours light straw color with little noticeable carbonation. Small white head which quickly dicipates (sp?) Skunky aroma with some hops permeating. Taste consists of skunky hoppyness as well. Watery palate, and a nice mild aftertaste. Pretty good beer for when your feeling a little fancy.

An average choice for me at best. I thought I would like this beer more then I did. It’s not that it was bad, it just was not all that special. Corny Taste and a little bitter for my palette. I did not try it at room temp but I will go out on a limb and say that it is doubtful that it would help anything. A very plain Jane beer. Serve Cold.

Clear light golden color with a medium frothy white head. Sweet corn aroma. Corn and rice flavors with some very faint hints of hops.

Clear sparkling light amber-yellow colour. Lasting medium white head. Skunky hops scent. Mostly inoffensive corn taste with some hops, harsh afternotes. Still more drinkable than Miller Lite.
