Gold body with a large white head, for once... not a urine colored Pale Lager. Not too bad on the aroma, some light hops in addition to the corn, better than 90% of the BMC stuff out there. Taste is harsh, not very smooth, corn is very prevalent. Dry and bitter ending.

A very pale lager.The skunky aroma overpowers the hops. It is a bit crisp but again the hops are not really a good quality to taste right. A dry grain flavor is most apparent with a bit of bitter finish.

This is a good lager. Green-bottle-skunkiness aside (Heineken, Stella Artois), there is a crisp bite and refreshing swallow. Very drinkable. Often on sale where I live for as little as $3.99 a sixer. Great deal.

grassy hay aroma, border line skunky smell. The taste is different a bit different from most pale lagers, but in a bad way. Why do people drink this stuff?

Another world-wide boring pale lager that really just doesn’t taste that good. Somewhat of a pilsner taste with some grassy hops, but this was more watery than malty (had to have corn in it). The pour was golden swill yellow with a very small head. Nice light mouthfeel if you’re cutting grass (which I wasn’t), but other than that.... no good.

The aroma is light with some malt and grain. The color is a very pale, clear yellow with a white head. Light flavor with an astringent finish.

(04.13.06) 1 pint, 9.4 oz green bottle from Golden Eagle, Libertyville, IL. 5% ABV. Bottle labeled A010706. Poured clear golden yellow with large white head. Good carbonation. Sweet malt and grassy aroma. Medium bodied New Zealand lager that starts dry with nutty/malty flavor. Finished dry with light malt fade. Very little hop presence. Decent drinkable lager for washing down food. Nothing special.
