From a 500 ml bottle purchased at "Keller’s IGA" while returning home from subbing at U.C. - This one pours a golden liquid with a tall white head and a faint malty aroma. Tastewise, it’s just a bland, below-par lager... screw it. At least it was on sale for 99 cents per 500 ml!

Can. Pale, pale yellow colour with a medium creamy mostly diminishing white head. Weak malty aroma, if any. Not much taste in a watery body. No surprises here

Can. Pale yellow. Nice creamy head - but it fades quickly. Medium carbonation. Very watery. Average lager.

From the bottle, pours a semi-hazy, pale golden color with a very thin, white head. Smells of corn and grains, like a bad macro. Tastes the same. Corny, grainy flavors, lightly malty, and not much more. Meh.

out of the bottle pours the slightest bit foggy honey-wheat hue with a barely there white head and minimal carbonation. aromas of citrus and corn. tastes of honey, lemon, corn and sweet malts. light on the palate. its not bad for a very light beer. the corn aftertaste is a bit overwhelming and poorly balanced but I would have this again and I wouldn’t protest to having another. a tad bit bland below average but not bad.

Oh so bland! Pours a clear golden colour. Leave a small creamy head that too rapidly disapear. I guess we can call it refreshing... But that doesn’t save the day.

Not excessively offensive in any way, which is as much positivity as I can seem to summon on this drink. Substantial carbonation helped distract my tongue from some of this drink’s basic shortcomings, such as distinct corn syrup sweetness and semi-sour aftertaste.... But all in all, OK.

Picked this one up not knowing what to expect. After opening the bottle, the aroma made me second guess my choice. Still, the taste redeemed it slightly. Reminiscent to white grape juice, and, well, water. Lots of carbonation. Rather unexciting, but not offensive. I’d prefer it to almost any of the generic beers, but not something I’d get again. Pass on this one unless it’s the only alternative to Bud at a party.
