UnholyBrewing (490) - Central Florida(Upper Hell), Florida, USA - SEP 11, 2008
...bottle. Poured a clear light yellow with basically no head. Low carbonation, flavors were of corn, some weird malt, and maybe a hint of some artificial tasting hops. For some reason the low alcohol content came through as a flavor, indicating this was a poorly brewed beer. Worth the rating but nothing else, luckily it was reduced to clear, and I only bought one.

Bottle shared with Hogtown Harry, Blankboy, Jerc, Mabel, and GregClow, courtesy of Greg. Light yellow, ho head. Corn aroma - not skunk, but weird. Taste follows - more corn, grain , some sort of bastardized hop combination. gain, not skunky, just odd and not very good on any level.

unclemike (1363) - Ft. Riley, Kansas, USA - AUG 13, 2008
A yellow beer with no head. The aroma is of brewmash, straws, and sweet malt. The flavor is fresh, malty sweet with notes of brewmash and a little peach. It ends on a good hop note with a slight bitterness. An above average international lager

blankboy (4287) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - AUG 6, 2008
Bottle (340ml) shared with HogTownHarry & tupalev -- courtesy of GregClow. Pours a clear very pale gold with a small diminishing white head. Aroma is skunky along with some vegetables and grassy hops -- not good. Somewhat watery flavour of light grassy hops, vegetal notes, maybe some malt and a light bitter finish. Light bodied. Just crap really.
