COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
An iconic American lager famous for its rich amber color and medium-bodied flavor - with a roasted caramel malt for a subtle sweetness and a combination of cluster and cascade hops, this true original delivers a well-balanced taste with very distinct character.

Very plain beer. No strong aroma or flavors. Overall pretty boring.

Pours a clean clear copper with a thin white head. Smells of fermented old wet bread sitting in a closed garbage can and a hint of urine. Drinks sweet with the same taste as the smell with light carbonation. Better than bud or coors that’s for sure.

Pours amber with medium head. Malty frothy and delicious. A classic beer that I love drinking and one of the first things that I do when I come back to the east coast

An American Classic. A standard beer that is always reliable. Good bitterness balance for an average priced beer, but does not leave a clean palate. Full-bodied but not too filling. ---Rated via Beer Buddy

This is absolutely the best beer known to men. This was the first beer that i didnt mind chugging and not get sick. I also like to take my time and make it last forever.

Down in NC for vacation and I’ve been drinking these in between beers. And, maybe for the novelty, I’ve been enjoying them. Following the decision to rate one, I immediately regretted pouring it into a glass. It’s darker than I imagined; brown, albeit light and very translucent. It’s the smell that’s pretty rank. Smells like all the ones that you oughtta drink outta the vessel. Spent grain and carbonation - this one is missing the tin. It tastes... better than it smells. The least bit more viscosity and probably a few more scoops of grain per barrel. Which are good things. East Coast, you’ve won the ultra light & cheap lager round.

A wonderful brew! Slightly darker then most traditional lagers. Smells of roasted malts, easy drinking and great flavor with medium mouth feel.

Bottle into glass. Smells like spicy cereal. Pours golden amber with small white head. Mouthfeel is medium. Tastes like heaven in a bottle. This is my "go to" feel good grass cutting beer.

On tap at the local Red Lobster in Fort Pierce for Mother’s Day meal - and in Billy’s honor. Pours orangey-red. Aroma has malts, bread, some earthiness. Taste follows, sweet malts with a bit of fruit. Shrug? Not a good one, but one to have for Bill.

Paid $1 for a 16 oz can at Kroger. No aroma to speak of. Taste was yeast, cornflake, cardboard, with an unpleasant metallic aftertaste. Light thin body with average carbonation. Was curious to try this since it’s new to Ohio. Glad I only got one can.
