Have had this on a few occasions, and can't get into it. A macro light beer in all aspects, though it does have a slightly stronger hop profile than the usual suspects, i.e. ML and BL.

Some mild malt sweetness up front, not much else here apart from beery throughout. Adjuncts low but there, otherwise, it was pretty good for a macro.

Super weak and thin mild yellow appearance, 1/2" white head vanishes before your eyes. Aroma was water, corn, metal.

Taste actually establishes itself as a not terrible light adjunct lager. Even a mild hop note or two at most. Nothing terrible about it other than its appearance. Mouthfeel is light and highly carbonated.

Tailgate stuff, 5% abv for a light beer is actually substantial.

I remember getting this beer for $8 a 12-pack and using it in the water-bath of my BBQ smoker when I made ribs. I'd use 7-9 beers in the water-bath, so what wasn't used there was consumed with the meal.

Fond memories might make this beer rate higher than it should but maybe not. I remember it being a light beer that didn't taste light, and was still better than most of the schiessebier BMC makes (even though it is ultimately a Miller product.)

I'd like to try a bottle now... just for comparo.
