really pale, almost transparent blonde, big head that disapates almost instantly. Smell is corn and grain, big hints of cheese, lightly malty but lots of cooked corn. Taste is all corn, at points its faintly malty and lightly bitter but cooked corn is everywhere in this. Mouthfeel is light and very watery, carb is really high. This was awfull I didn't get past a quarter pint before this found the drain. This is really bad even keeping style in mind.

Pale, thin, watery. Just like I remember it.
If I was given this at a party, I'd pour it on a plant.
It pretty well lacks any complexity, malt or hop. Distinct hint of corn in the nose and taste. It is however beer, and no one can take that away! Also on the upside, I had this right after mowing the lawn, and it actually hit the spot.

Light straw color, mostly see-through. Weak head, weak retention. Grainy aroma with hints of herbal hop. Mild malt flavor and lots of rice adjunct. Grassy, herbal hop and not quite enough to balance. Light bodied, coarse grainy texture, descent carbonation. Nothing special. No offensive flavors but nothing interesting either.

Rolling Rock

LOOK: Labeled as extra pale, and fits that description. Damn near clear.

SMELL: Grains, corn, straw, and coming off a bit medicinal.

TASTE: Tart grains, rice, wild yeast. This is like a gueze light. A touch of acidic hops with a garbage pail quality that somehow works here. This is my crap beer of choice when good cheap beer is not available. Cracker like malt, leafy, oily bitterness and a bit sour. Above all else, all of these flavors are very, very light. It is kind of sour, true beer aficionados may find this flavor profile comical, to say the least.

OVERALL: Kind of odd when you actually try to taste this beer. If you're not paying attention, it drinks like water. Under the microscope, it's kind of odd like mentioned earlier.
