Faint hoppy smell of general beer. This beer has a notable sweetness to it, which isn't bad. Some hoppy, grainy flavors, and some swigs had an occasional metallic twinge to them. Mouthfeel fairly thin. More drinkable for washing down food or on a hot day than just sitting around having one.

I dig the stubby bottle and the advertising campaign. This is fairly average though. Reviewed within American Macro Lager, I suppose it's all right. I won't go out of my way though.

Poured a 330ml bottle into a Shaker pint glass.

A- pours a light and clear gold with about one finger of almost creamy white head. The head lingers on but doesn't leave any lacing.

S- some sweet notes of malt or bread. But more or less non-descript

T- Again, some malty sweetness but very little else. No depth and nothing distinct about it.

M- not bad. A nice fuller feeling, not watered down. A nice hint of carbonation

O- not the best but certainly not the worst

Used to drink it a lot, in some particular bars a long time ago. Let’s see how it goes now.
Pale yellow color with a decent head with medium retention.
Aroma of corn and pale malt, and notes of vanilla. I would not say it is pleasant.
Refreshing and crisp taste, strong corn taste and very light floral hops. Buttery aftertaste.
Light body with a good carbonation.
After so many years, I now erased completely the good old impressions over it. It is really an average or even bad brew, you have to drink it freezing cold and ignoring its aroma.
