I've been drinking this beer for 20 years and it was pretty much all we drank in college, and I can't believe I've never reviewed it. But hey, I'll take the opportunity now. Review is from notes taken on 5/22/2013 and poured from can to a pint glass.

Appearance: Fairly dark coppery color as expected, near perfect clarity, moderately strong carbonation bubbling up to a thin wispy and incomplete skim of a head. Head died down really quickly and leaves now trace of lacing, and I know my glass is clean, so that's one of the only faults I can find with the appearance. Solid and looks like it should.

Smell: Grainy and a little toasty, slightly sweet corn. I mean, there's not a lot going on here, but it's clean and simple, and there's nothing wrong with that.

Taste: See smell. Pretty much matches it to a T. It's nothing that's ever going to blow anyone's mind, and it's probably best enjoyed while riding around on a lawn mower, but when the 12 pack is less than 10 bucks, you can't go wrong.

Mouthfeel: Pretty good, really. Body is light (compared to most beers I drink) and it's crisp and refreshing. Doesn't linger, doesn't coat, doesn't leave any nasty aftertastes.

Overall: Like mentioned earlier, it's never going to rock anyone's world or make any top beer lists, but sometimes simple and cheap is all that's necessary for a night of enjoyment. Take something for what it is and be realistic, and you too can enjoy the simple things in life.

Serving type: can

Surprised by the red color of this one. Caught my offguard as i didn't realize it was an amber. Nice look though. Clear walnut with 1 finger offwhite head. Not much retention, but decent lacing for the style.

Sweet notes to the smell, sugar, molasis, grain and pale lager malts.

Taste seems to follow nose with some added citrus and earthy hops. Husks of the grain. No astringency detected as can be the norm at times with the style.

Light body and fairly drinkable. Crisp and refreshing.

Nothing wrong with this beer as my expectations weren't all that high. An enjoyable lager that I woudln't mind having again.
