24 oz can poured (sadly) into an Imperial Pint. 23 May '09. [Really, I don't think this beer being fresh will help change my rating.]

A - Pale clear yellow straw color with a big white effervescent head with no retention or lacing. Think layer and ring are all thats left.

S - Sweet corn with grains, straw, and rice. Doesn't resemble what a real beer should be in the least bit. In fact, the more I smell it, the more offensive it becomes.

T - There is so little flavor here it's astonishing. Rice and dry straw with a dry finish comprise this terrible, terrible beer.

M - Slick, super light, and fully carbonated. Nothing unusual but very standard for this style.

D - Despite it's terrible smell and flavor, or lack-thereof, it would wash wings down easily for a frat-boy in need alcohol in any form. Unfortunately, I'm not a frat-boy. Just awful.

This beer is horrible. Tastes like battery acid. I had this and a miller lite side by side. The miller was miles better than this. This is the worst of the cheap beers, and one can also assume that means it is the worst beer on the market, which it is. Horrible beer which only is sold for high school and college partys. Rest assured though this beer does its job: to get people drunk and laid.

Poured from bottle into a pint glass

Appearance- The beer pours a straw color with a big billowy white head that fades very rapidly. After the head fades the brew leaves almost no lace on the side of the glass.

Smell- The aroma is heaviest of corn and a little bit of a caramel malt. Mixed with these is a light alcohol aroma as well.

Taste – The taste starts out rather sweet of corn and caramel with a little bit of a bready backbone. As the taste advances it brings a mild flavor of cardboard to the tongue which grows even stronger as the brew warms over time. With the cardboard taste, so too comes some notes of caramel, which help balance them out slightly. In the end an overall sweet corn slightly off, yet still crisp flavor is left to linger on the tongue.

Mouthfeel – The mouthfeel is on the medium side in terms of thickness and creaminess with a carbonation level that is on the average to slightly above average side. Not bad for the style as it still maintains good drinkability, but a slightly thinner body and higher carbonation may have matched the flavor profile a bit better.

Overall – Rather average adjunct lager. Nothing to offensive but nothing too great- it gets the job done.

12-oz can into weizen glass

A - 1 finger of pure white bubbly head atop a crystal-clear body of straw yellow; moderate amount of rising carbonation

S - corny grain smell, alcohol; not much to it

T - adjunct grains and alcohol; alcohol warms the finish

M - light body, high amount of fizzy carbonation, quite refreshing

O - It's an adjunct lager--you know what you're getting. Nothing special, just a fizzy beer with a low price tag and a decent bang in the alcohol department. Not a great brew, but sure hits the spot after a few hours of yard work.
