Listen, I love the United States as much as the next guy but putting the Pledge of Allegiance and the Iwo Jima flag raising on the can is a bit much. Patriotism as my grand father taught me lasts a life time, it is not to be expressed in short bursts as chanting "USA! USA!" in the face to naysayers or detractors. That being said, it does have the beautiful colors of of our Republic the red, white and blue, placed with the words "Return The Favor" in which almost looks like "Return of the Jedi" text. Duality.

It's what inside the can that matters after all and this beer is not bad. It is not good, but to be honest I was gifted this and I was expecting a joke of a beer but I was wrong. I take that back, it is a good beer. Good being relative to average. It is better than any BMC which are the true parody beers. I would definitely purchase this on my own accord, I wouldn't travel miles upon miles but the taste and mouthful are decent enough to consider a second look. Amber Beer is on the label and I can definitely taste that and I do not mind supporting the VFW, but for heaven's sake can you get rid of the Pledge of Allegiance on the can. Come on!

For 3.95/6 pk, quite drinkable. Amber, 112 cal. Good COLD! Drinkable warmer. Good with orange or lemon slice. Not great, not awful but I like trying different beers. The price is right and I think this will be a great beer for the summertime when you want something cold and fizzy. I get this at a grocery located close to an AF base and VA hospital. This is my 2nd 6 pk. May even buy a case. Better than Keystone Light, Nat. Light, or Busch Light. Flavor not strong or sweet. Nothing jumps out but then I don't like hoppy beers. I think it's a good basic beer. Worth trying.

"America's Best for America's Best" ...MURRICA!!

This beer fits about as much patriotic schtick that can fit on a can. Pledge of allegiance? Check. Iwo Jima? Check. Random patriotic sloganeering? Check. Brewed by City Brewing, LaCrosse WI? Check.

Pours a slightly dark saturated orange color, high clarity with a fluff of foam on top that fades quickly (and audibly) to a broken skim across the surface. Some random and very sparse lace on the sides.

Smells like alcohol and grape juice, likely a wine yeast to jack up the abv, a la malt liquor.

Apple flavor with a lightly astringent bite and some lingering sweetness. Soggy grains and wet saltine crackers. The carbonation peters out and it starts tasting like dishwater. Slick and bland, flaccid. Weak sauce, but a great ironic novelty can.

Thanks for this one Gilly!
