12 oz can served in a Heineken stein.

Not much to this beer. The aroma is quite weak, but pleasant and with no off-notes. The similar flavor is actually stronger than the aroma indicates. This is not saying much; the beer tastes about halfway between a light beer and a bland pilsner to me. Still, this is a refreshing beer, with detectable malt and hops.

O: With no significant flaws, other than a lack of flavor and character, this is a decent, thirst-quenching beer. Certainly a step up from Corona, various 'lite' beers, and their brethren, but still pretty much a typical (think macro brewer) American lager beer.

look: 3 | smell: 3 | taste: 3 | feel: 3 | overall: 3

Appearance: Medium golden color, with a small white head, which quickly faes to a dusting of white foam, and a small ring around the glass walls.

Aroma: Rather sweet with notes of caramel, bordering on candy corn, with some medicinal hop notes

Taste: Opens quite sweet, with a caramel undercurrent that lingers from start to finish. At the close of the taste, there is a slight hint of mild hop bitterness.

Mouth feel: Smooth, soft, and pleasant.

Drinkability/notes: Unfortunately, seems rather mediocre. It would benefit from a greater hop presence, and some toasted malt.

Presentation: packaged in a twelve-ounce brown glass longneck bottle, with a twist-off crown, served in a New Belgium Brewing chalice.

Thanks to woodychandler for continuing to keep me up to date with canned beers. Poured from a 12 oz. can. Has a golden color with a 1/2 inch head. Smell is mild, some grains and corn detected. Taste is light, grains, a slight bit of medicinal flavor at the finish. Feels medium bodied in the mouth and overall is about your standard adjunct lager.

This is an American Adjunct Lager? I always thought it was an all-malt. Either way, it's bland as hell. Dry and bland with a little bit of hop characteristic. Nothing to write home about and nothing to buy again. Smelled like nothing. Tasted like next to nothing. Don't know what's unique about this beer aside from it being very dry.

This is a decent beer, a pretty good basic American lager.

Pale yellow, it has a huge white head slowly-steadily shrinking to thin ring.

Aroma is the weakest point. It's light grain, apple, old military web equipment, hint of hay and soap. It's not bad but not great, either, a decent lager aroma but a bit rough, simple and crude.

Taste is much better,still a simple, basic lager but pleasant and flavourful and fairly full-bodied. It is light, sweet grain, hay, apple. It leans slightly to the sweet side with only a hint of hoppy bitterness. Feel is pretty good, not watery and slightly lively. This is a nice drinking, simple lager.

Stoney's Premium Lager

12oz can. Little to see or smell, a light macro smell. In the taste, surprisingly not bad, very faint caramel malts, rice, creamed corn, hint of hops, water. Spritzy carbonation and creamy feel. Just enough of a malt bill to keep me interested. Overall, this is an average to slightly above average macro lager. You could do worse.

A: Pours a crystal clear pale yellow color with a short lived white head.

S: Smells sour right off the bat. Sweet corn and grain and a bit of a grass aroma. Not much to say about this, to be honest.

T: Overly sweet and medicinal. Cough syrup, orange, corn tortilla, and old, decaying grain. Just not pleasing in any sense.

M: The body is light, but it sits on the tongue too long. Medium in carbonation.

D: This was pretty awful. No wonder it only costs $0.50 a can.

Poured into a New Belgium snifter

A - A bit more orange than your usual lager, one finger WHITE head and some lacing

S - Apples, pears, some spice, floral hops, rice, a bit of barley and some sweet malt

T - Fruit cup, rice, hops and malt. All very usual

M - Light, fluffy, carbonated and lingers for a bit. Sweet through and through

D - This is super easy to drink and for $3.99 a sixer of pint cans, awesome! Haha.

Final thought - If this beer werr to cost anymore, so not worth it

Found at the Gilroy California BevMo.

Clear yellow colored beer with a tall white head.

Smells sweet with a slight corn aroma. Grassy hop aroma with a slight lemon scent.

Starts out really nothing for flavor. Light grain flavor mostly corn. Slight lemon flavor from the hops. Taste, just not a lot here.

Mouthfeel is pretty much carbonated water.

Certainly easy to drink, just not any flavor here.

Mmmmm... American Adjunct Lager!

Friend left a couple of these in my fridge, so what the heck.

Pours a faint yellow color with a pretty nice big fluffy head.

Aromas are actually decent. A little sweet, corn, and some mineral hops.

Taste is really clean and simple. Crisp, light dough flavors, with a mineral like finish

Mouthfeel is ok, but kind of over carbonated.

Drinkability is pretty good. Not bad for the style, its a decent refreshing beer.

ok, remember for the style.
poured into an irish pub glassnice 2 finger snow white head that disapated fast.Oddly has excellant lacing as this one went down.Very washed out pale straw color withn decent carbonation.
The nose was pretty weak with a fair amont of corn & very little hops.
Lawn mowing beer here, thirst quencher like flavored water with some beer notes.Not much in a malty flav but with some corn for sure. No hop kick at all.
Very thin in mouth with good carbonation,by that I feel not nearly as carbed like most macro beer which is a good thing.
Hot summer work beer, I think I could start the yard work with this and go all day in 100 degree heat.

well I got this beer for the first time because theres a 30 year old bar sign of stoneys in my room. It tasted very refreshing for the first beer but they all seemed to taste the same as I drank them. About 15 beers later I wake up at 4 a.m. and had no hangover from this beer at all I actually went on a jog a couple hours later. Overall I would say its a pretty average beer though. I dont think I would drink it again though because its overpriced at 21$ for a 24 pack where I live and theres not much that realy makes it special.

Never saw this one before and decided to give it a try. Am a little amused by the claim of "all grain beer". Are there a number of beers in Pitt using dairy or veggies in their brew? Anyway, this pours a medium gold with slight head that skedaddles almost before it's out of the can. Inoffensive smelling. Enjoying with a couple of grilled hot dogs for a late lunch.

Nothing surprising with some moderate graininess and slightly metallic pilsener hop notes. The mouthfeel is also a little flatter than I'd like but the whole package together is fine, if nothing outstanding. Pretty clean finish, too. Better than the international behemoths, although not by much.
