Pours slightly hazed gold with a short, weak, off-white head. Aroma is very faint....straw/grass and water. Taste is mostly carbonated water and malt. No bad flavours really, but what taste there is, is so light as to be nearly non-existent.

No aroma. Crystal clear golden, medium head, poor retention. Absolutely flavorless. seltzer water with just a tiny bit of color. Bleh.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a pale straw color with a small white head that faded quickly. The aroma was faintly dry. The flavor was dryish, grainy, lightly tangy and corny. The finish was very short. Inoffensive but nothing substantive to it.

Single bottle from Total Wine. Light corny aroma with a slight noble hop lilt. Pale golden color with a white head that flattened fast. Near medium body with creamy fizzy carbonation. The flavor is not corny, rather light noble hop and light pale malt. Finish is much the same, but has a very slight herb/grass note. The bitter is better than many macros.

Ubiquitous pale yellow american lager appearance. Typical lager flavors with some citrus. Above average enjoyable carbonation. Some hay in the aroma. Pretty much as described except for the ’most advanced evolution of light beer’. Not offensive. Cannot detect much alky, if any.

12 oz. bottle. Poured into a Sam Adams glass: I want to give this a fair chance to impress me. Pale, straw-yellow body under pillowy head that’s "gone in 60 seconds." Smell of skunk and oxidation. First taste is kind of sour and pissy, with old banana in the background. No improvement as I drink further down. Just stays watery, sour and bad-coffee bitter instead of hop bitter. Not much malt to find. From the loose bottle rack at Sam’s Wines in Downers Grove.

2005 or early 2006 bottle consumed on 2/22/2006
Crisp, dry yeast bite rises up from the glass upon first pouring, with just the slightest hint of weakly grassy hops (very dry). Completely clear, yellow-gold body, with a white head that immediately fizzles to ring. Light dough in the nose as well. Papery, somewhat, with some carbonic acid.
Flavor is seltzery as well, touch of salt, very papery and with the faintest touch of soft flowers on the end. Don’t get any off-flavors, but some rice syrup-like flavors are present on the end. As it warms and breathes, some waxiness begins to build on the end. The more it warms, the more it begins to fail. Wateriness that is present from the start takes hold as the vapidly large bubbled carbonation begins to loosen. Not by coincidence, I don’t think I’ve mentioned the malt yet. I guess there is brief dried white dough. Light bitterness, if you could call it that, on end. No aftertaste, clean finish.

Peppery or dusty, somewhat grassy hop aroma, maybe cobwebs? Seems like notes of rice. Very bland, very much like water, with almost no discernible hop or malt notes - I’ve had several pale lagers recently, and have become rather attuned to them - this is the emptiest of all the ones I’ve tried of late. Very weak, watery finish. A vague sweetness around the middle as I get deeper into it, but that’s it. Straw gold, weak head.
