Bottle. Skunked malt aroma. Golden yellow with large head. Flavor ? I get a bit of skunked corn malt in the finish. Almost a Corona clone but they got too much body in it.

Very light, Yellow and low carbonation. Some corn and the hint of malt sweetness. It is drinkable enough, and I could see it being ok for a warm summer day.

I found this one completely inoffensive, so it was good. Pretty much like the Corona/Corona Light. Boring and drinkable, not enough to go out of the way to get, but if it’s on sale (or with good Trader Joe’s prices) I may put a 6 pack into the cart.

Bottle. Pours a clear, yellow gold with a mild, white head. Grainy malt aroma with some corn. Flavor is sweet with more corn and some surprising booze notes. Light to medium in body with average carbonation. Finishes sweet with almost no hops and lingering malts. Nothing special but drinkable.

Pour is a bright yellow with a fizzy white head. Aroma is burnt corn with some cereal. Flavor is again with the burnt corn and a slight grain. No lime would save this beer. Awful.

12 ounce bottle from Trader Joe’s in Richmond/Short Pump, VA. Pours a clear pale yellow color. This beer reeks very strongly of skunk. Hard to detect under the skunk but there are some notes of sweet grain and corn under there. Taste is sweet creamed corn, grain and light cool whip. Fairly fizzy and thin bodied.

12 oz bottle from Trader Joes; nose is grainy and grassy; clear gold with a big white head; flavor semi-sweet grain, kind of tastes like Coors (I wonder why?)

Bottle as Trader Jose Premium Lager. NIce grassy hop aroma. Pale golden color; a very little white head that filmed. Medium mouthfeel; a bit fizzy. Light malt sweetness, and it seems to be from barley. Balanced by nice grassy bitterness. It is really good for a somewhat pale lager. It’s got a start on pilsenerhood. Long trip though.
