Clear gold with a decent white head. Touch of paper and green apple. Much like the nose with a touch of honey.

Drinkable lager but not as good as I'd hoped. A bit grainy and harsh. Otherwise light, reasonable beer. Can from 5 Point Cafe in Seatte.

Drank cold from the can. Not a lot going on. Some light grain. Refreshing when cold. Bad when it warms. Does it’s duty.

From old tasting notes. Medium gold color. Fluffy white head. Light sweetish malt aroma. Light grainy malt flavor. Light dry hops in finish. Brief aftertaste. Drink it cold.

12 oz can for $2 at Sisters and Brothers, used as a fire extinguisher for some Nashville chicken. Was it worth it? Time will tell. A lot of history with this brew, so I’m at least somewhat excited to finally try this. Surprisingly, this is the first time I’ve had this beer. I really thought i would.go for.the half gallon can i see at the gas station sometimes. Someday. Didn’t pour this to a glass, because i don’t believe such behavior is allowed. Tastes like a watered down beer, with water added. The beer served its purpose for me today. Well, that’s one thing we got.

Enjoyed at the second Black Mourning Light festival when we played there. Pours a light golden colour with a white head, average retention and a little creamy lacing at the bottom. Malty nose with hardly any hops. The taste is mild and malty with cereal notes. The mouthfeel is crisp. A watery king of brew, but not offensive.

Can at The Lift. It is what is. Cheap, quenching, with a smidge of flavor. Malt makes an appearance in the taste. Drink cold for best effect.

It’s an amazing feat of modern technology when you can take pure water, add some ingredients, and end up with something lighter and less flavorful than the original water.

Stamped on the bottom of the can, it reads \"July 28, 2014.\"
I poured this into a pint glass.
The appearance was an extremely clear yellow color with fast rising carbonation feeding into the head. A vast amount of carbonated foamy clingy lacing sticks nicely to the glass as the head dies.
The smell has the cooked corn and rice but actually doesn’t come across as disgusting as some other AAL’s.
The taste is sweet through the previously mentioned smells. There is no aftertaste nor is there any finish.
On the palate, it sits fairly light and shows an exceptionally well sessionability. The carbonation sits fairly well for the style and comes across fairly smooth.
Overall, whoah, where did this come from? Finally, an AAL I can get behind. In my opinion, this blows Budweiser outa the water. I was a little surprised about this, but say to the AAL crowd seek this over Budweiser and you’ll be surprised.
