24 ounces of liquid goodness. Drank from the can, so I have no idea what it looks like. Let’s assume a golden color:) A grainy sweet adjunct nose. Initially this is pretty fruity with berries and some sugar, later more earthy malts and dirty water. Not too warm but a bit of heat. Does the job fine.

24oz can from stfun for FBW hunger games challenge. Thanks! Pours a clear gold with some fizzy white head. Aroma of some slightly rotton apples, grains, some cotton candy, and a little lakewater. It honestly kinda smells like one of the local apple orchards in the fall...weird. taste is light sweet. Cotton candy and fermenting green apples with a little cereal grain. Medium bodied with a slightly sticky but still quite smooth texture. Lively carbonation and a surprisingly long finish. Overall, not bad. Ive had much worse out of this catagory.

24oz can pours clear gold with frothy off white head. The aroma is sugary sweet, caro syrup, cider, chemical booze and a touch of nose searing heat at the end of the draw. The taste is sweet apple and pear along with a cider like sensation and giving way to corn flakes and sweet chemically booze. This is tough to drink without a meal to hid the over sweet roughness of this thing. Still nothing horrible going on here though.

Pours a crystal clear deep straw bordering on golden color with a good two finger bubbly white head that shows some decent staying power and lace. Yup looks like a macro lager all right. Smells of sweet grainy malt with faint wisps of creamed corn and alcohol. Smells a little better than I thought it would. Taste is kind of what I expected, sweet grainy malts with maybe a hint of cherry or apricot. Really! Bitter alcohol burn into the finish. Lots and lots of bubbles, medium body with a sweet slick mouthfeel. Honestly if they put some hops in here it wouldn’t be half bad. As is this serves its purpose, a cheap quick drunk. I do enjoy purchasing 24 oz of 8.5% beer for $1.69, if only today’s craft brewers could bring us that level of value for our money.

Pours mediam gold with a frothy nearwhite head. Aromas of wheat, corn and a slight amount of fruit. Full bodied; creamy carbonation. Flavor is pretty clean, lightly sweet, and there’s a slight touch of light stone fruit in the finish. Not much heat. Just rated Earthquake HGL, and this is even better. :)

courtesy of kiefdog Pours golden with white head. Aroma and taste have plenty of malts with ample sweetness - corn. Overall not an awful beer, it can only get as good as the price of the can. Just nothing I would buy.

Wow, this is classy. Bright golden color with a very artificial seeming foamy head. Funky nose was somewhat soapy and very grainy. Flavor was soapy with a weird fruitiness, somewhat appley, I guess there is a lot of acetaldehyde? The VSL label seems accurate enough as it does have a smooth almost slick finish. Mildly fizzy mouthfeel. Finish is grainy and harsh, fusel. Somewhat comparable to euro strong lagers but this one has a poor fermentation profile.Coming back to it - I didn’t drink it fast enough and as the beer warmed it developed a terrifically horrid grainy fuselly bite in the finish that is easily compared to garbage and dishwater.
