Pour is a hazy yellow with a large white head. Aroma is kinda decent for a lager, a nice dry pils malt with a touch of grassy hops. Flavor is syurpy sweet malts with no hops and little aftertaste. Its a better than average lager with a little more body than others IMO and ok for a bargan bin pickup.

Draft from GC Rockford. Pours a clear pale gold with a small bit of light head. Aroma of water and sweet malt. Taste is lightly sweet. Water, cereal grains and Splenda. Light bodied with a thin texture. Lively carbonation and not much of a finish. Overall, it’s not very good. Still better than most "lite" beers though.

Sample at the Creve Coeur, MO brewpub. The beer pours a clear pale yellow color with a wispy white head that disappears quickly. Spotty lacing on the glass. Aroma of grainy malt and mild hops. Light and fizzy body with flavors of pale malt, corn and lightly spiced hops. The finish is short and tastes of grain. Standard intro beer overall, not worth ever trying again.

Light, nearly clear yellow. No perceivable hops, and no perceivable adjuncts either. Not creamy, but very light palate. Not offensive beyond being a flavorless and characterless beer. It is drinkable at least, the sort of thing you might buy for $10/ 24 cans, if it were sold in cans.

draft - Pours golden with a thin white head. It has a light pale malt aroma and a sweet pale malt flavor with maybe a hint of hops, but just the barest hint. It’s light bodied though not too terribly watery. Finishes clean. I’ve had worse.

Pshaw. Light hop in the nose, slightly spicy and aromatic, but barely any malts. Initially has a bit of a citrus quality in the flavor, but eventually leads nowhere. A touch of bittering hops. Clean and light. Nicely golden in color, not too pale.
