(Bottle 33 cl) The design of this beer rather gives you associations pointing towards the ready-to-drink segment of beverages. But this is beer - presumably. Extremely lively in the glass, nice golde colour and a small, discreet head. Flavour is soft "uncommonly smooth" as printed on the label - no lie. Characteristic notes of chicken-fodder as found in most beers with too much corn added. Just about no bitterness. Drinkable but completely uninteresting. 2.0

Soft sweet tasting beer with no bitterness and that annoying presence of sweet corn. Old paper ratings before Ratebeer, so why not rate them in hindsight.

24 ounce can, best by OCT2119, from Woodman's Appleton, 8/3/19. Clear amber, large fizzy white head, fair retention. Aroma of corn, creamed corn, skunky hops. Taste is pale malt, corn. Not much else. Thin, low carb. About what you'd expect. Badass level = 0.2. Meh.

24 ounce can into lager glass, best before 6/4/2018. Pours crystal clear medium golden yellow color with a 1 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, light corn/pepper, and herbal/grassy earthiness. A touch of fruity aromas, but not overwhelming. Nice and pleasant aromas with pale malt/grains and light-moderate earthy hop notes; with solid strength. Taste of cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, light corn/pepper, and herbal/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate herbal, grassy, spicy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, light corn/pepper, and herbal/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Nice robustness and balance of pale malt/grains and light-moderate earthy hop flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and zero cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Moderately crisp/clean finishing. Perfectly clean on lager flavors, with zero yeast notes present. Light-moderate increasing dryness from bitterness and carbonation. Medium-high carbonation and medium body; with a very smooth, moderately bready/grainy, and fairly sticky balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5%. Overall this is a nice pale adjunct lager. All around nice obustness and balance of pale malt/grains and light-moderate earthy hop flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink. Very flavorful and not watery for the ABV. Very clean pale malt/grain flavors, and nice earthy hop presence for the style. Really nice barley presence, and not overdone on adjuncts at all. A nicely enjoyable offering, and well made style example as expected of Miller.

Rated from old notes. So non-deScript it defies deScription. Weak, bland, watery drink with bubbles and some fizz. That pretty much sums it up. Do not buy it, and if gifted, nod politely, smile, and drainpour at the first opportunity.

Reviewed from notes.
Most of the time, this one was consumed right out of the can. For reviewing purposes, here are my observations. This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance was a hazy yellow color with a fair transparency about it as well. Carbonation was rapidly rising. There wasn’t any head.
The smell had some cooked corn with vegetal quality to it.
The taste was sweet and metallic.
On the palate, luckily what makes up for this one was a smooth crispness to roll over my tongue making it feel about a light to medium on the body.
Overall, a pale lager that’s not exactly tasty or has a good aroma. Don’t ask me why it has a decent mouthfeel. Weird.

Can: Pours clear, pale gold with a soapy white head. Grain malt aroma. Corn and grain taste....watery. I didn’t know they even still made this....nor can I think of a reason why they do.
