12 oz can poured, picked up at Total Wine for pocket change. Fun to try such a classic brew. A beer that has been providing quality for longer than my home state has been a state. Cheers to that! Can actually notes Fred Koch Brewing, Rochester, NY, so not sure of this brew has gone through some geographical changes over the years. This one just crushes. It's so light that there is hardly anything possible to say about it. Pale light golden pour, soft head. Very faint aroma, paper grain in the distance. Flavor is watered down beer flavored water. Soft paper. Cool watery finish. I can be in the mood for something exceptionally simple like this from time to time.

99 cent can from TWSP, trying to extend my night. Pale gold, white head. Nothing offensive about the aroma, mainly because there is none. Flavor is envelope glue and the envelope itself. Lightly sweet aftertaste. Why the hell would anyone drink this?

Pours yellow with a fluffy white head. Aroma of sweet malt. Taste has watery honey Pilsen elements. Palate has much of the same. Eh.

Pours gold into a shaker. White soapy head with little retention recedes to nothing. Sweet hay aromas. Crisp with watery hay and meadow front to back.

Can: Bubbly, clear, beige-yellow, with a foamy white head. Minimal aroma.....grain, water. Taste is slightly stronger, but just as plain. Barley, water...... Displays less of the cornflake-water note that many NA’s have...... Fairly drinkable in a pinch.

Can. Light barley wort and cardboard aroma. Golden yellow with moderate white head. Very lightly sweet barley malt with hint of straw flavor. No body. This is the beer for you if you want mineral water with a hint of beer.

Can into Lost Abbey stemware. First NA tick in a long while. Pours with a clear, somewhat surprisingly deep yellow to golden hued body with a equally surprising, decent white head that even leaves a bit of lace. Maybe it isn’t as adjunct laden as some others. Aromas appear to back it up as all malt, bready, grainy, mild DMS, some sugary melon notes, bready. Light yeast esters that are odd for a lager, no sulfur though. No hops to speak of on the nose. Not horrible on the flavors, but not good: bready, malty, saw dust, uric acid, DMS and quite a bit of husky tannin. Saw dust. Thin and watery with a carbonic bite. Mild cardboard. Honestly, not nearly as bad as expected. Seems to be all malt (granted cheap, husky 6 row). No hop flavors detected. Light salinity. Watery and husky overall.

12 ounce can shared by Butters at Butters Slutfest 2.0, Richmond, VA, 4.23.11. Pours clear... almost colorless. Medium sized creamy head. Decent head retention and lacing. Faint aroma of creamed grain. Does that make any sense? The taste is sweet and grainy. Thin bodied. Not good, but not offensive.
