Slightly hazed, off-gold with a minimal soapy head. Suspended sediments (older bottle) Scent is corn malt, grass...very faint. Taste is slightly creamy, rice as adjunct, I’d guess. Watery, weak. Not exactly terrible, just not much of anything but water.

Clear gold beer. Dry crisp palate becoming creamier. Smooth lager malt and a decent streak of citrus. Let down by unpleasant metallic tang and a finish that is way too dry.

This ??? poured a light yellow colour with a very quick living head. Scents include...yeast and creamed corn. First taste was watery as hell with the corn flavours shining through but only slightly.finish was bland and corny. Plalate is the most watery mess that I’ve ever tasted.

Bottle. Slight odor of malt vinegar (minus the acetic acid). Pale gold color with a fair white head. Thin bodied with fizzy carbonation. Flavor is malt vinegar without the acetic acid. Not much hop. Strange how the flavor immediately escapes. Finish is dry and grainy or something like. Not much here, and it is hard to pin down; never had anything very like it.

bottle - Homer Simpson said, "Mmmm... Chinese beer." Keep in mind that Homer’s an idiot though. He’s hilarious, but still an idiot. This abomination pours clear, light yellow with a thin white head. It has a mild aroma of pale malt and grain. It has a light, watery, adjunct laden flavor with a little bit of hops and a dry finish. It’s thin, mild, and would be totally forgettable if it didn’t taste so bad. Stay away.

Sampler at Binny’s Orland Park. Distinctive smell of Prell shampoo as the guy was pouring from the bottle. Way too light in color, comes close to the fabled Miller Clear. Maybe if they brewed with grain instead of quartz water, they’d have something.
