FOREWORD TO MY RATING: THIS IS A TRASH! DO NOT TRY!!!! clear golden colour, large, though not too stable ecru-ish white head; aroma of cardboard and canned sweet corn; taste of the liquid of canned sweet corn with slight metallic notes; MALT LIQUOR WITH 5.9 % ABV?!? WTF?!? honestly, I don't really like malt liquors, but this is the shame of even the malt liquors!!!...and I have 40 ounces to drink...meeeeeh! I wish I could punish this trash with 0.0 point - unfortunately it has the normal lager appearance, so I cannot score it lower "objectively"

Bottle 1,18ltr: Clear golden colored brew with an gentle smoothly sweet bitter taste, some fruity hints. Now an "paper bag" and hit the streets, nice U.S. Malt Liquor.

16 ounce can into lager glass, best before 5/2019. Pours fairly crystal clear medium golden yellow color with a 1 finger fairly dense and fluffy off white head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of cracker, corn, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, light honey, wood, pepper, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Some fruity corn aromas, but not too overwhelming. Okay aromas with pale malt/grains and light-moderate earthy hop notes; with decent strength. Taste of cracker, corn, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, light honey, wood, pepper, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate herbal, floral, woody, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of cracker, corn, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, light honey, wood, pepper, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice robustness and balance of pale malt/grains and light-moderate earthy hop flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and no cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Moderately crisp/clean finishing. Very clean on lager flavors, with minimal fruity/yeasty notes. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness and carbonation. Medium-high carbonation and medium body; with a very smooth, moderately bready/grainy, and fairly sticky balanced mouthfeel that is great. Minimal warming alcohol for 5.9%. Overall this is a nice malt liquor. All around nice robustness and balance of pale malt/grains and light-moderate earthy hop flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and pretty refreshing to drink with the mellowly bitter/drying finish. Very clean and nicely rich pils malt/grain showcase, with nice earthy hop presence/balance for the style. Not too overwhelming on adjuncts. A nicely enjoyable offering, and impressive style example as expected of Miller.

24 oz. can. Why do I keep doing this? Clear, pale, yellow color, with a big, frothy, white head. The nose is honey, straw, bread dough, and a bit of vanilla. Very sweet, with hardly any bitterness. Smooth and easy. I've certainly had worse.

Can shared at Chriso’s and Ruth pre GBBF shindig, August 5, 2017. Light yellow pour, strong cardboard nose, corn. taste is sweetish, corny and boozy. Not completely undrinkable although close to that.
