Cloying, vegetal, fusel alcohol, and loads of wet paper. Cheap grains, lots of cloying sugars dominate. The finish has no bitterness and a rough cooked veggies after taste. Yuck.

Pours clear deep golden with a white head. Aroma has notes of malt, corn and hint of grass. Taste is light to medium sweet and light bitter with a cornish finish. Body is medium, texture is thin to oily, carbonation is fizzy

Can. It’s a clear, dark golden beer with a small, off-white head. The aroma is rather corn-ish, with some caramel hints and a touch of fruityness. It’s sweet on the palate, medium bodied and soft, with some caramel flavors and next to no bitterness. Fruityness and some grass and a wee touch of corn too. Medium length finish. Not awful this one, but the aroma is close. Please drink ice cold. 150616

Originally rated August 2005. Their site still says 5.9% ABV, but the label on my bottle is at 5.5% ABV. Bought in Ontario too. Pours a clean golden-brown-red colour with a foamy off-white head. Light carbonation and retention, with no lacing in sight. The nose is pretty impressive though, with strong rusty malt. The mouthfeel is watery and the taste is far from what it smells. Mostly corn. Starts off slightly bitter, but middle is corn, finish is corn and aftertaste is corn. Nothing offensive, and if you like corn... you will like this one. Just don’t expect a red tasting brew.

Darker amber; nose of gasoline, corn, caramel. Smooth, but artificially slick mouthfeel. Quick finish and watery body.
