Honestly pretty solid and smooth - a lot better than the reputation that comes with the name.

Draft at Saranac brewpub. Unmemorable. About as generic a lager as you'll find. Clear golden, disappearing head. Grainy, bready, dull. Like they're not even trying.

Pretty trashy lager. Tastes a little like paint thinner. Golden pour. Cloying finish. Can at a dive bar.

Crystal clear coloured body with a large three centimetre tall just off-white head that stays afloat for a long time. Aroma of very subdued grass and hay notes with a dry apple and light grainy note with a dash of alcohol and caster sugar. Light-bodied; Deep robust biscuity malts up front with a soft peach and apple flavour, some grain and a dash of more herbal notes, but still no real hops noticeable, but some light alcohol and herbal finishes remain. Aftertaste is surprisingly easy-drinking with just a biscuity and light grainy note showing some softer herbal and yeast flavours with a little sweetness from caster sugar and apples with a touch of the alcohol showing through on the end, but not in a bad way. Overall, fairly nice to try - not as bad as I was expecting, but I've never heard of this and it's retro-value seemed great, especially from Upstate New York. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Whole Foods in Pentagon City (Arlington), Virginia on 06-September-2019 for US$1,49 sampled at my house here in Washington on 29-September-2019, a few blocks away.

Can from Total Wine. Golden in colour, with a thin, white, head. Aroma of hay, sweetcorn and a trace of leafy hop. Flavour had sweet and grainy lager malts, and a short, bitter, finish. Ok for glugging.

Can. Sweet malt and a touch of hops in the nose. Pale. Sweet, slightly corny, light hops. Ok when ice cold. Worsens as it warms.
