Gold Color, Small Head Dissipating in a matter of seconds, no lacing. Light sweet taste. No bitterness no hops. Tasteless, does not leave anything on palate or as an aftertaste. Might as well be drinking water. Best enjoyed if it falls into one of the following situations: Free or you are really desperate to quench your thirst and this is your only option.

Sampled from a 12 oz can this beer poured a medium yellow-gold with a medium sized soapy whit head that faded quickly. The aroma was sweet, tangy, corny and industrial. The flavor was dryish, tangy and had a touch of cardboard. The finish was short, tangy and vaguely bitter. Thin body. Not much to this one. Bland and inoffensive.

Here’s rating #10 that establishes the number on the shelf tag. 24 oz. can. I compared this to a 12 oz. bottle of the old stuff after finding both from Sam’s. Assumption is the older bottle might be a bit past code. But of the new stuff: I poured it into my Sam Adams glass and a frothy head foamed up the top half, possibly due to its wide-mouth opening. Both beer looked identical in the same glasses: pale lager yellow, a bit of gold in the thicker part of the glass. The corn smell is less pronounced here, but there’s also less malt or hop smell in its place. There’s also less sweetness in the taste, but the mouthfeel is watery, something I learned after tasting this is a common complaint even among regular beer drinkers. A bit more malt comes through, and with less remaining corn, it seems more finished. Midway through, I start to get that unpleasant buzz that usually comes with trying tallboys of malt liquor. I think I’d rather put this down to the psychology of drinking from a big cheap can.
