Sampled from 12 oz brown bottle. This beer poured a pale yellow color with a medium white head. Sour malt and skunk aroma. Same for the flavor. French Bud - how lovely.

Gold,fast fading white head. Light malt nose. A rather bland , slightly malty brew with good body for the style

Tiny 8.5oz bottle. My half glass poured a clear golden color with a medium thick white head. Minimal lacing. The aroma is sometimes sweet, sometimes skunky. Light-bodied with very little flavor. Mild hops and sweet corn are about all. Actually the flavor was better than expected, in that it actually had a little. The finish is clean and relatively flavorless aside from a mild bitterness.

Slighly hazy golden coloured body with an orange glow and a thinnish white (cotton-looking) head. Aroma of PURE skunk, nothing good at all in this one! After getting past the skunk, some citrus and saison smells come out of it. Light-bodied; Sharp malt taste up front with a tiny bit of hops and a small amount of tart malt. Aftertaste shows a pale lager flavour with not much else. Palate is very dry and not sweet in the slightest bit. Overall, a bad beer, but not as bad as I was expecting! I’d actually rather take this than most big name crap beers like Amstel, Henie or any American product. I sampled this small 8.5 ounce bottle (that says ALE), purchased from Total Wine in McLean, Virginia on 18-January-2005.

This beer comes in a quaint little 8.5 oz green medicine bottle. That said, the aroma is 100% skunk. Clear yellow body with a big off-white head, very similar to the average American macro. Even though a dense head forms, the beer is relatively flat. Flavor is on the hoppy side, with earthy, spicy hops (although light). A touch of malt balances the hops. Not very good overall.

Pale golden. Some hay-like hops, urine and vauge malts in the aroma. Accent is malty, but not overly so. Off-dry finish. In the Heineken vein of having some admirable characteristics, but overall too light to bother.

Pale yellow in colour. Nice little pils with a light grassy smell and a little matl. Dry german hops are noticed in the mouth with some fresh malt....this beer is a reasonable lawn mower beer.
