My conquest of NA beers continues. Good stuff, surprisingly. Good off-yellow color and a small fizzy white head. Carbonation was not bad at all and there is an actual flavor. It's like a regular blue but sweeter and with less stale hops flavor. No metallic flavors, not harsh. Pretty good. . .for an NA beer.

Very light golden... looks like watered down beer. Smells light and cheap... not really skunked, but somewhere along those lines. Tastes like a half and half (hald beer, half water that is). Only reason this is average in drinkability is because something lacking that much flavor is like drinking water... easy to do, though not really something that you crave when you want flavor.

Nothing special, though not awful. Crisp golden, with a white head. Smells like... I don't know what it smells like. Maybe just "beer." Not keen on the taste, but I've had worse. A little grassy. I enjoy a beer with character, and this really doesn't have it. Be original!

Rated lower than regular Guinness but this is a better beer. Pours very dark brown with a creamy tan head. The body is nicely carbonated which provides a different mouthfeel than regular Guinness. Bitter roasted malt aroma with surprising hops notes. Body is smooth and silky with bitter roasted barley balanced by slightly sweet caramely malt flavors. Hops are present although subdued. Surprisingly good and much better than their standard offering.
Hmmm...after having a couple of these the other night, I’m not sure where my original 3.7 rating came from. Bitter and rather unbalanced.

Standard macro brew with a huge water aftertaste. Not my favorite to start with but it seems that this one if the regular Blue diluted with water. Try this from a can in a christmas party and let's just say that next year I'll make sure to bring my own brew.

Standard macro brew with no real head retention or any aftertaste. Aroma is almost non-existent. Body is really light to ensure you can drink a lot of this crap brew.

Rating #666:
Clear pale light golden colour with a very thin white head. Almost no aroma but a slight metal and stale malt scent is present. Light-bodied; Almost no taste as well, but a faint sweetness and metallic twang are noticed before it turns to water. Aftertate, WHAT Aftertaste? Overall, good to drink if you are stupid, have no class, are poor, like water, don't have a brain or if you don't like beer! I was following Daniwerks' lead rating a piece of trash for #666, and while being up at college in Rochester, New York and seeing people drink this...I have to rate it at least once before I leave. I found this by the side of the road and sampled it on 2-October-2003.

Typical blond lager. Slight acidic note, hints of corn & grain. Thin body. Little, if any, malt & hop. I know they do this in the US, too, and it really pains me to see all of North America’s traditional regional beers turning into the same bland swill.

Draft. If I were a Canadian eager to prove my country is not "the 51st State," I'd be ashamed to see the maple leaf on this product. It's just all the worst aspects of the standard American "beer." Pale, pale colour--but that is what the style calls for, so a few points there. Plenty of adjunct to assure as little actual flavour as possible. Unless the malt and hops are so well balanced they cancel each other out, like matter and antimatter... nah. The description says "fruity character;" since when are corn and rice fruit? Re-rated I am forced to revise my rating upward a few notches upward, because while this beer smells bland and has no taste, I found another that smelled and tasted awful, due to a bad bottle.

This version is less watery then the can version but not as good as the one on tap. It is mentionned to drink from bottle but I still suggest using a regular stout glass.Usual bitter aftertaste but not much coffee taste as with other great stout. This is legend but I think that other brewery are now doing better stout.
