$1.25 can, kinda nasty-looking, crusted over with something, from Beer Run. Pours very pale golden with a white head. Aroma of corn chips, wheat. Flavor is corn, dry wheat, airplane glue. It’s actually not horrible. Is it good? No, but it’s drinkable.

From old tasting notes. The cheapest beer I ever drank. Cost about $4.75 for a case of 16 ounce returnable bottles. Poured a clear pale gold color. Small bubbly white head. Malty sour crab apple aroma. Tangy light malt flavor is quite lacking. No hops to speak of. A cheap beer that promises nothing and delivers just that.
