Overall Impression: A fun craptastic beer. I'll give it that. It doesn't taste good, but it has the "interesting" factor going for it...

Sampled from a 40 oz brown bottle this beer poured a dark golden color with a huge soapy yellow-white head that lingered. The aroma was tangy, sweet and very corny. The flavor was dry, tangy and bitter with notes of sugar and corn on the middle and a medium length tangy, corny finish. The alcohol was well hidden. Medium to light body. Better than I expected but not exactly good.

Can: Smells a bit like horse shit, hay, and paprika. Clear golden, no head. Tastes like boiled vegetables. Corny aftertaste which, sadly enough, is actually the highlight. I really feel like beers like this are exploiting poor people who only want to enjoy beer like the rest of us.

Can thanks to bhops. pours a clear yellow body with an aroma that is stale and full of corn. Taste is watery, corny and rice. Fizzy and dry mouthfeel.

This beer pours a clear yellow color with a thin and fizzy ivory white head that burns down quickly. Spotty lacing on the glass. Light grainy malt nose with a hint of hops. Light body with flavors of stale malt and grassy hops. The finish is mildly sweet malt with a short weak hops aftertaste. Overall I would be hard pressed to tell the difference between this "lost" recipe and the 100s of other beers of this style that have come out since the 1960’s.

12 ounce can from Beer Run in Charlottesville, VA. Pours a very pale yellow color. No head, lacing or retention worth noting. Godawful aroma is strongly grain with a stinky, sweaty vibe going on. Taste is almost palateable, strong grain, some corn, that odd stink in the finish. Absolutely no hops. Thin bodied.

bottle - I rated 90 beers in a row without a pale lager. I think that’s a personal best. Well that streak is now broken with this abomination of a beer. I got this one in an old dive bar in my college alma mater town of Bowling Green, Ohio. It’s a place called Howard’s that was the town livery about 100 years ago. I don’t think they’ve made many improvements since then. The floors are concrete and the seating is mostly old picnic tables. It’s the place to go when you want to hear some live music during your downward spiral. Just try not to spiral any lower as the next step is probably drinking malt liquor wrapped in a brown paper bag while slumped in an alley. Oh wait, was I supposed to be rating the beer? If you’re in a place like Howard’s, you’ve got to order a beer like Schlitz. It doesn’t smell like much and the flavor of this thin, watery beer is a light, corn-adjunct laden mess that couldn’t possibly make any brewer proud. No matter. So order that Schlitz, worm your way through the college kids to the front row in front of the band, chug your beer if you can stand it, and rock on. Come on, you can do it! You have not yet begun to defile yourself.

Clear golden wtih medium white head. Sweet malty aroma with caramel notes. Sweet flavour with alcohol and chemical notes.
