Bought locally, best by June 28th 2026.
Pours very pale straw gold, small head of foam, retention is not bad, as is the lacing.
Smell is sweet grain, touch of grass, not much to it. It's a light beer.
Taste is sweet, grainy, touch of grass, very thin body, lively carbonation.
I tried it so it is off my list.

16oz can, free from Woodman's. Vile, insipid stuff. The aroma is terrible, corn syrup, general factory nastiness. Sweet, corn flavor. Just all around a terrible product.

Not the best, it is a boring product, a kind of juice of malt, few hop, watery, barely drinkable, better to put some cents more, 19.03.17

Golden yellow with small, short-lasting head. Corn, barley malt, and light grass aroma. Mildly sweet barley malt and very mildly bitter grass flavor. Light body. Decent for what it is - better than Michelob Ultra.

16 oz can to glass at The Peanut in Mission, Kansas. The pour is a clear golden, a touch on the paler side, with a foamy white head that falls quickly. The aroma is soft grain, malt sweetness and just a whisper of floral. The taste is the cereal grain malt, softly sweet, and a touch of earthiness. The palate is light bodied, active carbonation and a mostly clean sweetish finish. Easier drinking than most American Light beers, though still pretty bland.
gave a cheers!

16 oz can. Pours clear golden with a half finger white head that falls into a ring quickly. Aroma is corny, sweet malt. Taste is sweet with faint bitterness. Thin and watery. Maybe a hair more flavor than your typical bland light lager.

Pour is a crystal clear gold with a large white head. Aroma is beer. Bready generic malt. Flavor is a wee bit of grain and not much else. Very watery.

So I went out of my way to find this and got a whole 12er. I hope I like it, jk it'll be fine, at worst a lawnmower beer. On to the review: pale golden, crystal clear, rapidly fading but very full white head. It's really refreshing to see a beer that just looks like a beer these days. Nose is subtle hints of grain, very similar to regular Pabst (which is usually too grainy and corny for my tastes). Am I detecting some actual floral hop? Its very faint if it's there but I think it is. Flavor is more about the grainy malt profile, there's a decent but light bitterness at finish, but no appreciable hop flavors. Something feels missing but I can't quite put my finger on it, maybe just lacking a certain depth that gives it an almost watery element.

Aroma is grainy, bready, slightly skunky. Taste is sweet with zero bitterness. Reminds me of the bad old days when the only NA beers around were O’doul’s and Clausthaler. The NA segment has come along so much further than this and someone should let Pabst know there’s been advancements in the techniques used to make these beers.
