Clear golden color with a small head and lace.
aroma skunky like grains, hops, light malt.
taste was sweet corn, light malts and citrus.
The feel was light body, high carbonation, but it was easy to drink.

12oz green bottle. Label has this dating information 'BEST BEFORE: 05MAR23', so drinking six months after this date.
Clear, pale gold colored body. Thin white head quickly disappears, and leaves a partial bubble fed ring. No lacing.
Aroma has a slight skunk but mostly is a bready malt nose.
Taste is also a little skunky but again with the bready malt and minor sweet fruitiness. Bitterness is very low.
Thinner mouth feel. Clean finish. Okay carbonation.
Not too much here for this one but it is wet, and leaves barely any memories.

Suffered the same fate as Beck’s. Used to be a darn good euro lager but stateside it’s boring swill. Forgettable and I never need to purchase it again. Used to be great with a nice pasta dinner, crispy crackery and dry. Now it just flat out stinks. Still this beer inspires wonderful Halloween costumes so at least it’s doing something right

Six pack for $6.99? Sure.,.
Pours pee yellow from a green bottle. Dad said never drink beer from a green bottle. Another example of why. This is a riff on a Urine-peein’ pale lager. Budweiser brewing it means god isn’t sure what’s in it. Little bit sweet, got Grolsch tasting funk. Fizzy. Tried one with a turkey and cheddar sammy, it’s pretty much yuck.
Hey man! Want a beer?

Poured from the not super-fresh bottle into my Trumer Pils flute. A friend in high school loved these thanks to his older brothers, so I've had plenty of them over the last 40 years. Now made in America. Why the hate for a very decent lager beer? All malt, slightly elevated herbal hops flavor compared to the macros.... It doesn't compare to the best craft lagers I've had (I'm thinking Austin's Industry Pils, maybe Pfriem...) or even to the best German imports available (I'm a sucker for lagers from Kulmbach), but it is more enjoyable than gritty, peppery, thin, flinty, sulfury bad craft lagers, isn't it?
Moderate head retention. Very clear.
Faint German hops nose, some raunch.
Sweet, full palate entry followed by faint herbal hops dryness, quickly swallowed up by more malt sweetness. Creamy finish. I would guess a German beer if it were in a blind taste test.
Malty body (who could taste rice in this? total misinformation bruh)
Overall: It's beer, pretty good beer at a nice price, made in America....

When this was made in Germany it was my favorite beer. Now it's Budweiser I. A green bottle . Shame on them. Sweet. Ricey. Rubbish.

Hey man, you are the man. Trust yourself. Believe in yourself. And party like the St Pauli girl is your date and her man is out of town. And you know what? Raul feels this way while drinking this beer. There are no problems. There are no complications. There’s just a German hottie by my side (well, before Mrs Raul, of course), and she keeps filling my glass when it gets empty.
Wahoo!!!

Clear, light gold appearance with a medium size, white head. Vegetal, grainy malt aroma. Sweet malt, lightly hopped flavor. Dull finish. Its been awhile since I had the original German produced product but even then it did little to distinguish itself. This latest offering does nothing to raise the bar. Maybe not a drainpour but not worth a repeat purchase.

Brewed in St. Louis not Germany. Doesn’t taste authentic at all. Pretty much just like a Budweiser. It’s drinkable ,but wouldn’t buy again.

Year Round Release - 6 pack
12 oz. bottle best before 03APR22 (4/3/22) - 5.0% ABV / 20 IBU
Brewed and bottled in St. Louis, MO
Poured into an unbranded pilsner glass
Look - Pours a dense and fizzy white head that evaporates quickly. Crystal clear, pale yellow appearance with a few floating bubbles.
Smell - The nose is very faint with bready malt and grassy hops.
Taste - Taste follows the nose with some bitterness that lingers throughout.
Feel - Thin bodied with a crisp mouthfeel and finishes pretty dry.
Overall - Not really much on flavor and it burns the back of the throat which reduces the drinkability.
