Handwritten notes from 10+ years ago.

Appearance - Clear straw body. Very clear and pale. Very active carbonation in the head. Sounds like a soda more than a beer. Head lasts for a minute then disappears completely. No lace. 3

Smell - Alcohol and musky corn. A little thick and gummy. Very much like a malt liquor. 3

Taste - Stale and musky. Tastes much better straight from the bottle for some reason. Pretty clean. Some faint artificial sweetness, like splenda. Almost flavorless. A more alcoholic Michelob Ultra. 3.5

Mouthfeel - Slight crispness. Leaves faint stick on tongue, but very clean. 3

Overall - The ultimate frat beer. 3

Clearly below average for an adjunct. Smooth, alcoholic, slightly sour. Only drank because it was free. I'd much rather drink a Corona or even a Busch Light over this. Please don't drink this; much better adjuncts exist. If you want the alcohol without other redeeming qualities, then go right ahead.

I think there are far too many opinions due to this beer being the American beer category, but I completely disagree with most of them. It doesn’t taste or smell disgusting like many reviewers say, in fact I truly believe that most of the negative reviews are beer drinkers that typically don’t drink light beers or what they call “adjuncts” but I think this is a fairly decent tasting beer!
