Rating this with the caveat that it has been in the fridge for months.
Look: Nice pale, golden color. Plenty of bubbles rising up throughout the body. Almost non-existent head, but might be due to being somewhat older. Not fresh off the shelf.
Smell: Somewhat skunky. Somewhat pleasant, not a bad smell at all. You get a tad of the bready smell behind it all. A bit expected though since this is in a clear green bottle instead of a dark one or a can. I would be curious to compare to the canned version.
Taste: A bit of a bite up front that quickly gives way to a nice bready taste. Not a ton of hoppiness, which I enjoy. A good flavor for my palate. I enjoy it a decent amount.
Feel: Pretty light feel, a bit watery. Not a ton of sticking power in your mouth. Plenty of carbonation. I would say this mouthfeel is on par with most beers.
Overall: A good beer. Solid, but not super premium or anything in my eyes. I would prefer to buy a beer like Coors Light or Banquet over this. Maybe even something like Steel Reserve. I do enjoy this beer however and would buy it again.

 

 

Not bad overall. To me this is a smooth lager without an obnoxious amount of carbonation. For that reason I consider it to be an "all day" option when tailgating or participating in early afternoon festivities. It has a crisp and clean taste that my palate enjoys even though I'm primarily a stout kinda guy.

 

Bottle 0.66 L.
Clear golden body with a medium, frothy white head, mostly diminishing with a fair lacing; high density of small particles.
Light malty aroma with some hoppy herbal notes.
Quite balanced bitter-sweet flavour.
Light-to-medium body with a watery texture; average carbonation; light metallic feeling in the finish.

 

Picked up a can of this at the hotel shop to enjoy back in the room while traveling for work.

This is the first time I have had this beer in years, and I have to say it is much better than I remember it. Light and refreshing, pleasantly sweet with just enough body to be interesting.

Definitely not something I would drink every day, but definitely an option when I'm out at a spot without craft options on the beer list

 

 

This beer needs more love. Ever since they started putting it in cans, I've found it to be the best cheap lager option. So crisp, clean and refreshing on a hot day, and there's this slight hint of Belgian yeast character I swear I get off of it that gives it more complexity than any other lager of its kind. Don't buy the green bottles, get the cans and pour into a glass.

 

 

 

Not really a fan of this beer. It's slightly better than some other big name brands but not all that much. It's a little lighter in taste and feel. Not as bitter or hoppy. I'd still avoid this beer unless it's this or Coors lol.
Bad beer overall, just get a craft beer for the same price or even cheaper.
