On tap as the 'bargain' handle. Nice bargain!
Pours a clear golden color. Light aroma, low hopping, crisp and clean finish. Fits the bill, serves its purpose, and then some.

Pours with little to no head, golden straw color with little to no malt or hop aroma. Tastes of a crisp clean biscuit with little to no aftertaste. It honestly tastes as if Coors Lite was an above-average beer. Extremely drinkable, but nothing extraordinary.

Look - 12 oz can poured into a standard pint glass. Straw yellow in color, clear, with a large head that retains somewhat, leaving behind less than moderate lacing. a ton of bubbles indicating high carbonation.
Smell - malts with some honeylike sweetness. overall very light and subtle.
Taste - malts and honey, almost exactly as suggested by the smell. floral honey notes that linger. finish with some malty notes and relatively clean.
Feel - light bodied, high carbonation, and low ABV at 4.4%.
Overall - a pretty typical but above average American lager that's clean, easy to drink, and has some nice subtle flavors.

Thin looking with minimal head. Bready malt, lemon, grass on the smell. Tastes of grassy malt with some biscuit. Mouthfeel is decent.
Overall it’s an easy drinking lager with good taste.

Poured from a can into a pint glass. Pours straw yellow with a small white head. Smells of sweet grain, nice and fuller than most. Tastes of sweet cereal grain, especially corn notes, nice a full. Beer is light bodied and easy drinking, good carbonation. Overall, an above average beer.

From the can, it pours a clear golden color with a very nice white head that slowly reduces and leaves lacing. The nose gets some light grainy malt. The mouth gets the grain and light malt. Drinkable, but not outstanding in any way.

Poured from an 12-oz can well within its date range into a snifter (we’re camping, and snifters are all we have with us).
Appearance: Light gold, bubbles, with a large white fluffy head that lingered a little while and left nice lacing.
Nose: Sweet grain, bread.
Mouthfeel: Medium light, some carbonation.
Attack: Thin, not as much flavor as I expected, some corn.
Finish: Very slight hop bitterness.
Overall: Easy to drink, but I prefer a lager with more flavor depth. The appearance and the nose were the best parts.

Been to Belgium - but I’m not sure that I believe in a New one. That said, like grabbing the ladies underwear section of the LA Times when I was a youngster, it does the trick. Maybe not Houdini style, but maybe that dork Chris Angel.
