The beer pours from the 12-ounce brown bottle a limpid gold with a modest white frothy head and the left over lace a thin sheet. Nose is sweet malt, fresh and clean, start is lightly sweet and the top skeletal. Finish is caustic in its acidity, hops benign and the aftertaste dry, it has been almost 4 years since I sampled one of these, now I know why.

This beer finished "dry", which of course was the whole point. Smooth and easy to drink. 6% Not a bad taste by '90's standards. I'd like to see it come back. I'd try it again.

It was a lighter version of another kind of beer that I tried once. It was drinking beer. I remember when it was popular, cheap and your friends would bring it around.

Remember the "dry beer" craze of the mid-90's? If you don't you didn't miss much. I knew a few folks, however, who loved this stuff. Can't explain why.

Yellow pour with a 1/4" white head full of tiny bubbles. Aroma was like nothing.
Super watery, I thought this was Bud Dry? Nothing in terms of discernable hopping, malt, beechwood nonsense. There isn't much substance to this, still prolly some rice and corn adjunct to lighten the malt bill, super carbonated mineral water stuff.
