This beer sucks. I can't believe I still have five more bottles of this, which will probably be given away. Comes in a stubbie, green, 250mL bottle. Even in my small mug, it only comes up to a little over half, including head. Which was next to none. Maybe the width of a fingernail of foam. Pale yellow colour. No lace. Light skunk smell. Not much else. Am I detecting a malt profile, or is that my subconscious playing tricks on me? It's my subconscious playing tricks on me. Tastes bland. Not much of anything. Bit of a skunky flavour. No hop, no malt, not even any adjuncts. Bland, boring, nothing. Watery mouthfeel. Pretty much undrinkable swill. The best thing about this beer is the bullshit propaganda that is printed on the packaging and bottle.

Had bottles. 1 into a 7oz taster.
L: Pours fairly gold and clear w a thin white head, some big carbo bubbles, head recedes, a little lacing.
S: spicy hops, caramel malts, grains, lightly earthy & sweet.
T: Follows aroma with corn, sweet malts and hops well balanced. It is lightly metallic.
F: A gentle crisp hop snap then smooth & malty w some caramel sweetness in the medium bodied center. It has a med-fast finish that is lightly drying.
O: A very easy drinking Pale Lager that is nice straight from the bottle. They go quick. A nice year-round beer I've seen only a few times. It is lightly sweet and okay in its style.

I used to enjoy this beer---I drank it real cold and real fast (being a small bottle it works well for this.) Apparently it's not very good, based on other reviews. But I enjoyed it!

I recently got this beer. It pours golden, a little bit hazy with a very mild white foam head. Aroma is very sweet, malty and some adjuncts, no hops. Taste is very sweet, lots of residual sugars there, overwhelming and not very refreshing. It´s a very good looking bottle, with a poor content.

Poured from a 16oz can.

Bit of sweetness makes this actually not too bad.
