I stumbled on this beer when looking for something affordable and locally brewed. My first batch of experiences were very nice, great taste, good carbonation, and at 7% you can't argue with an $18 pricetag for 15 cans. Recently though, I've been getting dud 15 pack cases that are terribly under carbonated or completely flat which throws off the entire taste and experience. Out of 5 cases I've purchased, I've had 1 case with a good amount of carbonation. This could be a result of improper storage or shipping causing the beer to freeze, or a manufacturer defect.
All in all if you can find a good supplier then I think the average beer drinker that enjoys your standard light beers like Coors, Labat, etc. will like this.
Tldr; affordable, good taste, 7%, chance of low or no carbonation at time of review.

Oh boy, what did I get myself into here???
A- This is a super fizzy, pale yellow color, almost like a cheap ginger ale, with big bubbly carbonation rising to the top in swift fashion. There is a one finger thick, super white head that forms, but swizzles out rather fast, leaving behind nothing but an oily/watery looking film that shows off the super aggressive soda like carbonation. There is absolutely no lacing to speak of here either......not off to a good start here.
S- Boiled corn, booze and sugar syrup generally make up the gist of the aromas here. I may be able to detect some diacetyl nuances, as there is a buttery microwavable popcorn quality about it. Rice, damp grass and a general off- putting aroma surrounds this liquid.
T- Ugh, this tastes like the original, but with a stronger booziness to it. Boiled corn, rice and/or hotdog water, with a metallic tang to it....not good. The finish lingers with a sleazy artificial malt extract flavor that tries to pass itself off as a legit tasting lager. Overall this tastes like the ever overused 'swill' that cheap brews are known to be.
M/O- Super light in body, like watery, and the carbonation is so aggressive that it is hard for the average beer drinker to distinguish what exactly they are having here. This is gross, and GP should be ashamed of themselves really.....this isn't even trying and honestly put, there is no drinkability factor here....this is good if you just want to get hammered quickly while not really caring at all what you are consuming....among the worst 'beers' I've had
