Pours straw yellow with 1-2 inch head depending on how cold it was. Smell is of grain. Taste is slightly malty. There seems to be hops. The alcohol (almost 6%) is evident, but is not really enjoyable due to the lack of taste. Me and a friend got this for $7.99 a case for a trial run. It will get you hammered if your willing to to pay the price of drinking a somewhat below par beer (I'm trying to be nice). I don't recommend this unless you want to get pissed and don't know what good beer is. Serve very cold.

This beer was introduced to me as "WORST. BEER. EVER!", in full Simpsons ComicBook Guy voice, by a representative of the very distributor of that beer. Actually, it only appears, "exclusively", at one chain of liquor stores, so he hardly had to worry about spoiling sales.
Color is a transparent yellow, so what else is new? Head is thick, full, 2", fluffy white, so it's got that going for it...
Aroma: whaddaya talkin' 'bout, hah? No such aminal. Slightly sweet, a touch floral, overall, dry.
On the palate, utterly unpleasant. A frown comes upon my face with every sip, and that ain't good, brother!
No body, no texture, beyond the atrocious wince-inducing mouthfeel, no flavor at all, entirely forgettable. With each sip I take, I wince anew!
Ugh!!!
It must be left to more technically adroit minds than mine to detect why this is, but they must also have better things to do, so I leave it as a moot point, a question not unanswerable, but uncareable, as in, who gives a (*&#@$%^&%$%%^$ it just stanks, and that's all you need to know...

Initially lighter malt, mixed with hops aroma that is somewhat enticing, then fades to very light standard Am. lager, very light malt aroma with significant sweetness. Yellow-gold, very clear, big head. Largely flavorless. In the middle is some bitterness with a slightly metalic finish, somewhat astringent. Qualities of adjunct noted. Only barely thicker than water. I believe this could be referred to as swill. I'm afraid to try it beyond refrigerator cold. It's designed for a different type of "beer" drinker than I.
