I dunno about being out of production because these have recently come to the local Colorado liquor store. Very cheap, cheapest tall-boy in the store at 1.19 per 24 oz. As a fan of the cheaper domestic beers, due to my poorness, i have to say this is not as bad as could be. As it stands, cheaper than keystone and (possibly) more alcoholic this is pretty good. As my first review, it can only get better from here (Natty Ice excluded).

I have had 5 cases of this beer and have decided to review it.

C: (Context) I drink this to excess usually when family is gone and I am watching football, this fall and winter (Minnesota).
A: Don't know - I slam them right from the can.
S: Grainy, no hop effervescence, phenol, sometimes soapy - yes soapy. I'll get to that.
T: Great for slamming after snow blowing, yard work, or for getting drunk during and after another dismal 2011 - 2012 Viking's season. BUT I will say this, and I hope another reviewer will commiserate with me on this sometime - every case I have bought, there seems to be 3 or 4 cans that taste soapy, like dish soap. I hope that I am not imagining this, but there it is. I get a couple every case that taste revolting. The rest are fine and better tasting than other macros. (take it for what it is, I guess).
M: Fine, and absolutely nothing spectacular. Aftertaste is nonexistent.
O: A great beer to get hammered on. At 5.5 as some websites say it is (not the LL website itself), drink up. One suggestion: Pour into a Pilsner glass and then add a few sprinkles of salt. It is better tasting that way.

look: 2.5 | smell: 2.5 | taste: 3 | feel: 3 | overall: 3
Appearance: A light golden tan with carbonation and typical white head.

Smell: Smells like a typical lager. Nothing overpowering the another ingredient. Maybe a hint of corn comes through.

Taste: Not bad, not great. A little stronger taste too it than I expected, but pretty watery over all.

Mouthfeel: Carbonated and a lighter feel to it.

Overall: Overall about an average lager. I knew what to expect when buying it. I can get 2 24packs for around $20 around here, so I kinda knew what I was getting. It is a drinkable lager that is perfect for those party nights or whatever occasion you need to fill you cooler with something to drink.

A - Light fizzy, clear yellow - what you expect from the style. Somewhat large foamy, bubbly, sticky white head. Disappears pretty fast leaving no lace.

S - Sweet cereal and corn aroma. Maybe a very little grassy hop aroma, but not much if there is some.

T - Yep confirms the nose with a lot of sweet cereal and corn flavor. Fairly sweet flavor. Hints of grassy hop and apple fruitiness, but they are mostly dominated by the sweet cereal/corn.

M - Very light body with a lot of carbonation. Pretty thin and watery.

D - A little too sweet to really be drinkable. Not enough hop flavor to balance out the sweet cereal.

Notes: It is what it is, a cheap adjunct lager. A little too sweet to really enjoy, but it isn't horrible. Overall it isn't bad for what it is, especially for the $14-15 for a 24 pack. If you are drinking cheap, you could do worse.

Been seeing this advertised lately on TV...it's cheap....been waiting to find a single to try and now I have..says naturally brewed on the can...what the hell does that mean? I guess that shows all those artificial brewing fuckers out there huh?

Looks ok...yellow colored...minimal head...some cooked corn on the aroma..smells malty for a an adjunct lager...

On first taste I'm initially struck with how sweet this is for the style...but it is kind of a cheap malt liqourish sweetness...has a sweet apple like fruitiness too...certainly not a clean tasting beer...but never the less the taste is more assertive than most in this style..

Body is on the light side of medium...maybe I'm just thirsty but it's going down fast....lacks any real harsh taste...the sweetness could get to you if you are kicking back 13...or 14 or so but for one beer it is fine....I could see buying this if I was back in college..until I drank 13...14 or so and figured out this is too sweet to session with (as we boys used to call it back in the day)...

I picked this one up in what had to be one of the shittiest liquor stores I have ever been in. This place was so crappy, they didn't even have singles of Bud or Miller Lite. But they had this one available. $0.92 for a 24oz can. I couldn't resist.

A: Very light pale yellow with a fizzy white head. Little retention. Exceedingly clear.

S: Sweet corn malt, reminiscent of Capt'n Crunch. Rice and a bit of perfumed hops.

T: Very mild flavor of slightly sweet graininess. Corn. A slightly off-putting acrid aftertaste.

M: Light in body with heavier carbonation. Clean and almost crisp.

D: Considering how close this one is to drinking straight tap water, I don't see how this couldn't be an easy drinker. And while I wouldn't go so far as to consider this anything coming close to a pilsner (as the label would suggest), this beer is surprisingly drinkable.

Huge thanks to swalden28 for sharing this great canned beverage.

The beer pours a clear light yellow color with a white head. The aroma is grainy with some grassy hops. The flavor is grain and corn with not too much else. The mouthfeel is pretty watery and the carbonation is about medium. A standard adjunct-laden lager with nothing good going on.

Lost Lake, found in a liquor store in OKC, was pretty darn cheap. I was hoping for a nice substitute for my cheap chuggin favorite, Old Milwaukee.... It wasn't.

It poured a pale gold, clarity was good. Lots of bubbles ran up to a quickly fading head.

The nose did have flavor, controversial though. Honey, cereal grains, almost rotting fruit, and a musty funk did what they could to impress me.

The flavor was better out of the glass than the can. But really, I just smuggled em into my golf bag for refreshment on the course, and it never did start to taste any better. Honey, corn flakes, and sourness was the verdict.

The mouthfeel wasn't too watery or dull actually. Light and fizzy was a given, yet there was a slippery yet syrupy texture to it.

It should be easy to drink, given it's purpose, but it's just not even good enough to do that. I'll be glad when this 12 pack is gone.
