This is definitely the worst beer I have ever had. Very little head flattened out quickly. The only good thing about this beer is the price, 8.99 a case. Poured clear into a pint glass with a harsh brown tint. Very strong bad flavor that did not settle right. The mouthfeel was taken over by the bad taste and the smell was horendous. F for this beer and I recommend it to kids who have never had a beer and want to try it, it might lure them away from drinking.

pours out a clear light golden colour, with a very thin, fine, snow white head leaving little lacing. very sweet aroma, definitely adjunct ridden but some malt character, also. taste is quite corny, sweet and a bit raw from a slight wisp of booziness. not real offensive, but not too good, either. there is a hint of husky graininess that dies before a wave of wateriness floods over the senses. no real hop bitterness to speak of. thin body, with a mouthfeel that is momentarily crisp, then weak and watery. not real drinkable to any extent.

another cheap, boring, bland lager-type beverage from gluek. better than the regular pilsner, but still crappy.

a good cheap beer to boil brats, soak sausage, do a beer can chicken, etc. with.

Can is labelled "Old European Brewing - Cold Spring, MN"
I believe it is brewed at Gluek's for the former San Diego Brewery. (just a guess)

Purchased at Cub Foods. $8.88 for a 24pk cans
Was told that it is brewed specifically for Cub Foods.

Light airy foam head settles flat quickly.
Clear light yellow in color.
Sweet smelling aroma.
Light body and light taste with a faint medicinal aftertaste, but not bad.
Just slightly more watered down than any other domestic macro brew.

This isn't an awful beer.
For the price its an incredible value.
