    Don't give out your ratings...we don't care that your ranked nearly all adjuncts below a 3 because you are a beer snob, but I just thought it would be interesting to see what the top 3 and worst 3 are just to see if some trends emerge.

    My top 3 are #1 Rolling Rock #2 Landshark and #3 Dos Equis Special Lager

    Worst 3 I have listed are Mountain Crest Classic (Minhaus "Craft" Brewers), Gold Mine by World Brews and PBR.

    I guess my general trend is that I like my adjuncts very watery and easy to guzzle. Trying to up the flavor profile into American adjuncts usually ends up with off-taste or bad flavoring to me anyway.

    Prefer corn on the cob, jasmine rice, and no close third.

    If I must, I guess Moosehead, dos Equis green, and carlsberg

    Unfortunately, Yuengling's website says they use "corn for body." I'll never stop drinking Yuengling.

    I would have chosen Yuengling something as a favorite if they brewed an adjunct lager which they don't
