| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Jul 22, 2005 pours a thin white head. Color is a yellow-gold. Aroma has a scent of lime. Flavor is good and nice carbonation level. Finishes a bit flat-metallic. Almost as good as Tsing Tao. Bov (5478), Bienne, Switzerland
| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Oct 12, 2002 clear yellow-orange colour, no head, candy sugar and light perfumy aroma, too much carbonation, bitter floral finish - not that bad for something "largest-selling" Cletus (5057), Connecticut, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 5, 2009 Pours copper with a nice white head. Smells perfumy with some sweet malt hints. Tastes sweet and malty with a grassy, earthy finish. Cornfield (4952), Oak Forest, Illinois, USA
| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 8/20 | Dec 12, 2005 "America’s largest selling ale." !?!?! That’s what it says on the label, anyway. Understandable in a country (my country!) that thrives on BMC pale lagers. Anywho - it’s a nice golden color. The aroma is watery, bready with a suggestion of hops. Thin in the mouth, the flavor is almost tasteable, a mild sweet malt mixed with vast amounts of water. The finish, almost unnoticed, is a final dab of sweet malt.

| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Feb 10, 2006 Really only a shell of its former self. But, when I mean former, I remember it had some real ale qualities 25 years ago, but now I have to dance with who brung ya. Light golden color with a smallish off-white head. Aromas of white soda, grain, quinine and a hint of spicy hops. Light sweet malt mix with a touch of grain and herbal hops. Some raw flavors seem to suggest real hops, but still a touch thin and tinny.

Medium grainy and hop flavor with a short finish. Better than the standard macro. DocLock (4648), Lower Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania, USA

Tastes slightly malty, with some hops and chardonnay in the finish. I’m not sure what the XXX is supposed to mean....maybe the movie playing in John Kruk’s announcing booth?
