clear piss yellow with a non-existent head. Smell is sweet with a kiss of hops. Corn and dirt. this does not look appetizing. Taste is sweet, corny. Clean and unoffensive. Very little hops.

Pale yellow with no head and mild carbonation. Very faint aroma, with some corn and wet wood present. Tastes corny sweet with no hop flavors but enough bittering hops to dry it out and keep it from being cloying. Actually has a little more mouthfeel than the other Berghoff watery beers. Remindes me of Grain Belt Premium only slightly drier and less clean in the aftertaste. Not something to seek out, but would drink again for free.

THoroughly enjoyable beer, one of my favorite styles though, Nice malty/watery sort of flavor, only real complaint I have is the slightly metalic aftertaste, overall heads up beer.

Clear yellow color, slim, but persistent head of foam, turns to a mere whitish ring. Aroma: flat, dry, nothing much. Taste: a trifle sweet, cornish, the malt seems in charge here (certainly, any amount of hops are left unspoken), and plays thickly on the palate for a stretch. Just a little bit tasty, and then it cloys for a second, and them, oddly, I forgive it. It’s for people who think "beer" comes in only one variety, and if it tastes like this, much better than the alternatives. Still, a drab, one-dimensional affair, strictly meant for those who like such things. I’d drink one if foisted on me, and with little choice available, but it’s nothing to set the woods on fire, folks.

On tap at O’Hare Airport. Rich golden color. White head with good lacing. Aroma of yeast. Sharp and bitter flavor is detectable, but not pronounced. Solid body, but nowhere near real fresh German lager.

Golden, weak head. A bit too sweet with a slight hop character. A step above BMC, nothing more.

Nice golden color,small white head that faded quickly leaving little behind.The aroma was malty and mildly fruity with a slight hint of hops.The flavor was mildly malty a slight sweetness and the hops come through decent enough.Over all it’s not a bad brew but it could be better.Decent enough for another go around.
