Reminds me too much of Bud. It has a skunky taste to it that I didn’t like. Looked great in the glass but no aroma to speak of and a very thin watery fell.

Pours a nice golden color, with a loose head a malty aroma. Flavor is malts, with some sweetness; very light. Would definitely recommend.

Poured into a tumber (all that was available). Appearance is golden with carbonation. Head adequate. Aroma was earthy and matly. Flavor was light and would fit nicely alongside a light ale.

Deep golden color......thick, white head. Sweet malt aroma, with a front that is similar in nature. Mouthfeel is crisp, yet not overly carbonated. Slightly bitter back......lasting, dry finish.

12oz from a beer club. Whoa, I actually think this one might have made me a bit ill. It certainly didn’t help out, even if it wasn’t the culprit. Typically vibrant golden beer, nothing offensive on the pour, but a really thin mouthfeel with some weird acrid taste on top of what might otherwise be blandly inoffensive. Bad.

Beer of the Month Club Selection. Poured from a refrigerated bottle into a pint glass. Pour produced a clear, golden, body with a large off-white head of foam, with high retention. Some light citrus (detergent?) notes, but not much else. Initial taste is sweet and lightly carbonated, almost flat. Not much aftertaste, other than a bitterness at the end. Mouthfeel is a bit watery, though somewhat sticky. There is not much complexity to this brew, it is a sweet, quickly consumed mixture that if it did indeed win the Silver medal in the World Beer Cup, it makes me wonder about the veracity of the award. I believe Miller Lite has won an award from this group.

Pour is a bright golden with a small white head. Aroma is hard to detect with some caramel malt and nothing else. Flavor is sweet and a touch fruity with a really weird sour tartness after the swallow. This is boring and that is being kind. Nothing really going on here.
