Pours a sparkling light golden color with thin, quickly discipitating white head. Subdued aroma with slightly discernible corn/rice malt scent. Very thin mouthfeel and a lot of carbonation. Weak flavor with subtle hints of rice/corn flakes. Crisp, short finish with clean, very gentle hop bitterness. Try with backyard grilled chicken or meat, or a cheeseburger with french fries.

read no further if easily offended. if i could go lower with the score i would. this stuff is basically water with a little bit of coloring and alka seltzer added. how anyone could actually taste this beer is beyond me. trying to add fruits to it only makes it taste worse. drinking it is a punishment to human intelligence. should be sold as package deal with a beer bong.

Eh, did the job back in the day, it is still way better than Miller Lite.

Ugh, there are cheaper ways to get drunk. Personally, I’d rather hit myself in the head with the bottle a dozen times. Aroma. I think I smell something.... or am I sitting to close to the men’s room.... Appearance. Same caramel coloring as the full-strength. Flavor... it’s like a less-tastable version of the full... or a little more like MGD.... Yeah, stick to doing shots if you want to get wasted for cheap.

How could I ever have drank this? The taste is more like slightly strange tasting water. The ultimate test was complete when that was my only option at a hotel I was at. I tried to shandy it to give it something but to no avail. I settled for a diet coke! With the big beer makers push to try and convince people that they actually use hops I tried hard for any incling of a hop taste. That got me focusing on the tastee so things went down hill. Hopefully the big players do not use the hop shortage to try and dent the inroads craft brewing has made to the masses.

Smells of corn, is that a hint of malt?.. nah. Palest yellow, tiny short lived white head. Tastes like watered down corn syrup with a trace of metal. Thin. Whew, this doesn’t even qualify as a lawn mower beer.

A $7 Crap filled plastic cup @ Fenway park. Basically a cup of water that can get you drunk. A thin weak head followed by a plain, watery, uneventful taste. My 1.4 is on appearance alone and I have had too few watery light beers in the past year to compare it fairly to. If you pay more than 10 bucks for a 30 pack at your local supermarket you overpaid.
