I am rating his because i am damn close to 100 beers and this is in my fridge. I will preface this rating by saying that this can has been in my fridge for over a year. I will now open the can and let the magic begin. Pours a transparent bright yellow with a 2 finger white foamy head. Nose is sour, like lemon grass with just a hint of malt. Taste is pale malt, just a hint of hops and then nothing. Doesn’t taste bad, just not a whole lot going on. It’s funny how when you sit down and rate these macros, i mean really rate them, they are not horrible, just not full and complex like most craft beer drinkers prefer. My guess is that if any home brewer pulled this out of a batch they would probably be pretty proud of it. (if, of course, for some reason they where actually TRYING to make a clear pale lager water drink. (and this shit is so cheap!) C’mon, you really going to sit out on the boat and pound Chimays all day?

Jul 13, 2008 I bought some for cheap beer additive for cooking. It damn near ruined my chili! Smelled of beery soda water, sulfur. Grainy, thin, sulfuric. Pretty awful. Not straw but a light golden color.

Jul 10, 2008 Pours a clear pale yellow with thin white head. Smells offensively grainy. Corny and buttery flavor. Thin body with moderate carbonation. bad finish. But it is only 60cents per can.

Jul 9, 2008 The cheapest beer at safeway, comming in at 5.4 cents per ounce (cheaper than most malt liquors). 50% cheaper than MGD. To be able to rate beer you have to taste the extremes. This isn’t that bad if you want bad 7-Up that will get you drunk eventually.
Back to rating, it hides its 4.6% alcohol behind the weird metallic unsafe to drink mountain water taste. GREAT carbonation! It is what you expect it to be. Its also 1/3 the cost of good beer...so does good beer taste 3 times better? YES!
BTW, the can says " Smooth as its name" I dont think of smoothness when I think of bushes....????!?!?!???

Jul 3, 2008 What is there really to say? If you’ve tasted one american macrobrew, you tasted them all. Not much difference here. Very light malts and hops, high carbonation. Take it for what it is and don’t expect more.

Jun 28, 2008 The usual pale yellow macro beer look and aroma of corn. Week corn taste. You would only drink this if there was nothing else to drink.
