(can) Clear apple juice body with medium white head. Aroma is faint, corn, mild sweet, artificial, slightly soured milk. Taste is minimal -- medium sweet corn, finishing with an unpleasant "filling without substance" feeling. Very light body. I cannot imagine a worthier beer for #2000 -- thanks so much Dan.

Can. When opened I though "oh god, I don’t know where to start". Sitting here in Sumpter, OR at the town grocery store/gift shop/museum and I see thi beast, I couldn’t resist. Watery flavor and essence. Not like most NA beers where it’s like sugary wort, this actually has enough adjuncts in it to be super saturated with them. Smells like dishwater & butane. Tastes like pine sap and spoiled corn husks. Could be used as slug bait, but I see no benefit of drinking this.
