Can: Oh, Boy! Pours a color that resembles yellow snow more than anything I can think of. Not much of a smell, kind of sweet, and not much of a taste. Didn’t offend me, but if I had to make a choice I’d take H2O.

I noticed that I still have not rated a low alcohol beer. Here’s my chance to sample a low alcohol and the worst rated beer in the database. Personally, I am more terrified of drinking this than going to my dentist twice a year. Pours a near clear golden brew with a medium head that quickly dissolves clean. Aroma of bread dough and some citrus. Taste is high carbonated very light body and hardly any flavor. Finish is high carbonation, metalic and then clean. But going down was rougher than my neighbor’s dog barking at the moon all last night.

Can. A pale yellow color with a thick quickly diminishing fizzy white head Aroma is a light sweet malt ,dry and grainy malt with a bit of corn, but not sickly sweet. Flavor is lightly sweet with a bit of skunk or maybe it is hops, who knows. Watery light body with lots of carbonation, no lacing,finish and aftertaste are a little barn-yardish.No beer buzz.

Why am i rating this and why did i drink it? well having a pregnant wife, this somehow found its way to my fridge, and im still not sure why i decided to drink one. Not sure how to review it since it tastes like tap water with a little hint of iron. some ratings might be a bit harsh, cause i didnt think it was really terrible, just tasted like nothing. absolutley no flavor. So tasted exactly like Miller Lite. actually, i think i would drink this over Miller or Bud Lite.

Pale yellow color with a fizzy white head. Aroma of corn and funk. Very watery flavor, some light corn and some faint hops. The lack of alcohol has a very noticable effect on the flavor, leaving it with a heavier water consistency. Unlike their alcoholic counterparts, this isn’t going to improve with excess drinking.

"Hey, did you find something to rate for your 500th?" "yeah, why did you have something in mind?" "Well, I was thinking Busch N/A since it’s the lowest rated beer on the site." "oh, well it’s a little late." "We should taste some tonight anyway." "Yeah, that’s a good idea" And that’s how this nightmare began. "Yeah, that’s a good idea" kept resonating in my mind and depressing me with each painful sip I took of this crap. I poured the can, best before Nov. 17, 2007 by the "110 day freshness" thing on the side, into a big snifter and Chris did the same with his can. Due to the wideness of the snifter, some golden color was definitely noticed. Near the narrowest portion of the glass, however, this looked like dirty water. The nose isn’t powerfully offensive. It takes contemplation and effort to really dissect the disgust and problems here. I knew instantly I didn’t like what I was holding to my nose, but at the same time it did remotely smell like a beverage. I’d say the fact that this comes in a can really helps the beer from being overly aggressively foul. The first thing I think of is a bag of ancient, crushed Nasty Ice cans waiting to be taken to the recycling center so Bubba can get some extra cash to buy more. The aroma smells like old remnants of what used to house beer. Soggy cardboard and corn are there too. But still, it’s not putrid. I grudgingly took a sip. Of course I’m thinking, "Why is this a ’good idea’?" Why did I consent to this palate rape? First sip. . .not that bad. Cereal, bland corn, cardboard, grains. Not much going on really. It’s really thin, not horribly awry in anyway. I remember that is how I felt about Mott’s Clamato during the first sip *shiver*. It wasn’t all that bad. It took four or five sips to really get the effect. Each time I took a taste of good old Busch N/A, I got a little sicker to my stomach, probably just because I was pretty hungry and my body wanted something that didn’t taste this horrible. A building sugary sweetness became noticed as well as pencil erasers. Basically, a sense of being completely underwhelmed overtook me. This is so lifeless. I felt like a zombie sitting at a table just swilling back my rationed flavored liquid. I don’t understand why (even though I did tonight) anyone would drink this. I would definitely rather have water. Hell, I’d rather have Kaliber. The can kills me with the usual nonsensical or whimsical musings that I’ve come to expect from BMC. "Fully brewed"? What, as opposed to partially brewed? "Includes malt. . .cereal grains, water, yeast, nothing artificial". Great, dog crap isn’t artificial. I mean, jeez. Why? I felt guilty putting this in my body knowing I wouldn’t even be rewarded with some level of intoxication. Maybe that’s why everyone hates this beer so much, because no one reaches the "dude, I’m kinda drunk. Maybe I could chug another one of these to feel good after a hard day’s work" level. No, they’re just stone cold sober, fully aware of what they’re willingly inflicting on themselves.
