From a 355 ml can purchased at a Cincinnati, Ohio Kroger’s - Pours a pale golden brew with a fizzy white head of foam and sweet, malty aroma. T%tastewise... eh, just another American pale lagher.

12oz can. Aroma is cheap macro grains and metal. Pee yellow hue with fizzy white head that diminished and left little lace. Flavor is cheap macro swill that somewhat resembles lager beer. Palate is light and lively. Overall another crappy lager, no surprises here.

Can from Ralphs. Light golden in color. Sweet corn aroma. Very sweet aroma. Grain and malts dominate the flavor. A hint of bitterness. Not the worst pale lager out there. Not too good either.

Had been planning to drink my Lagunitas Gnarleywine barleywine tonight - but after getting back from a 3-mile jog in our 90 Degree day Western Washington day, I opened the fridge, saw this, and decided to put of the big guy until I rehydrate with a cold canned lager. That being said, it was very refreshing out of a icey tin can, but tasted like what you would expect; sweet corn, grain, and sour hops. Oh well - lanwmower beer? If its all you got then go ahead. I think they could serve this in those little paper cups at marathons that they hand to runners and they would never bat an eye when slamming one down at mile 19.

Friend brought this over for a cookout. Drank straight from the can, cause thats what you do with cheap beer. Nice light flavor of grass, and a pretty decent American lager. Be a good canoeing beer. Cause its cheap and you dont mind when you spill cheap beer in the canoe. Definitely more drinkable than the other mass produced crap. Not something I would want every day of course.

I pickd up this beer at Fry’s Food Store (Kroger) for $6 a 12-pack. I have some friend coming over from Wisconsin and wanted to make them feel at home. This is actually a very good American Style commercial lager. Very clean malty nose, no graininess or corn smell. No discernable hop aroma but it has about 8-10 IBU’s of bitterness. Malty sweetness is present but not overly so and is appropriate for style. Pours a clear pale golden color and a thick head with some staying power.
