Crystal clear yellow brew. Large white head. Scattered lacing. Smells like an American standard/pilsener. Butterscotch, pepper and corn. Regarding flavor, it's a bit on the sweet side. Probably all the adjuncts. Not very malty... just sweet. Weak hops. Just a touch bitter... just a touch. Light-bodied with an oily mouthfeel and lively carbonation. Short, not-so-clean finish.

Dominated by corn, perhaps a hint of other grains; quick-dying artificial head; nasty metallic bitterness hints at the end. A cult beer in some parts of the East and Midwest; just like Coors used to be a cult beer everywhere that morons lived.
