Beer #4 from Thedm’s "6-pack of Death" - Thin yellow, very carbonated - it hurts the back of my throat. As it warms, a thin malt appears and becomes sticky at the finish.

Pee yellow and watery....the same as regular Old Style. I tasted/saw/felt no difference.

Very pale yellow with a thin white head. Thedm was sharing his swill, and I got this can. Nothing really offensive, especially when very cold. Thin corn sweetness as it warmed. Nothing really interesting either.

Nothing much to say here. Like regular Heileman's with less taste and more dilution. Nothing to see here.

Well, it's a light beer and as you'd expect it's sort of a watered down version of Old Style. Better than most of the style but that's not saying much.

As a side note, I should mention that I have a couple drinking buddies who swear by this stuff because you can drink a whole case of it and still not have a headache the next morning. I mean, you can't think but at least it's not painful.

Not real good, Kind of a flat watered down Lacrosse Light, yet it has more of a corn flavor than that, not one to have again.

Can. A small white head that was creamy and smooth with fine-medium sized bubbles that quickly dissipated. The body had fast rising carbonated and clear with a yellow hue. The aroma was malty and little hops. The flavor was rather bland tasting. The lacing was very, very sparse.

A good one because it actually has flavor. Not too light and very drinkable in mass quantities.
