Smells absolutely terrible. Luckily it dissipates once it’s been poured out. Looks bland. Tastes bland. Ugh.

Bottle as shown. Pours a orange golden with a small frothy white head that diminishes quickly leaving spotty lacing along the glass. The aroma is a skunky corn malt and wet bread. Thin mouthfeel with a clean bready malt with a watery finish. Easy to drink but not much flavor with this pale lager.

(16 ounce can) Aroma of bad hops alcohol and barley. Taste is watery and has a sweet malt side also. It also has a un-premium hoppy taste too. Light to medium carbonation, long watery bitter after finish.

(bottle - 12 oz) Clear golden color with a fizzy white head and mild carbonation. Aroma is full of corn and dry grass. Has the same bitter, skunked aroma of Heineken, but milder. Flavor is much milder than Heineken. Light and dry grass at the beginning with a very mild hop middle. Finish has a light sweet hint and a mild corn note. Thin and watery.

Light straw color; Light creamy body; Aroma and flavor of sweet malt, some hops & caramel; Overall, way too light and bland – as a light beer though, it serves a purpose I suppose; Better than average light beer for me - you can put back a few of these in no time.

Bottled. Poured clear apple juicy yellow with a short, fizzy white head. The aroma was skunky right away, mellowing a bit as it had a chance to breathe.. light floral and honey notes came after that.. not all that bad overall, but weak. The flavor had very light hay and grassy bitterness over honey and pale malts.. again there was a soft, but present skunk factor.. finished quick, dry, and grassy. Light-bodied with a dry, scratchy, grainy feel on the palate.. non-offensive in the end, but it was also non-alotofthings.

Bottle. Pours pale golden, with little to no head. Aroma of hay, hops, and not much else. Thin, weak body. Same thing as Heineken with less flavor.

I enjoy this for a light beer. Not much for aroma. Pours a golden color with a minimal head. Not much lacing. Goes down pretty smooth and is easy to drink. I recommend this over many mass produced light beers.
