This is something that they try to advertise as beer. The only reason to buy this stuff is if they are out of Natural Ice and you are near broke and desperate.

Can bought at the Utah State Store. Pours a clear yellow with a large frothy head that dies down to next to nothing. The aroma is sweet corn, malts and grasses. The flavor is pretty sweet, I don’t know how this is hoppy, it seems a mixture of skunked malts and some alcohol. Not horrible, but not good.

Pours a clear pale straw yellow with a foamy white head that dissipated extremely quickly. Malts come across most clearly on the nose with almost no hint of hops. There is an underlying aroma that I could only describe as "metallic". Taste of alcohol comes across most clearly with malts and very slight hops coming through almost as an aftertaste. Finishes with a metallic aftertaste. Overall, better than Bud Light or Miller Lite, but not by much.

I keep trying these bad beers and they pretty much all taste the same....sweetened water. I did notice the alcohol taste a little more than in the other macro brew pale lagers. It’s cheap..you get what you pay for.

My guilty pleasure. Is a cheap, not bad tasting beer if you just want something to consume in mass quantities. Will have this everyday of the week over a bud light or high life. Has a little bit of a strong alcohol taste but is nicely masked by the hop taste. Finishes fairly smooth.
