Jul 31, 2005 Bottled. Pours a light golden color. Aroma is like that of sweet canned corn. Sweet and malty. The finish ipretty watery, but overall it isn’t really all that bad considering what it is.

Jul 31, 2005 Updated: Jun 27, 2006Or "Arn city" as the locals pronounce it. Sampled from a 16 oz can - ice cold - as that is the only survivable way to drink this one. It pours a medium golden color with a large soapy white head. The aroma is sour macro tang. The flavor is your typical macro sour tangy loaded with corn. Uggh.

Jul 31, 2005 Way too sweet-dextrose? Makes plain lager drinkable though. Artificial candy aroma. Appropriately carbonated.Thin mouthfeel. Not worth finishing bottle

Jul 30, 2005 When I recently read about the financial struggles of the brewery, I wanted to get a bottle of this to say I had one of America’s classic brands. Lo and behold, they actually started bringing this to Dallas in the past month or so. I had the aluminum bottle, and I love the design; there are touches in the bottle that are both "throwback" and "modern" in styling, very attractive. The beer itself is a vivid yellow but otherwise unremarkable in appearance. The aroma and flavor are both adjunct-laden, sweet with some corn and a fair dose of spaghetti bolognese (verily, I say), but I would also say this: it was clean in the sense that it wasn’t light-affected. I gave credit to the aluminum bottle and this is something I’d like to see more of in the future (I’ve had a few others, as well, and it is one of those convention-challenging moves that I like...it doesn’t come out metallic and it actually helps the beer. This was a particularly fresh bottle as well, of course.)

Jul 29, 2005 Bottle, lcbo. Yellow, thin white head. Corn aroma. Corn taste. Pretty bad. Harsh. Watery. Slightly sweet. Nope!

Jul 29, 2005 Stupid aluminum bottle from the LCBO courtesy of HogTownHarry - shared with tupalev & jerc. Pale yellow colour, tiny head. Unoffensive macro-style aroma and flavour, with grain and corn notes. Bland, bland, bland.

Jul 29, 2005 Fancy aluminum bottle. ooh. aaah... Pale yellow. Small muted grainy aroma. Sweet "premium" malty flavour. Thin, grainy, boring. Poor. No wonder Amber Brkich prefers Yuengling!

Jul 28, 2005 Below average. Golden colour. No special taste. Will be forgotten pretty fast.
