It’s shaped and capped like a bottle, but formed of aluminum..."alumabottle"? "can’bot I can’t crush it, nor will break when dropped...huh! Clear, clean, pale yellow hue, small head disappears instantly. Aroma: faint, yet still foul. Cooked corn, spoiled grain...not pleasant in the least. Sweet, yet putrid. I fear to drink it... Taste: hollow, wet, no taste to speak of, no flavor, no character, any trace of the above vanishes immediately. What little taste there is holds no appeal, even cannot be redeemed by the lightness, follows through in the finish. Not good. If were stuck on a desert island with nothing but this beer, I’d try my best to grow gills and get away!

Alumabottle. Pours a clear yellow with a small white head that disappears quickly. Strong taste of corn and sweeteners. I purchased this beer more for the container than for the beer itself!

Al Bottle. Yellow body with a thin ring of bubbbles. Taste-holy burnt plastic, Batman! Are you kidding me? Tastes burned, scorched, and neglected! Not only does this taste like a bad macro, it tastes like a bad macro filtered through the remains of a burnt plastic factory! You guys are going to have to come up with a better gimick than a metal bottle...

Gross. Although the aluminum bottle looks neat. OK.. I have to use more space for the review... So... No flavor, No hops, No color. Leaves you asking what you just paid for.

Aluminum bottle. Pale yellow with a thin white head. Aroma of grains and grass. Flavor of corn and sweetener with a slight hint of malt. Even has a bit of hops bitterness in the finish. For the price, not bad but certainly nothing special.

Not a bad beer at all. About the best you can get for the price. Obviously not as good as a mediocre micro, but still better than the big names.
