I threw this in with a few trades when the bottle/can first came out, cause it looked pretty cool. To those that got this from me, I appologize. Taste was nothing but corn. Not only that, but it didn’t even have much head retention if any. Total drainpour.

Clear light yellow color, heavy on the corn aroma, slight malt and adjunct initial taste which quickly becomes dull corn. The metal bottle is cool. Its nice to try beers like this once in a while to make us realize where we were before we got into fine craft brews

Had this while in Pittsburgh over the holidays. Absolute crap! I think I could actually taste the iron in this beer. You know it is pretty bad. When steeler fans offer to buy you this beer and you have to turn it down.

Metal bottle version: Pours crystal clear gold with a thin white head. Tiny bubbles and almost no lacing. The aroma is pretty sweet but nondistinct. Light-bodied and actually has a tiny bit of malt and corn flavor. At least there is nothing offensive going on. The finish is short and almost flavorless, aside from a bit of grain and malt. Of the macro Lager type beers, this is one of the better.

I finally broke down and bought one of these just because of the cool metal bottle. Unfortunately that’s all that was outstanding about this beer. Corn and grain aroma. Corn adjunct and grainy taste. Unpleasent roughness. Nothing here to make me want to buy another one. I will keep the bottle though

Tastes like metal. Leaves no aftertaste in mouth. Beer was in an aluminum bottle, and tasted like it came from a can. If your going to put a beer in a bottle, it might as well be glass. Wouldnt drink this again.

Poured a golden color with a small white head and no lacing. Sweet, malty, corn, grain aroma. Grainy, malty, lightly sour, abbrasive mouthfeel. Extra appearance points for innovative aluminum bottle.
