Brown glass bottle. Grain and corn and cigarette nose. Flavor is wet corn and hay, grains and starchy ash and tobacco. Tastes awful, simply put.

Aluminum bottle variety. Unfortunately, the bottle is the best part of the experience. Virtually indistinguishable from your standard commercial American lagers. At least it has a decent amber coloring in lieu of the traditional Bud-piss yellow hue common to this kind of beer.

ALUMINUM BOTTLE I found this beer to be much less sweet than Stoneys which we drank side by side during the Steelers win. However it had much less flavor too. It’s not quite as bland as I remember from years past, My guess is most all macros have cranked it up a notch.

Aluminium bottle. Drinking this to enjoy the Steeler’s OT victory vs the Jets. Clean crisp cold generic lager. Its not that bad for an american standard, but hell its still beer.

Ooh! An aluminum bottle. Nose is sweet, some grass and grains. Nobleish hops, overly sweet. Aside from being too sweet is is ok, but why would I ever really want to drink this?

grass and moldy cheese aroma. cremey palate, but it’s cheesy. for the most part this is grass, corn, bread, and cheese. weird. cool bottle, though--points for the aluminum beer bottle! however, this shit ain’t refreshing. it’s... a... thickish lager and i don’t like that, but it’s not bad... i just don’t know what the funk these guys were thinking when the recipe was being made! not what i expected!

Unusual aluminum bottle. a rather pale, straw and very clear yellow color with a small white head. flavor is quite bland and rather non-desccipt.

Standard. Yellow, milky white head. Had this from the new aluminum bottle. Musky aroma. Solid malt, like a brick building. Only for steelworkers.
