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.

I’m glad that their new aluminum bottles gives them something to get excited about, because it’s gotta be real hard for a brewer to get worked up over this piss-water. Poured from the metal bottle, it’s a deep yellow color with a rapidly vanishing head. Coupled with the lack of carbonation, this stuff has the presentation of a 1st-class, 40-oz, brown bottled-malt liquor. It smells like rotting corn and rusted cans. Sadly, it tastes worse. And for those of you who enjoy such things, it has a metallic finish that leaves your tongue burning. Enjoy!

Dark straw color with a fizzy big bubbled head that diminishes quickly. Industrial aroma. Corn and resin initially in the nose, but malt is detected with a full sniff. Some sweet malt and mild dry grassy hops. A touch over carbonated and slightwatery flavor. Actually better than I remember Iron Chitty.

Metal bottle. Clear pale color with an average white head that diminished quickly. Light grass hop aroma. Light body with a watery texture with soft carbonation. Light sweet flavor with a bitter finish of short duratoin. Better than my expectations.

I used to drink IC Light all the time in college, and I prefer it to regular IC. This one always seemed to have a metallic taste, but it was still head and shoulders above BMC shit.

Bottle can at LCBO. Pale yellow lager with collapsable head. Sweet vcorn and rotten eggs in aroma, like Pittsburg smokestacks. Light malted mineral water, just as refreshing (considering the temp.).

Head is initially average sized, frothy, off-white, mostly diminishing. Body is clear medium yellow. Aroma is moderately malty (bread, toasted grain), lightly hoppy (herbs), hint of DMS. Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly sweet, moderately bitter. Light to medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. Well kiss my grits...I do believe they actually put barley in this! Not fizzy, almost no DMS stench, decent malt base, reasonably clean, and enough bitterness to make it drinkable. I dare say this is underrated.
