remember seeing this beer as a kid withthe pittsburgh steelers on the can Gold colour, poor head retention, a few tiny bubbles stuck to the edge of the glass then totally vanished. Aroma was corny, a little grain. Very light in the flavour dept, weak citrus note, thin malt and corn. Thin body, average carboantion. Corny grainy clinging aftertaste

Poured from a can. Poured a clear gold color with a thin white head. Light, grainy aroma. Mild malty flavor that led to an obvious metallic taste. Hard to drink because of the metallic overtones. I like cheap beer, but didn’t like this one.

THOUGHTS: Not very good. A little rough to drink, but not as bas as I thought it would be. TECHNICAL: Bottle. Poured a light, clear yellow with nice carbonation and little white pieces like coconut shavings or confetti at the bottom of a clean glass. It also had a small, white head that fully diminished and left virtually no lacing. The aroma was light grassy hops, cooked corn and light vinegar. The initial flavor was sweet; while the finish was sour and slightly bitter with a short duration. There was malt, lemony honey, grassy hops and water. The light to medium body was watery and then slightly dry with tingly to fizzy carbonation and a light astringent finish.

This beer pours off amber with a minmal head. It is a classic that has lost its way or has it. I had no complaints and for the price....good for over indudging!

A steel bottle of beer? Really? Great idea, average pale lager. I have to admit, seeing a bottle made of metal was the main selling point. That and the fact that a single cost about a buck. Overall points for that originality.

Not interested in beating this beer up; plain and simple drink, not drastically different than Bud, Miller, or Coors.

Ok, honestly, this beer (and any beer like it) gets bonus appearance points for the aluminum bottle. Didn’t expect much from this beer, but was pleasantly surprised. One of the better lager’s I’ve had in a while.
