12oz twist-off bottle. Side by side with IC light. Clear, golden pale. White foamy head. Appearance is typical of style. Aroma of of canned corn (salt added and very sweet niblets). Again typical. Roasted corn flavor, finishes with a hop stalk bite. I gotta vomit now.

Gold, short lasting fizzy head turns into a thin layer of soapy looking bubbles, very little lacing. Sweet with a very odd aftertaste that I could only describe as "ACK!". Palate is both grainy and oily. No hop character at all.

Aluminium bottle: Poured a pale yellow lager with a medium white bubbly head with good retention. Aroma of corn is clearly noticeable and very little else seems to pop out. Taste is refreshing with some malt presence and crisper hops then expected. Just above your average pale lager.

Pour is lively golden yellow with a tight dense off white head...smell is sour and grainy...taste is skunky...thin bodied...I can’t wait for the IC Light which is on deck!

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!

Yellow, big fizzy head that fades and remains a thinnish bit. Aroma of embalming fluid, yummy! Palate so rough that it practically chews on your tongue. Flavor of corn, hairspray. Nasty stuff.

04.11.05 12oz alumibottle ’thanks’ to Eyedrinkale. For god’s sake Mike, what did I do to deserve this? I mean, I thought we were pals? I shared a 20 year old Liefman’s Kriek with you and you thank me with this corn soup?

okay, that’s outta my system...lol
Pale straw pour looks like a hundred other beers out there; big white head fades. Aroma is cornflakes. I’d swear there are no hops before I even sip the stuff. Not much taste al all other than more corn flakes. True, it’s not very good. The bottle was cool; I guess the high average score is a sentimental vote.
