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?

Going into this expecting the worst. Appearance isn’t bad. yellow, with a nice head. Smells of randomly cheap beer, but not terrible. Taste is actually not bad. It’s drinkable... and cheap as hell. Why not?

I was surprised how much I enjoyed this beer, it reminds of a Macrobrew but done correctly. flavorful with a right amount of malt, no bitterness. I think this is the type of beer you should drink at football games.

Thanks Mike for sending this. I’ve come close to buying it at the Class VI store on base a few times but didn’t have the guts. What a surprise to find an aluminum bottle of this tucked neatly "along for the ride" in with the Dark Lord, Cuvee de Tomme, and Bells Batch 5000. Pours a translucent straw colored body with small-medium white head. Aroma is light, bready, grassy. Taste is the same, and acutally hints that some genuine barley went into this....what a pleasant surprise. Very lightly carbonated....another surprise. This actually had some nice bitterness in the finish. While it’s still a barely average lager, you could do far far worse. Thanks Mike!

12oz can, labeled as Olde Frothingslosh, courtesy of hopscotch (via argo0). Thanks, guys! Pours a hazy, whitish-yellow color; white head with patchy lacing. Light citrus and sugar in the aroma; nothing offensive. Light-to-medium mouthfeel: grapey upfront, with some sugar and average carbonation. Quick, slightly grapey finish.

Bottle at Pramanti’s in Pitt. Typical light American lager: mild hops and watery but bright palate. It is the local classic so I had to try it. Went well with my pastrami sandwich though!

Bottle. Aroma doesn’t really standout much. Color is golden with a decent head while pouring. Better than Bud by far.
