Bottle.
Head is initially small, fizzy/frothy, white, mostly diminishing.
Body is clear light to medium yellow.
Aroma is lightly malty (grain, husks), trace hops (flowers), with notes of DMS and detergent.
Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly bitter.
Finish is lightly sweet, lightly to moderately bitter, husky, unclean.
Light to medium body, watery texture, fizzy carbonation.
I’m not sure I understand the point.

Jul 16, 2008 Yeah - I figured this was probably something AB or wolf in sheeps clothingness. Watery silliness. I can think of a number of far better "good if it’s hot and you’re thirsty and watching the game you want to drink 544 beers" type of beers.

Jul 16, 2008 Clear bottle with stencilled label, a la Corona (but not as cool). Typical pour with slack aroma like a budget pilsner. The taste is also similar to a budget pilsner. Could this be a budget pilsner? Not exactly - it is named a lager, and it was not that cheap, but it tastes like a mediocre Bohemian pilsner with some sugar added. This appears to be an attempt by Anheuser Busch to grab a chunk of Corona’s market share. So how is it with a little lime? Somewhat improved - but the Mexican is still the champion of sugary, lime-friendly brews that come in stencilled bottles.

does not count  Jul 16, 2008 Wow, love it or hate it apparently.
I didn’t realize it was Anheuser-Busch until just now. It’s obviously set to compete with Mexican imports, and that’s exactly what it’s good for.
Far better than Corona: NO SKUNK! Goes down easy, even warm without lime. Tastes like beer, nothing more. A bit watery. If you pour it out of the bottle, you have the wrong idea.

Jul 15, 2008 This stuff isn’t that bad, has a good clean taste. I can see why it’s become SO popular recently, it’s almost destroyed Corona around here
