Labelled as Motown Lager. The body is cloudy yellow with a bright white head. The aroma has notes of moldy dishrags and old rotting apples. There is also some cheap brandy. The taste has souring notes of sweat and apple cider that has gone apple jack. There is also some bologna. Nasty stuff.

12 oz bottle. Pale yellow straw with little head...light malty, grassy nose, indistinct but fresh enough...touches of bitter grass in the body, light sweetness. Grainy malts with a light farmy undertone and mild finishing bitterness. Mouthfeel is smooth and lightly creamy almost, with very low carbonation for the style.

BO\ottle: Surprisingly good pale lager, with the understanding that most pale lagers are not good at all. Drinkable.

this is one of the worst micros i have ever had..clear yellow/gold body with no head...the only way i can describe the aroma is to imagine driving by a water treatment plant with the windows down..sewage..flavor is sickly sour, putrid, and perhaps deadly to most mammals..this simply cannot be enjoyed
