Presentation: poured from a 16 oz can into a pint glass. The body has a light golden straw color with very good clarity. Its head is bright white and foamy. It builds up fast and thick before fading out quickly, leaving some bubbles around the edges of the glass. The aroma is very simple and typical of the style. There is a sweet grainy malt scent with lots of corn and rice adjunct notes and some far off grassy hops. Its flavor is similar to its aroma with a light sweet malt flavor that is full of grainy corn and rice. The hops add a light grassy flavor and some bitterness to the finish which ends quickly with a slightly corny aftertaste. It has a light body with a smooth watery texture and moderate carbonation. Overall it is light and easy to drink with a light price tag. It’s not bad for a cheap buzz although it’s not a beer I would normally seek out.

pours piss yellow, literally like you took a piss and it happened to land in a pint glass. taste like corn syrup. This doesn’t resemble beer to me, i’m surprised it’s labeled under the name beer.

A sweetish adjunct and stinky malt aroma. Clear yellow beer with a big white head. The can looks really shoddy - I don’t know how an outfit like AB with all the marketing resources in the world could have come out with such an amateurish-looking can. Now for the amateurish beer... Low bitterness,low flavor. Medium to medium light body, slightly oily texture. Aftertaste is a little tangy, with some unpleasant mouldering bitterness. Low quality, but it is a notch above malt liquor. The things I’ll do to get a last-minute rating in before the end of the month.

Pours from the 16 oz can the typical macro golden yellow with a somewhat impressive 2 finger head (on an angle-and-straighten pour) that quickly dissolves into a light collar. Macro fizziness abounds. It has an aroma that is reminiscent of moldy straw and cheese. There’s an initial hit of sweetness on the first sip, followed by a bitterness that seems more "chemical" that a result of hops being added. Mouthfeel is sharp & harsh, with a tingle on the tongue from the fizziness. If consumed both cold enough & fast enough so that it’s flavor is undetectable, I suppose one could knock back a few on a hot summer day. The Commercial Description at the top of the page states that this is a "subpremium-priced ice beer". They forgot to add that it’s a subpremium-quality ice beer as well. Good for one thing and one thing only: getting wasted quickly and inexpensively! Quite simply, this is bottom-of-the-barrel swill, to be consumed only as an act of desperation!
