Grainy pale lager nose; pale gold with a fizzy white head. Taste of rice, but it does have some alcohol. Not the worst, but still a pmacro pale lager! If anyone meeds some I can get it by the case for trades!

Can, many thanks to Oakes. Pours the eerie neon glow typical of chemo-beer. Fast disappearing white head. Nothing "natural" about the appearance. Potently sweet aroma, although I have smelled some worse things. Creamed corn. Chemicals. Soft but fizzy mouthfeel. Bud-like metallic aftertaste. Does not taste as sweet as it smells. This might be one of the reasons some people claim "I don’t like beer."

24oz can. Even being ice cold can’t save this beer. It is so very similar to Natural Light and that’s not a good thing. It does actually have a little more malt taste and of course more alcohol but still sub-par in every way. Overall, bad smell, yellow color, cheap taste, not good.

The beer after its pour from the 12-ounce can sets in the glass a pale gold with a modest frothy white head that leaves a film of lace to cover the glass. Nose is all malt, fresh and crisp, start somewhat sweet and the top thin. Finish is moderately acidic, the hops light and the aftertaste dry.

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.

Bottle courtesy of MaltDawg on 08/16/2008. Very clear golden yellow body with a medium frothy white head and lots of fizz. Corn and grain aroma, some honey hints. Big corn flavor, some sugar, and grain. Light body with moderately high carbonation.

Appearance: Pours a clear, light yellow body crowned with a thin ring of white bubbles. Smell: Cold creamed corn, flower petals, and a waft of alcohol. Taste: A corn-driven taste with an icky sweetness and plenty of fusel alcohol that could be called anything but "natural". A mild bitterness does little to mask the sweet, fusel finish. Mouthfeel: Light-bodied. Medium carbonation. Spitefully watery. Drinkability: An unrewarding, cheapo beer. Its cost matches its quality.

Oh boy, this smells and looks horrible. Just awful. I remember this nothingness taste from college beer pong. Thin and weak, nothing positive going for this, except it doesn’t taste like alcohol or give headaches.
