It looks nice, but you aren't going to want to smell or taste it. We used to take these down a lot my freshman year of college.. they're not that bad when you get to the 7th or 8th.

Cheap and strong, does what it's supposed to. The guy who made the comment about beer pong was right on: I think the flavor actually improves after a few ping pong balls have been fished out of your cup.........

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!

Just thinking about drinking this makes my stomach churn and my arm reach for the desitin. You will wipe more times the following day then you could ever imagine.

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.

Really not that bad. Had a couple on tap last night. At 5.9% ABV and it’s price it’s not that terrible, espeacially compared to BMC products.

Pretty bad beer. Corn/rice and alcohol taste not much else. Tastes about as cheap as it is. Will get you messed up.
