Nothing about this beer is very good. If you have not had it do not waste your time.

On Draft at Tanks Taproom – aka: BillMar Station

Pours a straw colored golden body and a fluffy ivory head. The aroma and flavor suggests biscuity, buttery, bready malts. Hints of a mild lemongrass hops in the finish. The palate is light, slightly buttery… & although a very mild beer, there is still a nice delicate complexity to be found.
Indeed, I have been enjoying this beer for the past couple weeks.

Bottle. Crisp feel. Typical light lager, decent finish with mild hoppy feel. Not bad but not great.

Bottle. A clear, pale-gold pour with a very thin white head. Aroma is of grain and corn. This is probably the most watery beer I’ve rated. There’s hardly anything to it in the taste either. Just mildly sweet grains and some corniness. A good beer for a beer bong, but that’s about it. At least there are no chemical tastes like you get with the macros. I’m shocked that this isn’t a light beer.

(12 oz bottle: Obtained in trade with hopdog, thanks Steve!) Mostly a sweet grain and corn nose, but there’s also a very distracting "new sneaker" rubber smell in the not-too-distant background. The sweet, grainy flavor is dominant, with corn less obvious than in the nose, and a mild bitterness emerging, turning slightly unpleasant in the finish. Light-medium bodied with average carbonation, and it doesn’t really lose body in the finish. Medium straw in color, and only slightly hazy, the occasional carbonation bubble can easily be seen rushing upward through the beer. The whitish head poured pretty small, and quickly settled to a very tiny ring. Not too good, but passable I suppose.

12 oz bottle. Pours and smells like any BMC ’cept the 1/4" head sticks for a little bit. Aroma is grainy and bready. First sip is tinny then gets cut with some hoppy corn juice. I couldnt get down more then an ounce of this swill.

Draft at Pennsylvania BC. Poured a small ivory head that mostly diminished, fine-small sized bubbles, very nice lacing, carbonated, transparent, and a yellow hue. Malty, hoppy aroma. Malty, hoppy and a fairly crisp flavor. Mouthfeel was smooth and a tad thin. Light body.

This draft brew from the brewery poured a small sized head of foamy fine to medium sized mostly lasting white colored bubbles that left behind an unnoted lacing. The body contained average carbonation, was transparent and light orange in color. Its aroma was mildly malty and almost non-existent. Its mouth feel is initially slightly tingly semi-thick with a lingering mellow palate and a smooth malty aftertaste. Its flavor contained mild malty notes with a slight hop content.
