No hops, no malt, too sweet for me. Not a big fan of this beer. Reminds me of Rolling Rock

Not much here. One and a half steps up from a macro. No malt or hops to be found.

Sweet smelling bready aroma. Dark golden color. Small, rapidly diminishing head. Flavor reflects some malt and hops but nothing really special.

Head is initially small, frothy, white, mostly diminishing. Body is clear medium yellow. Aroma is lightly malty (cereal, light bread), lightly hoppy (flowers, herbs), with a note of DMS. Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly acidic. Finish is lightly sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter. Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. Just gotta love that DMS stench. Sugary sweet. Half-step above macro.

Smelled of rice milk. Fizzy head with a light yellow color. Normal body. Lightly sweet inthe front with a mild bitterness reaching up from the consumed portion. Flat and watery.

Not liking this style, it is even harder to drink a bad, yellowy, moldy grass smelling version. This is not even appropriate as a thirstquencher because I'd have to find an immediate chaser. Most of this went down the sink.

Bubbly, airy fluff head on a blonde body. Pleasant corn syrupy and toffee aroma with similar tastes. Not a bad, malty helles.

A decent lager with a wheat note. This pours yellowish with a moderate head. Some hops are present. Just like most of Pete's stuff its the next step up from the big Macros but not nearly as good as most Micros.
