A step up from Bud/Miller. Pours clear straw yellow with a big fluffy white head. Smells somewhat sweet but there is this odd scent I can't place, that isn't neccessarilly bad but definitely isn't good. Tastes sweet at first but that is quickly outdone by fairly strong adjunct corn/rice flavors. The finish is either a plastic grocery sac or lexan I couldn't quite decide. Either way it is very off-putting and hurts the drinkability of what would otherwise be a thirst-quencher. The same brewery makes Augsburger Golden which is a much better bet, if you can find it.

Typical american lager. Light yellow color. No real aroma. Flavor has a small hop taste to it with a bit of malt. Above average and better than most macros.

Pale straw color. Light hop aroma, cascade? Touch of honey. Thin malt and corn! lots of it. Despite that not that unpleasant. This will do in a pinch, but its not lacrosse lager ,

A nice, tasty American lager. Crisp, clean, and refreshing. A step above most.

clear pale golden, head is decent initially, but is not lasting. hmm...fair amount of cardboard in the aroma, flavor is corn with a mixture of corn and cardboard in the finish. not at all good.

grassy, musty aroma that turned me off a bit. ugly pour, etc... flavor and palate isn't offensive. grassy, thin, and a bit cremey. hey, it didn't actually upset me except for the finish. seems like the hops miracously grew metal spikes. egh, but this beer isn't that bad.

Pale amber under a white head. Aroma and flavor unexceptional. Like a mass produced Bud or Miller. Nothing of any note.

POured fizzy yellow, absolutely no head, no lace. Smells like a typical american standard, tastes like one too. Maybe a slight bit more hop aroma and flavor, an ok malty finish, nothing to write home about. Would never buy again.
