This deep golden lager has "a blend of rich imported malts to make this the darkest lager possible". Apparently the brewers don’t get around much, because it’s barely a couple of tones darker than the typical BMC. The aroma is faint, pale malt with an earthy hop bitterness. The flavor is inoffensive, echoing the mild aroma and having the addition of mineral water. Drinkable, but, why?
