Bottled. Looks and smells like Coors, tastes slightly better. Lightly malty, slight bitterness, long dry finish.

Pours golden with medium white head. Sweet corn flavor and very crisp, a good brew. I cant believe why it doesnt rate higher? Light bodied has a hoppy undertone that settles on the back palate perfectly.

Pours a near clear golden straw with ring of clearish white head. Very corny, and sweet, with a vegetal grassiness. Like a sweet bud. Not very impressed with this one. But as always, the label art is really fun.

Sampled at a Mead, Cider, and Beer Tasting sponsored by Binny’s Beverage Depot in Glen Ellyn, IL. Poured from a 12 oz. can to my wine/sampler glass a light gold tone with a white, foamy head that reduced to a bubbly film and ring. The aroma was some light wheat, malt and sweetness. The flavor retained the little grain and honey sweetness and added some subtle bitterness. Quaffable and light all around. I like the can mode.

22 oz bottle. Bleh. Yellow and not quite fizzy. Fruit and grass nose. Overly sweet initially to bleh. Bleh, I say. Bleh.

Pours golden with a thin white head. Aroma is grass, lemon, and wet grain. Flavor is sweet, lemony, with a light honey flavor.

Not bad as far as is goes, I guess. Weak taste and aroma. Cold on a hot day, none the less.

Pours a clear golden color with a small diminishing white head. Smells rather light and is rather fruity with a bit of grass coming through. The smells of a fresh picked cluster of grapes are very prevalent. The flavor starts out rather sweet with fruits and ends a bit like cereal grains.
