It is as it says it is, dirt cheap. I paid under three bucks for a six pack of this with the lowest of expectations. This did indeed however exceed my expectations, but not by much. This doesn’t smell like much, a little sawdust, a little malt, basically smells like cheap beer. One great surprise is that this thing actually maintains a small head; the color is (of course) a light gold. There are some wild things going on with the flavor here I detect apple, some mild hop character, and of course plenty of adjunct grains I think there is rice in this, but I am certain that there is corn. This one is very crisp and refreshing, and goes down well but about 3/4 into the can I got a little sick of it altogether.

Nov 26, 2007 Updated: May 16, 200812 oz. can from csbosox. Pour is clear golden with a typical white head. Aroma of some sweetness and almost Pils hops pokes through. Even some floral scent in there. Taste initially jumped out as chemically sweet, though that cleared quickly, really only evident in the first sip. After that, the sweetness (others have mentioned corn - I personally thought it was softer and more rounded than corn adjunct flavor I am used to) come through, and the finish has that nice Saaz element. Overall, this one was pretty drinkable, thanks Chris!

Nov 7, 2007 <b>12 ounce can from csbosox</b><br />
Pours crystal clear piss golden yellow with a good white head.<br />
Lots of corn here. Maybe even a scant amount of hop aroma.<br />
Corn flavor too. Imagine that. Its not totally foul.<br />
Its better than a lot of crappy lagers out there.

Apr 29, 2007 In the can. Thanks (I suppose) to paul V. for the beer. Paul and I are always trying to trump each other with gifts of what we call "Canoeing beer." While at the time of this rating, there were only 6 other scores, I’d have to say that it does not deserve to get trashed in the ratings. I soundly believe this to be a better beer than Bud or Coors. I don’t know what a sixer of this costs, but because of the name, it had better be less than everything else on the shelves. Sure, there’s a lot of adjunct here. It’s quite corny, but is has a sweet perfume flower water finish that makes it not completely thoughtless. I just don’t get the prostitute chicken logo. Is there a poultry whore problem in St. Louis?

Dec 5, 2005 Mild, indistinct aroma. Light, golden color, with some head that dissapated after a couple minutes. Flavor is surprisingly OK, somewhat sweet. OK texture, but little carbonation, it felt kind of flat. In the end, what else would you expect from a beer called dirt cheap (other than maybe the presence of dirt, which I do not detect)?
