Expecting something less than greatness, I did a single clear bottle purchase from the Trader Joe in Orland Park, IL. It looked like urine in the bottle and poured a deep yellow with a short-lived fizzy head. The aroma was skunky and had a bitter grassiness. It tasted of generic malt and corn syrup with a mild bitterness. The finish was slightly tinny. Yup. Something less than greatness.

Bottle from Cincy store. Poured clear pale color with an average frothy white head that diminished slowly with fair lacing. Moderate sweet grassy aroma. Light to medium body with a thin texture and soft carbonation. Light sweet flavor with soft grassy sweet finish of short duration. Worth trying once.

Bottle as Trader Jose Premium Lager. NIce grassy hop aroma. Pale golden color; a very little white head that filmed. Medium mouthfeel; a bit fizzy. Light malt sweetness, and it seems to be from barley. Balanced by nice grassy bitterness. It is really good for a somewhat pale lager. It’s got a start on pilsenerhood. Long trip though.

Yellow pour. Corn. Corn aroma. Corn flavor. Stank. Really stank. I couldn’t take more than a few sips to rate it.

12 oz bottle from Trader Joes; nose is grainy and grassy; clear gold with a big white head; flavor semi-sweet grain, kind of tastes like Coors (I wonder why?)

12 ounce bottle from Trader Joe’s in Richmond/Short Pump, VA. Pours a clear pale yellow color. This beer reeks very strongly of skunk. Hard to detect under the skunk but there are some notes of sweet grain and corn under there. Taste is sweet creamed corn, grain and light cool whip. Fairly fizzy and thin bodied.
