Can poured a clear gold with a lasting white head. Aromas of soap, straw and a hint of citrus. Palate was light bodied and smooth with a watery finish. Flavors of light straw and a hint of citrus with a smooth clean watery finish.

Wow...I am used to drinking shitty beer, and I drink a lot of it, but this takes it to another level. All you can smell and taste are rotten corn, grain, and gross chemicals that you can feel poisoning your body as you drink the beer. My friends and I, who can pound shitty beer with the best of them, resorted to using most of the 30 pack for target practice. Horrid bile.

Pours an above average yellow with a **BRIGHT** white head. Foam is very thick and lasts for a bit. It then fades but a thin layer continues to float atop the brew. Some nice lacing on the glass also. Nose is unusual. Very strong and grapey, like cheap white wine. Some oak scents are also detected. Flavor is slightly bitter, but nowhere near as hoppy as I’d like. There is definitely a trace of cherry-vanilla lurking about. The finish is much too quick with only a slight aftertaste. This beer tries. I mean it really tries to be good. But the quick finish and lack of aftertaste keeps it on the mediocre list. At $9.99 for a 30 pack it is good enough to be a lawn mowing beer.

Canned. The body was dark gold wth a white head. The aroma was dirty dish rag with some dried flowers. The taste was bitter with weird vanilla cherry. There was also a woody note. Prett bad, but not undrinkable, just nearly.
