rDev: -15.9%

Pours into a pee colored light yellow with a 1" head that has no retention or lacing. It has very high carbonation. it hardly has any smell at all, maybe a little bit of an yeast and corn smell. The taste is very watery with rotting corn, and other vegetables. The taste makes me feel sick drinking it. it also tastes like some musty mildew or some old hay was in the brew when it was being made. The mouthfeel is very watery with a little bit of chalkiness, and because it is light bodied and watered down like most beers of this popular American style makes it very drinkable. It is the ideal beer for someone who is low on money and wants something cheap to get drunk off of and at $2.99 a 6/pack at Walgreen's you can't beat a deal like that.

alcstradamus ( Davenport, Iowa )

D+ / 2.5
look: 2 | smell: 4 | taste: 2 | feel: 3 | drink: 2
rDev: -2%

Pours a crstal clear lighter-than-straw yellow with 3 fingers of foamy head and no lacing. Barely any color at all.

The aroma is corn heavy with a pleasant earthy tone and hints of citrus. Clove, pineapple, and watermelon rind deep in the background. Not a bad aroma for the style, actually.

The flavor is incredibly musty. This one was served at higher than cellar temp so I think some cold might have masked the mustiness a bit. But I want to taste the beer, so I chose to serve it this way. After a few sips, the watermelon notes begin to peek out ever so slightly, as well as some banana peel. Then, after a few more sips, it begins to just taste like water. Typical flavor profile of the style.

The body is light, perhaps medium for the style. Carbonation is a tad stinging.

Overall this beer is exactly what you would expect for the price. Not much. But screw it, its Walgreens beer so kick back your feet, pound a sixer, and enjoy a taste of corporate America.

Let me start by saying that I'm kind of pissed that i didn't review this in time to add it to BA... PISSED!!! Anyhow to the review..

12oz can, bought at Walgreen's in Snellville GA @ $3.49 a 6pk. Yes its my birthday today so I said to myself, "Wtf, might as well"! States that this beer is brewed by "Brewmasters Choice". Honestly I'd rather trust a product clearly labeled as a Genesee brew than something Ive never, ever, ever heard of. Served into my Fischers .4l tulip (Oh yeeeaaa!!)

Pours strait up piss color, with a fizzy white 1/2 finger head that dissipates immediately.

Smells like ****, honestly... Smells like a stew of rotten veggies soaked in lingering fart residue, not regular fart but a foul intoxicating fart from a illegal immigrant who just finished off 2 1/2lbs of guacamole spiked with rotten olives. I honestly have never smelled a beer like this. I'm wondering if a employee farted in this can before the top was slammed on it.

Now im dreading tasting this stuff. Holy cow! Tastes like water with a punch of rotten veggies, closely following the horrid nose. A slight touch of goat piss, a wee bit of rotten corn husks, and something else thats definatly beyond freshness date.

The mouthfeel is decent for a adjunct brew, kinda fizzy with medium carbonation goin on.

Overall, if your homeless and looking for something to help you throw up that 3 week old ass burrito you found in that Taco Bell dumpster this beer is for you. Otherwise stay away from this beer, its only for the true pennyless drunk looking for something to keep him/her company while passing out under the I285/Sandy Springs bridge. Cheers!

rDev: +13.6%

Found this one at the local Walgreens. $2.99 for a six pack of cans. Poured into a pint glass

A: Very light, straw yellow in color. Small head.

S: Standard adjunct lager. Not much to smell.

T: Actually, not that bad. Somewhat sweet, malty finish. A lot better than I expected.

M: Thin. Somewhat watery.

D: A very easy drinking beer. I don't know how many I'd actually want to have in one session, but I'm sure someone would like to pound a bunch of these.

Overall: Not a horrible beer, but not good. You get what you pay for. For $2.99, I didn't expect much, and that's what I got.
