    Saw this at a gas station in central Illinois. Nothing about it has been photoshopped. Has anyone seen this or dared to try it. I envision it tasting like steel reserve or Keystone.

    I've seen this in Green Bay before. I haven't had it, but my buddy said it's just a mediocre light lager.

    Sounds like the cases of Brew City we would buy for 5 or 6 bucks. Absolutely horrible.

    Yup. I saw this at a gas station in Nogales about a half mile from the Border. I opted for the 'ice' version. I tried it because I wanted to keep the can. As far as taste? Well, it was cold. That was its most redeeming quality.

    If I were head of Marketing for Beer the motto would be "Beer: Made From Ingredients".

    My friends and I got this once because of the price. It was frightening how bad this tasted. We ended up drinking beast over this, and it sat around for a month until someone threw it away
