25oz can from Fred Meyers. Every once in a while I dip my toe into the pool of beers kept at the end of the cooler. Those enormous cans with miniscule prices. Beers for the masses. Rating beer means all beers, not just the good ones. So here we go....I would say it looks like piss, but a lot of beers do. Weak golden body, foamy head fizzes away. Aroma? Faint beer aroma ( remember college? Day old beer can empties?) Taste is weak grainy, malty flavors, but nothing horrific. Just not much of anything. Easily drinkable, would quench your thirst for sure. Just not a lot of flavor at all. I've had worse.

20th March 2019; 32 oz bottle between four while playing cards on holiday in California. Light golden blonde body, clear and clean looking; full white crown on each glass. Mild malty aroma, grainy in fact. Taste is also grainy/malty with a slight hop bitterness for balance. Not a great beer at all, but it's refreshing and unassuming in nature, however there is not a lot going on to excite your senses. Easy to score poorly, but no real reason too.

25 ounce can into lager glass, canned on 3/7/2018. Pours crystal clear medium golden yellow color with a 1 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with good retention, that reduces to a thin lace cap that lingers. Light spotty soapy lacing clings down the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, and mild herbal/grassy earthiness. A bit too fruity aromas, but not overwhelming. Okay aromas with pale malt/grain and mild earthy hop notes; with solid strength. Taste of cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, and mild herbal/grassy earthiness. Very mild herbal/grassy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, and mild herbal/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Nice robustness of pale malt/grain and mild earthy hop flavors; with a good malt/bitterness balance, and zero cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Fairly crisp/clean finishing. Very clean lager flavors; minimal fruitiness. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately bready/grainy, and lightly sticky mouthfeel that is good. A bit thin, but not watery finish. Lightly increasing warmth of alcohol after the finish. Overall this is a solid iced pale adjunct lager. All around good robustness of pale malt/grain and mild earthy hop flavors; smooth, crisp, clean, and easy to drink. Feels about the same as Bud Heavy, with more alcohol and a bit more body. Not quite refreshing, but was expected. Clean pale malt/grains and mild earthy hop balance as expected. An enjoyable offering.

Can @ home. Clear golden color, medium to full sized white to off-white head that diminishes almost instantly. Smell and taste malts, sweetish, corn. Light bitter hint in the finish. Average body, medium carbonation. Ok lager.

33cl can @ home. Payed €4.29 for it, so this better be the best America has got to offer me. Clear golden yellow colour with a medium sized white head. Smells malts, pilsener. Tastes malts, grains, corn. Easily drinkable, thin body. Probably great beer for a beerpong tournament.

Backlog. College chugging beer. Goes down easy but has a weird aftertaste. Not nice. Avoid.

Found in a 1L can or something in Las Vegas. People literally wander up and down the strip drinking these monsters. It has that bleached white head and industrial yellow body that all Bud products seem to have. Flavour is a mix of urine and lemon. Of course it’s bad - and why suck down on these when you can have a vodka cooler? I’ll never understand Americans.
