Conclusion: I have never had this beer until now. The color is very nice as is the clarity. The head is a typical head in commercial beers, which means it is weak. Now, the aroma is the same as if you were standing in a barn full of hay/straw on a warm summers day. It is nice, not too pungent, but not overwhelming. The flavor is very weak with this beer. When taking a pull there is nothing that really stands out about the flavor. The finish is nice, crisp, clean. The hop profile is very weak, but the flavor from the malt is not bad, but not there if you know what I mean. I would say that this is a better beer than Coors, Budweiser, or Miller produces. I can see this beer be actually better suited for cooking brats, than drinking. It does have some good qualities that lighter body beer drinkers like, but it falls way short of those that know and love beer for what it can achieve. The price is very cheap, it's domestic, but it's not the worse beer I've had, nor is it anywhere near the low-middle of the road. This beer falls directly into the light weight, no flavor, no attitude American Lager category. One good quality of the brew is that you can drink it all night long and not get buzzed. You'll just wonder why you're taking a piss every three minutes.
Public Aspect: Offering this to your guests wouldn't be a bad idea if they are usually drinking other Domestic Lagers. People won't be offended by the color, or the flavor profile of the brew so it can be put in your "safe" list to have for guests.
