On the bottle itself, it doesn't list the word BEER anywhere. Instead, it lists itself as a "crisp & refreshing Alcoholic Beverage." That's kind of weird, really.
I open up the bottle, pop top as expected, pour it into the glass, a very very light golden liquid pours. Not much foam and the foam that there is, disappears near immediately. The very very light aroma of this "alcoholic beverage" is a hint of lemon, and absolutely no hint of hops.
As the ol' Canadian saying states: "American beer is like sex in a canoe, so close to water." In this case, that's very true. This beer, or should I say "alcoholic beverage" has very minimal taste.. well I suppose replacing barley/wheat with Rice and Sorghum would do that to a beer. I taste a hint of rice, something acidic, but that's it. However on my tongue, there's a really strong metallic taste lingering at the moment.
I'm not liking this beer. If you've ever had a glass of Molson Canadian 67, it's actually lighter in colour than that, and 67 actually has more flavour!
Would I recommend this beer? Nope. It does have 5.7% alcohol content which isn't bad, but the taste isn't worth it, but I could see it being popular for lime-o fans if they were to market a faux-lime version, as this isn't a beer that has any taste, and lime beers are all about masking the taste of beer as much as possible it seems.
It was $3.50 or so after tax, a product of USA (Milwaukee) by Lakefront Brewery, was made in July (I love when breweries state when the product was MADE). Lastly, it lists the ingredients: Water, sorghum, rice, hops and that's it. I feel bad for celiacs/those who want to stay away from barley/wheat products as there's very few beers on the market available for them, that also tastes good.
