It pours like beer. It looks Like beer. It tastes like S _ _ _!
Water would be a better choice. No flavor, it's thin and watery. Has nothing going for it. A big waste of money.

It is quite an elegant label they have, quite simple black with white lettering. It is obvious that they are going after a premium crowd. Too bad they aren't doing it with a good beer.
The beer pours a very pale yellow colour with a decent but coarse and short lived white head.
The aroma is almost non-existent. A faint corn like aroma and that is about it.
The feel is at least moderately creamy and sparkling with lot's of carbonation. Not watery anyway.
Taste is nothing.
A very faint malt and corn taste. Virtually no hop tastes. Only slightly more here than in carbonated water. It is absolutely non-offensive because there is almost nothing to it.
You could drink it anytime but why bother. Have a glass of sparkling water instead.
Their label says "Take your time to enjoy it, after all, we take our time to make it". I have to wonder what they did with all that time, they certainly didn't spend it making a good beer.
Once again it is a beer for the marketing department. It's a shame.

Gotta agree with you. Never really thought about the marketing department. I think I need to think about this for a while. Maybe I am starting to understand "Mainstream" beers a bit more.

I bought this stuff because a friend said it was wonderful. In fact he said he was changing from his long time favorite beer. I should have asked what his favorite was. Turned out it was Coors light.
Anyway, it looks like Ginger Ale only paler.
I couldn't smell anything at all.
The taste just wasn't there. Nothing at all.
They sell this junk at a premium price but there is NO flavour at all. I can't imagine why anybody would buy this even if they have never tried a craft beer. It pisses me off.

Pours a light amber with no head.
Aroma is totally non existent as is the flavor.
What is this stuff. It's not beer anyway! How do they justify charging premium prices? High way robbery.
