I know a lot of "beer people" look down on some macro bottles. But this one will always have a place in my house. It's simply a great "thin" beer that goes down quick and easy. Obviously not the most flavorful bottle out there, but if you want that you won't grab this one. There's a time and place for every beer, including the macro lagers like this one.

Old Review
12 oz camo can straight from the case that always sits in my fridge for days such as these. Served up in a standard pint.

A: Pours a vibrant, piss yellow that is a fine example of what a macro should look like. Crystal clear through and through. Lots of carbonation activity constantly moving about in the glass. A vigorous pour gave me 2 fingers of head that actually had a ton of retention. The foam is light and fluffy. Lots of lace on the glass, notching all the way down. Looks damn good for a macro.

S: Well its awful macro like. Doesn't smell like much at all. Lots of corn and skunk. Not the greatest at all, and bad for a macro.

T: This is actually a good macro. Lots of corn flavors with a lot of sugary goodness. There is a lot of grassiness going on here as well, but it is pleasant. For a macro, I think it has good taste for the style.

M: Light bodied brew that is watery and easy drinking. High carbonation that is incredibly crisp. ABV is not noticable considering this sits at 5%. Aftertaste is minimal and mostly just a light corn presence.

D: This beer is easy drinking, has decent flavor, a really nice look for the style, and decent feel. Sure it smells like ass, but its a macro. Mind you, I am not comparing this beer against an Abyss or anything, just other macros. Scoff if you wish, but if High Life was currency, I'd be rich, BITCH!
