text: Served in a tumbler. Randomly found this bottle at the Binny's in Algonquin and was excited to continue my always-ongoing quest to try beers from around the world. Finally, B-H is taken down. (Funny that Croatia beat them to me...) It pours a clear pale straw topped by about a half-finger of white foam. The nose is very similar to BMC standards: corn, corn syrup, tin, and that not-quite-skunk-but-not-quite-not-skunk-either smell. Boo. The taste is not much better, with that corn syrup bringing some added sweetness to to the otherwise bland and grainy surroundings. The body is very light, with a moderate carbonation and a rather wet feel. Overall, this was a slight disappointment (thanks to relatively low expectations based on prior experience with similar brews); it seems like they just re-bottled very fresh MGD or something.
