Sampled as Name Tag Classic Lager. Aroma of sweet malts, and thats about it. Clear yellow body, mid carbonation, usual thin head leves some random spots of lace. Flavor is really sweet for a lager, malts and corn.

Bought as Name Tag at Trader Joes. Pours a brilliant golden with a small white head that slowly dissipates. The aroms is of grain, corn, and with light floral hops at the finish but also a little boozy. The taste is unexpectedly sweet, more like a malt liquor with grain, corn adjunct, and fruity, apple esters are present throughout, with the finish being lightly bready and a touch bitter. The mouthfeel is on the light side, with moderate carbonation. Better then the big Macro brews and cheep 2 boot.

Name tag at trader Joe's...pretty basic and clean. A little sweet with little hop presence, but anaffordable easy to drink swill alternative. Basic fizzy yellow with quickly dying head. Not offensive.

Found this at Trader Joe's and it clearly canned for them as it has the TJ hibiscus flower on the can. I loved the extremely generic label, and at $3 a 6-pack, I figured I'd give it a shot. It pours with some head, but that quickly disappears. Solid yellow color with some faint brown hues, making it just ever so slightly encroach on the amber spectrum. For a fiddycent beer, this is pretty good; the flavor is dominated by...a sandblasted wall of grafitti. Imagine a wall with some good spray-painted urban art on it. Now give that wall a once over with a sandblaster....the faded but clearly identifiable image is analogous to this beer. There is a great and well-balanced lager buried under a layer of water and mediocrity. Easy drinkin'...time to turn up "Exile on Blues Street"...

A buck a can at Trader Joe's in Nashville. Pours a light golden colour with a small white cap that disappears quickly and leaves a bit of spotty lacing. Was expecting a grassy Euro feel, but this one is all on the sweet side. Sweet nose, sweet taste.. with a honey aftertaste. I am glad it is only a small can, and not a bomber of this. Not super bad, but overall too sweet to have too much.

It was kind of hard to pass this deal up at Trader Joes. $2.99 a sixer?? That's hillarious. It totally looks like a Red Stripe knock off all the way. Taste isn't much better, pretty malty and spot on characteristics of a pale lager in every single way. Clear, golden and corny. Lotsa corn lotsa malt and a little bit o water.
