Pretty straightforward pils, with a mild grainy sweetness mixed with white bread, lemongrass, and a mild floral bitterness. Decent

12oz can. I know what they are going for but corn makes it lean towards cream ale to me, rather than adjunct lager. Not really a true Pils of any variety. Drinkable, but sweet. Again, think Cream Ale. Drinkable, pleasant.
