On tap at the source. Pours gold with a thin, white head. Aroma is grassy, light apple notes. Taste is malty sweet with a touch of caramel. Finish is short, sweetish. Not much going on. Okay.

16oz can from a 4 pack.
A nice light gold colour with a 1 finger head of fluffy foam. Plenty of lacing.
The smell has some hop bitterness to it, grass me thinks, and a very light nose of grain. It’s a weak nose overall, I think the draught version had more character.
The taste is lightly to moderately light grainy with some lemon zest in the mix. A strange brew from the can; all the flavour seems to be up front and it fades like crazy mid palate on until just after the swallow where it picks up again with some slight sweet notes and a bit of hop bitterness. I like it but the impression I get is that this is on the lower end when it comes to calories, not that that is bad but it has a "Light Beer" feel to it.
Light bodied with very light carbonation. The mouthfeel could be improved with a tad more carbo.
Drinkability? It’s a Wyoming brew that, I think, has some potential to be better than it is. That’s my 2 cents worth. Other than that, it is an easy beer to quaff and is somewhat refreshing. I prefer the draught but this isn’t half bad.

Big fucken can @ home, thanks to R@@@@@ for picking me this up in Lander, Wyoming. Pours a fairly clear, golden orange appearance with a tan head. Aroma is actually quite full of corn. Some spice in the nose as well. Decent mouth feel. Moderate sweetness and bitterness. Dull herbal hops. Some plastic-y notes. Another disappointment from Wind River.

Can. A golden beer with a lazing off-white head. The aroma has notes of malt and spices. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt and straw, leading to a bitter finish
