I bought this because it was highly ranked [only]. Crystal clear coloured body with a thick, three centimetre tall off-white head, a bit tan and quite soapy throughout. Aroma of grass, hay, light metal, some funk and cardboardie malt and a dash of peppery hops on the end. Light-bodied; Very strong pungent lager yeast flavours up front with biscuits, crackers and grain very strong with some light lemons and pungent grass throughout that leaves this quite astringent on the end. Aftertaste is very deep and bitter - mainly from the grassy malts and the lager yeast - these are very strong and don't go away at all. Overall, a fairly strong pilsener that is very typical for an American beer, just sadly, from Macro-producers; This doesn't taste like a craft beer at all - it could be from SABMiller or In-Bev and you wouldn't even know at all. This one definitely isn't worth trying at all, especially as one that is somehow deemed to be 'respectable' by others. I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from Whole Foods in Pentagon City (Arlington), Virginia on 23-August-2019 for US$2,49 sampled very fresh on 02-September-2019 at home in Washington.

Pint pour at Brine - Mosaic. Poured a crystal clear yellow color, light carbonation, not a lot of head, but still a bit vigorous. Aroma was nice hoppy, with some light lager notes. Earthy hops, light lager notes. Pretty tasty.
