Pours clear light yellow into a willi. White head with medium retention recedes to nothing. Mild bread aromas. Crisp with a hint of citrus and not much else - not especially interesting, but drinkable - almost like a mis-labeled Athletica.

6 pack of cans, best before 8/13/2026, most recent can drunk 1/4/26, as pictured.
Sweet barley and almost a dash of corn with yellow fruit galore (big golden apple and a hint of melon). Not super expressive/complex in the hop department, that's for sure. But it's clean and pleasant enough with no seltzer or wort character.
Nice body on it, or maybe a lot of that is the big carbonation...but it's not seltzery and there is some malt sweetness and texture. Would have liked a little more hop character, or a bit more distinct/complex hop character, I guess. As is, it's pleasant and has a mild bitterness to balance, but doesn't show much more than golden apple, unripe strawberry and a touch of musk melon.
