Can thanks to Brian. Pours golden with small white head that lasts. The aroma is corn and straw. Slick body, grass, straw, corn, crisp finish, decent.

Drank out of a clear glass bottle. Uber pale yellow with a fizzy white head. Aroma is beer and flavor is also beer. A working mans beer for the masses that does not have much flavor but is refreshing.

Got in a trade with The-Adjunct-Hippie. 12 ounce clear bottle into lager glass, bottled on 12/21/2016. Pours fairly crystal clear pale golden/straw color with a 1-2 finger dense and rocky white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Dense soapy lacing clings down the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of lemon, cracker, corn, and white bread; with light pear, apple, pepper, and herbal/grassy earthiness. Nice aromas with good balance of pale malt, corn, and light earthy hop notes; with good strength. A bit fruity/estery, but not overwhelming. Taste of lemon, cracker, corn, and white bread; with light pear, apple, pepper, and herbal/grassy earthiness. Light herbal/grassy bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of lemon, cracker, corn, white bread, light pepper, and herbal/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Nice robustness and balance of pale malt, corn, and light earthy hop flavors; with a nice malt/bitterness balance, and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Fairly clean on lager flavors; a bit fruity/yeasty, but not overwhelming. Medium carbonation and light body; with a very smooth, moderately crisp, dry, grainy, and slightly sticky mouthfeel that is good. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4.6%. Overall this is a good Adjunct lager style. All around good robustness and balance of pale malt, corn, and light earthy hop flavors; very smooth, crisp, and refreshing to drink. Absolutely no skunky flavors from the clear bottle; which was surprising, because this had a solid hop presence considering the style. A nicely enjoyable offering.

Can: Clear, yellow-gold with a thick and frothy white head. Aroma is slightly fruity...barley malt.... Taste is creamy, barley malt....I’m struck by the taste and aroma, which reminds me of strawberries and cream...... Really a standout....different....but extremely tasty....an absolute pleasure.

Can. Milky barley malt and straw aroma. Golden yellow with moderate head. Mildly sweet barley malt and mildly bitter straw flavor. Nice body. A great pale lager.

16oz can as "Brain Belt, Zombie pub crawl", thanks Bacterial - Jeff for the extra. BB 12-25-2014. I reckon the beer gets a plus for can design originality. De couleur dorée claire, col moyen blanc. Arôme au bouquet typique de grains, cornmalt, le tout étant très monodimensionnel avec un rétro houblonné minimaliste. Palais garde le même profil de pils malt, maïs qui est correcte mais sans grande inspiration. Houblon très léger avec juste une pointe herbacée voire en cherchant plus de fruité citronné. Petite rondeur adoucie en fin de bouche avec ce fini typique métallique.

9/I/15 - 1Pt. can @ home - BB: XII/16/14 (2015-20) Thanks to sebletitje for sharing the can!

Clear pale blond beer, small creamy white head, little stable, bit adhesive. aroma: corn, metallic, some hay, bit of banana. MF: soft carbon, light body, very watery. Taste: corn flakes, some citrus, sweet touch, metallic, not bitter at all. Aftertaste: bit metallic, corn flakes, watery and sweet. A poor excuse for a beer!
