Crisp and crushable like a folding table. A Table Beer is a low-alcohol beer, meant for casual drinking, often at tailgates with chicken wings. This beer is crisp and crushable like a folding table.

Can with illegible coding, drunk 3/2/26.
Smells more like Belgium with a touch of rice lager. Not getting much rice sweetness, though there is dryness/crispness on the end. Fair bit of Belgian yeast character without any clove or bubble gum (yellow fruits, light pepper, hint of banana). If I smelled this blind, I'd guess something along the lines of a Belgian pale ale/single.
Again it's quite Belgian, and nicely so, with fruity esters instead of crude clove/bubblegum/banana. Slight pepper but no sharp bitterness. The rice lager part seeming to soften/sweeten the Belgian part. Well-carbonated and with a malty texture and great flavor for its size. Maybe this has cleaned up a lot in the can, or maybe it was very clean to begin with. Either way, I'm sorry I narrowly missed going to Strangebird last time I was in Rochester. Hope to make it there some time. This is a very well-done beer and their draught list looks fantastic.
