The Aromas are wet grain, adjuncts and taffy. Flavors are similar to nose, sweet with a little carbonation to balance. Body is thin. One and done.

355ml can. (4.0% ABV) Pours a crystal clear straw colour with a small, fizzy, short lived, off-white head that leaves spotty lacing. Mild aroma of grain, corn, metal and skunky hops. Mild, sweet flavour of gritty grain and corn in a slightly sour metallic finish. Light body with a thin, watery texture and average carbonation. Wow, this is even worse than I thought.

Bottle pour into shaker pint glass. Appearance is clear, straw yellow with minimal sparkle, less-than-finger-width fizzy white head with zero retention and no lacing. Aroma is weak bready malt and light fruit. Taste is fruity grape with mellow malt backbone. Palate is light-to-medium bodied with watery texture, flat-to-soft carbonation and crisp finish virtually devoid of flavor. Overall, not as bad as I expected (I've had worse) but this was quite old (and am not sure if that helped or hurt?).

25 ounce can into lager glass, best before 6/25/2018. Pours crystal clear pale golden yellow color with a 1 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of cracker, corn, white bread, light biscuit dough, and mild herbal/grassy earthiness. A bit of fruity aromas, but not overwhelming. Okay aromas with pale malt/corn and mild earthy hop notes; with decent strength. Taste of cracker, corn, white bread, light biscuit dough, and light herbal/grassy earthiness. Mild herbal, grassy, spicy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of cracker, corn, white bread, light biscuit dough, and light herbal/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Nice robustness of pale malt/corn and light earthy hop flavors; with a nice malt/bitterness balance, and zero cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Moderately crisp/clean finishing. Perfectly clean on lager flavors, with zero yeast notes present. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitterness and carbonation. Medium-high carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately bready/grainy, and lightly sticky mouthfeel that is good. A bit thin, but not watery finish. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4.1%. Overall this is a very solid pale adjunct lager. All around good robustness of pale malt/corn and light earthy hop flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink. Very flavorful for the low ABV. Clean pale malt/corn flavors, and light earthy hop balance. Not too heavy on the corn, with nice barley presence. An enjoyable and well made offering. Tastes identical to regular Busch. 0.2% less alcohol isn't making a noticeable difference to me.

Can at hotel room in Boston. Enjoyed straight from the can. Aromas and flavors: Paper, cardboard and some malts. Just boring and useless.

Backlog. The usual. Light and watery with almost no nose...maybe some light graininess. Lemon and grass. Corn. Meh.
