Can. Amber in color with a medium head. Aroma was a malty grain aroma with very light hints of caramel. Taste is slight sweetness up front and in the middle with a balanced finish.

Very clear golden coloured body with a light haze of blonde and straw, all with a relatively thick, three to four centimetre tall off-white head that's soapy, but leaves a pretty ugly lace on top after a few seconds. Aroma of grass, straw, hay, flowers, a dash of caramelised sugars and a subdued specialty grain bite, but the biscuity and bready yeast finish is noticeable with a hint of alpha acids from hops in the finish, as well, at least in the nose. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong grassy and herbal flavours show at first with some noticeable biscuity and crisp lager notes from the malt and the yeast showing through, with a dry hoppy finish and some softer sweetness from caramel and toffee at the finish. Aftertaste shows a nice robust and balanced malt flavour with some softer hop notes, a dry and crisp yeast and bready bite at the end as well as some complexity from nuts, rustic earthiness and a light sweetness at the end from the toffee and caramelised sugars with the pungency at first and fading to a nice blended balance at the end. Overall, a rich and crisp beer with a lot of flavours throughout, including some noticeable hops and a very strong earthy and rustic nuttiness, all well balanced, especially for the style. I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from Kroger in Dayton, Ohio on 10-August-2021 for US$1,87 sampled at my house here in Washington on 19-October-2021.
