12 oz. can purchased at Davidsons Wine & Spirits in Highland Ranch, CO. Thanks G-unit! Pours a crystal clear yellow-gold color with a white head and great retention. Good lacing. No distinct aroma. Tastes like a Euro lager with a little yeast thrown in. Light pilsner and pale malt flavors. Soft mouthfeel. Light crisp finish. Easy drinking.

12 ounce can into pint glass, best before 9/14/2019. Pours slightly hazy/cloudy pale golden yellow color with a 2 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Thick spotty foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of lemon, peach, pear, melon, red apple, cracker, corn, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, wood, herbal, floral, grass, peppercorn, and yeast earthiness. A bit too fruity/yeasty aromas, but not overwhelming. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance of pale malt/grains, and light-moderate earthy hop/fruity yeast notes; with solid strength. Taste of lemon, peach, pear, melon, red apple, cracker, corn, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, wood, herbal, floral, grass, peppercorn, and yeast earthiness. Light-moderate herbal, floral, woody, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of lemon, peach, pear, melon, red apple, cracker, corn, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, wood, herbal, floral, grass, peppercorn, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Great robustness and balance of pale malt/grains, and light-moderate earthy hop/fruity yeast flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and no hop astringency after the finish. Moderately crisp/clean finishing. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness and carbonation. Medium-plus carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth and moderately creamy/bready/grainy/sticky balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5%. Overall this is a delicious American blonde ale. All around nice robustness and balance of pale malt/grains, and light-moderate earthy hop/fruity yeast flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink with the mellowly bitter/drying finish. Nicely soft feel. Very flavorful and not watery for the ABV. Great clean pils malt/grain showcase; with great noble hop presence/balance for the style and restrained fruity yeast. Mild residual sweetness with crisp drying. A very enjoyable offering, and well made style example. Not overdone on adjuncts, but I wasn't exactly expecting them though.
