12 oz can from Total Wine. Pours a cloudy yellow-gold color with a small white head and decent retention. Almost no lacing. Faint lime aroma. Grainy lager flavor with the same faint tart lime note in the finish. Highly carbonated. Light body. Not bitter. Very macro taste. Harmless enough. Decent pool beer.

12 ounce can into lager glass, canned on 6/27/2019. Pours slightly hazy pale golden straw color with a 1 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Nice spotty lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big lightly tart/tangy limes, citrus peel/zest, cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, wood, peppercorn, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance of limes, pils malts, and earthy hop notes; with big strength. Taste of big lightly tart/tangy limes, citrus peel/zest, cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, wood, peppercorn, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, woody, grassy, peppery bitterness; and lime tang/tartness on the finish. Lingering notes of tart/tangy limes, citrus peel/zest, cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, wood, peppercorn, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Great robustness and balance of limes, pils malts, and earthy hop flavors; with a great malt/bitterness, and tart/tangy fruit balance; with no astringent hop/fruit notes after the finish. Moderately crisp/clean finishing. Perfectly clean on lager flavors, with no fruity/yeasty notes. Moderate increasing dryness from lingering hop/fruit bitterness and carbonation. Medium-plus carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately bready/grainy/sticky/resin/rindy balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4.5%. Overall this is an excellent fruited American pale lager. All around great robustness and balance of limes, pils malts, and earthy hop flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink with the moderately bitter/resinous/drying finish;. very flavorful and not watery for the ABV. Great balance between vibrant limes, clean pils malts, and earthy noble hops. Zero residual sweetness with crisp drying. A very enjoyable offering, and impressive style example. No complaints. Liked it more than the base beer, no noticeable corn notes at all.
