I mean it’s not the worst beer I’ve ever tasted but it’s up there. Tastes like soap.

12 oz. Aroma is lemon, tea, chalk, soap, floral, crappy beer. Pours clear golden with a decent white head with decent retention that laces the glass even. Taste is sweet with flavors like the aroma. Pretty gross.

Pours golden with a fluffy white head. Aroma of sweet tea. Taste has ridiculously sweet lemon notes with some artificial make-at-home tea notes. Palate is the exact same as lemon dish detergent. Terrible.

12 ounce bottle from Valley Liquor Little Chute, 6/4/19. Clear gold, thin fizzy white head, good retention. Aroma of pale malt, lemon, hints of tea. Taste is lemon and pale malt. Finish is Southern style iced tea, that is to say weak tea flavor + sugar. Thin. OK for what is promises to be, which isn't much.

25 ounce can into lager glass, canned on 4/19/2019. Pours crystal clear pale golden yellow color with a 1 finger dense white head with solid retention, that reduces to a minimal spotty lace cap that lingers. Minimal spotty lacing on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Good appearance. Aromas of lightly tart lemon juice, citrus zest/peels, black tea, honey, cracker, white bread, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance of lemon juice/peels, black tea, pale malts, and light earthy hop notes; with great strength. Taste of big lightly tart lemon juice, citrus zest/peels, black tea, honey, cracker, white bread, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Mild herbal, floral, grassy, spicy bitterness; and lemon tang/tartness on the finish. Lingering notes of tart lemon juice, citrus zest/peels, black tea, honey, cracker, white bread, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a short bit. Great robustness balance of lemon juice/peels, black tea, pale malts, and light earthy hop flavors; with a nice malt/bitterness, and citrus tang/tartness balance; with zero astringent flavors after the finish. Very crisp/clean finishing. Perfectly clean on lager flavors, with no fruity/yeasty notes present. Moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitter/tang/tartness and carbonation. Medium-plus carbonation and light body; with a very smooth, moderately grainy, and fairly sticky/acidic/tangy mouthfeel that is fantastic. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4.2%. Overall this is an excellent flavored light lager. All around great robustness balance of lemon juice/peels, black tea, pale malts, and light earthy hop flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink with the mildly bitter/tart/tangy/drying finish. Very flavorful and not watery for the ABV. Awesome balance between vibrant lemons, earthy tea, and clean pils malts; with solid earthy hop presence/balance. Zero residual sweetness with crisp dryness. A very enjoyable offering, and outstanding style example. One of the best light lagers I've had for sure. It achieved every thing it was supposed to be. Tastes exactly like lemon iced tea, going to be an amazing summer beer.

Bottle from Total Wine in Folsom, CA. Pours bright gold with a white head. Aroma of lemon candy and fermented black tea. Med minus body. Flavor is lemon more appropriate to candy than beer, but the stronger flavor is the fermented black tea which nearly saves the situation. Bergamot might well have done it. Preferable to water.
