12 ounce can into lager glass, no can dating. Pours slightly hazy pale golden yellow color with a small fairly dense white head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Light spotty lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of cracker, corn, white bread, dough, lightly toasted biscuit, pepper, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. A bit of fruity/yeasty aromas, but not overwhelming. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance of pale malt/corn and moderate earthy hop notes; with solid strength. Taste of cracker, corn, white bread, dough, lightly toasted biscuit, pepper, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate herbal, floral, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of cracker, corn, white bread, dough, lightly toasted biscuit, pepper, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice robustness and balance of pale malt/corn and moderate earthy hop flavors; with a nice malt/bitterness balance, and minimal lingering hop astringency after the finish. Moderately crisp/clean finishing. Very clean on lager flavors, with minimal fruity/yeasty notes present. Light-moderate increasing bitter/carbonated dryness. Medium-plus carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth and moderately bready/grainy/sticky balanced mouthfeel that is nice. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4.3%. Overall this is a very good Pre-prohibition lager. All around nice robustness and balance of pale malt/corn and moderate earthy hop flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink with the modestly bitter/drying finish. Very flavorful and not watery for the ABV. Very clean and nicely rich barely/grain flavors, with plenty of earthy hop presence for the style. Not overdone on adjuncts, would have preferred it be a little less hoppy. A very enjoyable offering, and well made style example.

Baby blue can from vintage. Pours like a lighter brilliant crisp pale with a slight haze. Typical clean american ubiquitous pale lager olfactory, no ill aromas are presented to the nose. Taste is more hoppy than I thought it would be but, then it begins to settle. Very good fine lager carbonation. Yes, cutting crisp and goes down easy. Could possibly be the next step up from a pale lager. Finish evolves to be a somewhat old world pilz. Not bad.
