Draft at Odd Side. Pours a clear, light gold with a finger of white head. Bready malt aromas with some grain. More of the same on the palate. Very drinkable, with some light stone fruit as it warms up.

Draft taster at Standard Market. Looks like a typical pale fizzy water, in other words, exactly to style. Thin nose of a basic “beer” smell. Taste is pretty decent. I get maybe a note of someone’s obscure regional lawnmower beer, with a touch of lemon, perhaps. It does serve as a nice cleanser to a Morbidly Obese Pug variant I had before this. Don”t see anything about this that is not as claimed, except for a slightly dry malt taste, and that citrus note. I can’t pick out any extra hop besides the standard buttering hop load. A slight kudo for being the beer your grandpa didn’t know he needed.

12 ounce can into lager glass, canned on 1/12/2018. Pours slightly hazy pale straw color with a 1 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Nice dense soapy lacing clings down the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of lemon, cracker, corn, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, herbal, grass, light pepper, and yeast earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance of pale malt, corn, and light-moderate earthy hop notes; with good strength. A bit too fruity/yeasty in the aromas, but not overwhelming. Taste of lemon, cracker, corn, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, herbal, grass, pepper, and yeast earthiness. Light-moderate herbal, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of lemon, cracker, corn, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, herbal, grass, pepper, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Nice robustness and balance of pale malt, corn, and light-moderate earthy hop flavors; with a nice malt/bitterness balance, and zero astringent hop flavors after the finish. Moderately crisp/clean finishing. Moderate increasing dryness from bitterness and carbonation. Nicely clean on lager flavors, not too fruity/yeasty. Medium-high carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth and moderately bready/grainy/sticky balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4.5%. Overall this is a nice American pale lager. All around nice robustness and balance of pale malt, corn, and light-moderate earthy hop flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink. Very flavorful and not thin/watery for the ABV. Quite hoppy for the style, almost German Pils levels. Clean pils malt/corn and nice earthy hop presence. A nicely enjoyable offering, and well made style example.
