24 ounce can into lager glass, best before 6/11/2018. Pours crystal clear pale golden yellow color with a small fairly dense and fluffy white head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Light spotty lacing clings on the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of cracker, corn, white bread dough, light biscuit, and herbal/grassy earthiness. A bit too fruity aromas, but not overpowering. Okay aromas with pale malt/corn and light earthy hop notes; with decent strength. Taste of cracker, corn, white bread dough, light biscuit, and herbal/grassy earthiness. Mild herbal, grassy, spicy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of cracker, corn, white bread dough, light biscuit, and herbal/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Nice robustness of pale malt/grains and light earthy hop flavors; with a nice malt/bitterness balance, and zero cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Moderately crisp/clean finishing. Perfectly clean on lager flavors, with zero yeast notes present. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium-high carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately bready/grainy, and lightly sticky balanced mouthfeel that is good. A bit thin, but not watery finish.Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4.2%. Overall this is a very solid light lager. All around good robustness of pale malt/grains and light earthy hop flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink. Nicely flavorful for the low ABV. Clean pale malt/grains and decent earthy hop balance. Definitely one of the better macro light beers available. An enjoyable offering.

On a flight to Seattle. 33cl can poured into a nice plastic cup. Pours clear golden with a collapsing, white head. The weak aroma contains wet corn or maize, some hops. It tastes light bitter, and that’s about it. Very short finish, watery texture, thin body, soft carbonation. What I call water with ambition.

16 oz can at my house, brought by somebody because they heard I love beer. Pouring this would feel wrong, so I didn’t. Kinda a cool can. Vintage look. Probably the most memorable quality going on here. Drinking this tonight because I felt like eating a little healthier for a change. Just this once. Somewhat typical pale lager aroma, but doesn’t stink, or have anything that screams skunk. Crisp, watery, apple hinted grains with a doubled watery finish. Working my way slowly through these cans, it seems to be a post workout cool down beverage over anything else. Not a whole lot of structure or any real flavor to truly build from. It’s a beer for someone who potentially likes beer, but is in no way ready for commitment. A beer for someone who thinks of growlers as pitchers-to-go. I can jokingly shit on this beer for hours, but really, it’s drinkable, and a top 10 percentile in adjunct lagers, despite being a bottom 10 percent in beer in general. It’s not like some of these pale lagers that taste like the melted ice from the urinal. Horrible situation to be in. Not really here. This beer is wonderfully vacuous and platitudinous. I’ll surly drink this again someday.
