The classic American lager. Golden, crisp, and refreshingly dry on the finish, this is all-day artisan beer for summer in the mountains.

Reviewed from notes.
Can to lager glass.
Appearance: clear yellow color with a three finger white foamy head which settled off at a nice pace but barely left any lace
Aroma: slight lemony hop tones with a little bit of freshly cut grass and a touch of earthy hops; light biscuity malts in the backbone
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine malty sweet to hoppy bittersweet quality; finishes crisp with a touch of dryness
Texture: light bodied; sessionable; good smoothness with nothing distracting the flow; good carb level
Overall: a nicely done pale lager worthy of coming back to.

16 oz can from Half Time, 7/14/24. Clear good with a big, wispy white head that dissipates quickly down to nothing. Cereal grains and a little lemon. Drinks decently, slightly thin. Solid overall, but a little dull.

Undated can drunk 6/30/22. Clear, pale-golden. Large, white head, well-retained. Nose is very interesting. Some heavy mineral, light sulfur, apple and rustic grains. Low hop character, but definitely some herbs. Soft, malty, very chewy almost texture. Good attenuation with mineral, soft herb and grass. Malt character is excellent. It's like it knows it could be a Helles, but doesn't quite go that far. Hop character is lighter, as well, to style. Really nice, clean.

Can from Livonia Liquor. Pours a clear straw gold with a fluffy white head that lingers. Lovely crisp, crackery malt aromas. More of the same on the palate...so corn-like flavors, light malt and slightly sweet on the finish. Easy drinking.

Pours clear yellow straw into a shaker. Bright white head with medium retention recedes to skim surface. Hay aromas. Crisp with sweet hay and caramel upfront turning to sourdough in the dry, medium length finish.
