Corn, chemical nose. Clear yellow, thin head. Light body, moderate carbonation. I'm glad that brewing has made the improvements it has in the past century.

12oz can pours out crisp clean straw topped with a white head. Nose is nice corn malts and some grassy touch. Taste is more of the nice corn grain malts and some grass.

12 oz, BA Lager Fest in Cyberspace. Aroma is grassy, corny, crackery, lightly bready. Pours mostly clear golden with a one finger off white head with decent retention. Taste has a light to moderate herbal bitterness, finishing very dry. Very nice.

When you see corn grits as ingredient you think something like malt liquor but it’s a nice refreshing pils with no crappy corn headache. Tastes of citrus, wheat, corn muffin, peppery. Clean bodied. Light yellow and puffy white head. Crusher

12 oz. can purchased at Total Wine - The Rim, San Antonio, TX. Pours a crystal clear pale yellow color with a white head and decent retention. No lacing. Virtually no aroma. Tastes more like a lager than a pilsner. Lightly grainy pale malt flavor with some sweet juice notes in the finish. Barely crisp mouthfeel. Clean and very easy drinking. No bitterness. I'm not sure what they were trying to copy but i like it.

Can thanks to Denny. Pours a hazy gold with small white head. The aroma is wheat and citrus. Thin body, wheat, citrus, crisp, crushable, very nice.
