Throwing a bullseye at an easy sunshine lager designed to drop anchor on that Forever Summer feeling knotted up inside you. The floral lemon & hay aromas paired with earthy spice from Noble hops are well-balanced by lightly toasted honey malt. Flawlessly clear gold under a white foam cap, this squeaky clean, cracker crisp lager coasts on minimal bitterness & a moderate 4.5% ABV. No need to look at the calendar, Summer’s in the can.

2$ can from chalet premier. Pour is slight haze on light pale. Constant streams of bubbly co2 inside, nice show. Mild fresh citrus note. First taste is also friendly notes of citrus. Every so slight, what seems to be, noble hop bitterness, but never in yer face. I'm not convinced this is a helles style. I'd say its more of a blonde lager of some sort. On brewver, I'd put it into the premium lager style since there is no blonde lager. Very friendly on the quaffable scale. Easy-going, pleasant and uncomplicated. This session was welcoming, cordial, amiable, approachable, affable, genial, harmonious & cooperative.

12oz can. Easy drinking Summer Lager. lemon touched noble hops, sort of an odd touch. Easy medium body. Simple malts, light and bready. Not perfect, a little boring and underwhelming, but OK I suppose.

12 oz. can from Total Wine. Pours a clear gold color with a tight white head and great retention. Good lacing too. Standard pale lager aroma. Uncomplicated sweet pale malt flavor. No gimmicks, just a good lager. Smooth, clean, and refreshing. Medium body and medium-light carbonation. Low bitterness. Very enjoyable.

Lemon, bready malt, and herbal grass aroma. Golden yellow with moderate head and mild effervescence. Mildly sweet lemon, biscuit malt, and mildy bitter grass flavor. Good body.
