Pounder can from total wine canned 3/3/2023. Very light clear pale with a nice big foaming head. Some orange in the olfactory but I'm not sure what the other odors are. First taste impression is that there is something orange in there. Has a decent level of carbonation too. A big swig gives you a big foaming mouthful. Yea, some orange in there and there is some kind of feeling of plain old good pale lager too. Need I say, its a pretty well balanced lager, not like so many terrible domestic attempts at a good tasting lager. I would expect nothing less from CL. Not sure lately, but in the old days, good ol' CL made some decent beers. Mind you, I haven't tasted one since the year '21 and those were IPA, so what do I know? The best one I tasted was the Captain Lawrence Smoke from the Oak Rum Barrel, and that was an oak age, which I don't particularly care for, clear back in '09. Anyway, in the middle, this stuff doesn't have many ill attributes and, its starting to grow on me. Yea, it finishes with a decent feel to it and, it kinda comes across as quite satisfying. A decent lager; not overpowering in the fruit aspect.

Pint can from Beer Run, 8/28/23. Clear gold, large white head, good retention. Aroma of tart orange, pale malt, chlorine. Taste is orange, pale malt. Crisp, moderate bitterness. Thankfully that chlorine doesn't follow through into the taste.

16 oz. can from Total Wine - Melbourne. Pours a crystal clear straw yellow color with a white head and fair retention. No lacing. Lots of streaming bubbles. Light citrus aroma. Tastes exactly like Bud Light Orange. Fizzy pale malt and artificial citrus flavor. Watery body. Very crisp and carbonated. Thin body. Okay as a beach/pool beer. Disappointing.
