Can picked up at Kihoskh and drunk at home (27/10/2023) - Bitter grassy hoppy, sweet lightly toasted malts, cereal, wheat, crisp on the palate, bitter hoppy finish. Great stuff from these guys again.

Stars & Stripes Edition (during World Cup 2022): Completely crisp golden coloured body with a thinnish, pure white head that fades pretty quickly and leaves a gold glow with only a bunch of bubbles on the bottom. Aroma of metallic notes with some malt and a dry grassy scent as well, without much sugars or hops here, of course. Light-bodied; Very crisp grassy and hay-like notes come through with a good biscuity malt characteristic along with a soft sweetness here and some subtle very low alpha acid hop notes that show some bitterness, but not much character. Aftertaste is dry and grassy with the biscuity components and only a hint of sugars without much else at all, this is mild throughout, as expected. Overall, a pretty soft and standard beer without any pungency or deep notes and only a touch of hops and sugars as well, but an easy-drinking beer without much flavour, but that's pretty nice for the style. Not a bad beer by any means, but perhaps a bit better when the US is playing the World Cup, except when the lose versus Holland in the Last Sixteen. I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from Trader Joe's in New York (Union Square - 14th Street), New York on 03-December-2022 for US$1,75 sampled on the streets of New York on 03-December-2022 with my family at Christmastime.

16 oz can from Halftime, 5/30/20. Pours a clear gold, thin white head, light / spotty lace. Grains, corn, and spice. Herbal, bright, and hoppy. Nice bitterness level. Simple and clean. I think the name kinda says it all. Probably not worth craft beer prices, but a tasty Pils none-the-less.
