Aroma is a subtle combination of light and brisk with malt, grain and, mild floral hops. Pours bright and clear. The first sip is crisp with biscuit and a very light honeysuckle character that imparts a unique complexity on a simple backdrop.

Surprised to find this cheap can for a buck at moon pop n beer. Pours crystal clear very light pale with a foamy white head. Yes, looks just like any other american macro light pale lager. Nose is simple clean pale lager with a tad of metallic odor. First taste tells me this is a little more than a light pale lager, its got a little pilsner sharp bite in there. Has a taste similar to many premium pale lagers I've had. Yes, quite light and somewhat watery on the palate and it does have some pils attributes that linger after each slug. Co2 level is quite nice, somewhat refreshing in that aspect. In the middle I'm still thinking this is more than a macro style pale lager. I bet many macro lager lovers will say there is a bit more bitterness in there than they care for. After tasting many domestic pilsner, good and bad, I'd say this falls into the average category of that style. JMHO. Just curious what kind of hops are actually used for the 'mild floral hops' hehehh, wondering if they truly were noble. That pointed pils sharp, almost astringent, domestic pilsner bitter bite really sets in on the finish.

In a sampler pack: pours pale. Barely any aroma or taste. Clean I guess but they really hit the nail on the head. Why bother.

On a flight of four in the Whole Foods bar in Laguna Niguel on 4th September 2025, Pale urine gold, wispy white scum on top. Not a lot going on to be honest, boring Light Lager in every sense.

Sample, thanks oh6gdx! Clear golden, small head. Neutral nose. Sweet with light body and clean mouthfeel. Some syrup. Lots of water. Low bitterness. More cloying than refreshing, despite the blandness.

Well, congrats, Dale’s. You’ve made a craft lager as bland and unappealing as Mich Ultra. Nice work.
