Pint Can. Pale yellow with a minimal white head. The aroma is faint and indistinct with perhaps some mild grains. The taste is weak lemons. The palate is thin bordering on watery and the carbonation is lively. /finishes thankfully short and dry. Overall: Meh--thin fizzy yellow lager.

Aromas are wet grain, malt and a touch floral. Flavors are similar to nose, a little more sweet than bitter. Decent body and carbonation. Finish is bitter at first, going to an easy sweet.

Can at King Sushi - Jackson. Pours clear yellow with a foamy, pure white head. Light sweet flavour with notes of lean biscuits, a little pale grain, light bitter hay. Light bodied with average carbonation. Clean finish, lightly drying, more pale biscuits, dried cereal. Drinkable stuff if a bit basic.

16 oz. Aroma is bready, grassy, chalky, floral. Pours nearly clear pale golden with a one finger bone white head with decent retention. Taste is mildly sweet with some faint bitterness in the background, finishing lightly dry. Creamy mouthfeel. Smooth, crisp, clean and refreshing.
