Can from ? Pours brassy gold with a creamy white head. Aroma is malty - with a touch of something like lime, or something mildly green. Med body. Flavor is roasty malt, but with something off the common path. Something herbal, floral, yeasty or a combination. Fairly dry. Hardly bitter. Decent for food wash I think.

Perfectly clear golden coloured body with a two centimetre tall pure white head that fades like soda - not so great. Aroma of stale hops, funky cardboardie malts, a good deal of bread and yeast and a touch of light candy as well. Light-bodied; Strong fresh, dry and grassy flavours show stronger than anything else with a light kick of herbs and perfume, but also some stale malt and pungent astringency towards the end that does bring out the alcohol and grain. Aftertaste shows the dry and biscuity malt notes, a light, but noticeable bit of citrus and bitterness with a touch the hay and floral notes and a hit of the yeast and breadiness towards the end. Overall, a pretty dry and one-dimensional beer that leaves a nice, dry and grassy finish, but leaves some slightly off-putting and stale malt flavour at the very end. Not a horrible beer, but probably not one to search out, even for those who love lagers! I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Giant Food in Falls Church, Virginia on 13-January-2020 for US$1,99, sampled at my house here in Washington on 21-July-2020, the fifteenth metiversary for me and my wife!

Corn and corn meal nose. Clear amber, thin head. Sweet grits, subtle hints of rosehips. Medium body, easy carbonation. Not awful, but not for me.

Pours golden with a thick white head. Aroma of light yeast. Taste has light floral notes, yeasty finish. Palate has a lightly hopped note, continuation of bread elements with a delicate acerbic finish. Good.

From a can. Standard mostlynclear pale yellow pour with a lively white head. Pale smooth malts, some corn notes and a touch of hop bite at the end. A bit sweet and not as dry and crisp for a summer light lager that I had hoped
