Can from Total Wine in Vacaville, CA. Pours clear light bright gold with a rather large white head. Aroma has a light breadiness and floral plus something. Med body or so. It's malty/bready but fairly dry. Nicely bitter. The bitterness is quite spicy. Not grass/spice but more like non-chili pepper. Very nice.

12 oz. can from Total Wine. Pours a very hazy pale yellow color with a bright white head and good retention. Some spots of lacing. Lemony hops aroma. The taste follows the nose: Lemony hops flavor mixed in a lager. Almost an IPL, but very light bitterness. Medium-light body. Lower than expected carbonation. It's crisp and refreshing on a hot day. Not bitter enough for hop heads yet too hoppy for lager lovers.

Pour is a lemonade looking cloudy yellow with a large white head. Aroma is a bit of parfume and floral hops. Flavor is more floral hops with zero body and malt present. Finish is lemons and some cream corn. Not stellar with little to no malt body but the hops are pleasant.
