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.

Full can, straw color and well carbonated. A step up from a standard lager really with a flavorful addition of hops. A little sweetness. Solid for what it is.

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.

Can. Pour is fairly clear lighter pale. Smell is fairly neutral, yet clean. Perhaps just a tad of cream corn perfume in hiding in teh background. First taste is a little more bitter than I like my lagers. Its not quite as smooth as I was expecting. Not sure if I would call this super crisp, but its kindah ok. Yes, it certainly does not have the manners of a straight up well made cheaper macro pale american lager. Goes down fairly easy, even tho that odd bitter bite is rising in the middle. Yea, was expecting something smoother considering its a gash. Well, finish is almost OK, bitter ending, in more ways than one. There you have it.

Light lemon, but only a hint. Golden pour with decent head. A slight bit of snappiness, but not really much to this. Ok. Tap at Shelter.

12 ounce can. Straw gold color. Pillowy white head. Nice lacing. Bready malt aroma has minerally notes. Slightly tart, lemony flavor upfront. Notes of mineral and herb. Some light pine in finish.

335mL canned 3/6/24, drunk 4/9/24. Clear blonde-brass. Sizable white head, modest retention. Bit of yellow fruit, biscuity malts. It's clean. Light pine and citrus, bit of yeast on the finish but not very classic, crisp, mineralesque lager. Fuller body, strong but tight carbonation with excellent malt adding bread dough and honey. Pepper, light pine, yellow fruit and lingering bitterness. Not very summery. It's robustly malty and bitter. But props for that, I guess. Clean.
