Can. Clear, golden color with a nice three finger head. Well balanced and an excellent lager being a great representation of the style.

12 ounce can from Kroger Rio Hill, 10/14/20. Slightly hazy gold. large foamy white head, good retention. Aroma of lemon and toast. Taste is white bread, lemon, lime. Medium bodied, crisp. Kinda boring but decent.

Super clear golden coloured body with a very thin, single centimetre tall pure white head that fades very quickly and leaves nothing on top. Aroma of grass, fake sugars, odd alternative malts and a super pungent bready and yeastie kick at the very end - quite strong and not in a good way. Light-bodied; Strong malty, earthy, biscuity and funky artificial sugar bite that leaves the palate off-centred with a dry, but odd and not 'normal' flavour o only fake sugars, fake malts and dry yeast with no real 'beer flavours'. Aftertaste shows the malt and odd yeast/bread notes which seem to permeate the malt and sugars entirely, and since there is seemingly no hops here at all, those don't factor into the product. Overall, a very funky and odd beer that is seemingly an escape from everything typical with a beer from the malts to the sugars and even the yeast is not really polished - it leaves a funky flavour throughout, and when there aren't any other flavours to focus on, the ones than are there that aren't good are exemplified. I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Harris Teeter in Arlington, Virginia on 17-August-2020 for US$1,87 sampled at my house here in Washington on 01-September-2020.

Pours pale amber with a thin white head. Aroma of sweet malt. Taste has grainy element with light yeast notes. Palate has an intense nose note of the aforementioned grain: reminiscent of toasted rye bread. Fascinating nose note, full bodied for the style.

From a 12 oz. can courtesy of Jow. Pours a clear gold with a white head. Refreshing lager with bready flavors.

16 oz. can at the Falls City Pub, Ohiopyle, PA. Clean and smooth and light with good lager flavor. Great thirst quencher. Very repeatable and poundable.

Not terrible, but definitely in the gotta placate the macro drinker category of craft lager. Malts provide the slightest bit of cracker and white bread, while the hops flit by with a modest floral bite. Finishes yeasty, giving up lemon and doughy esters and a slight sweet graininess. Poster beer for average. Eh.
