Pour is a clear but somewhat hazy yellow with a large white head. Aroma is some decent wet dough lager malt. Flavor is a sweet grainy but dry malt with not much left after the swallow. This beer doesn't totally suck but it is oddly sweet for the style.

Can. Pours a clear straw yellow with a white head that dissipates slowly to the edges and laces. Aroma has a nice light grass note with grain and a bit of straw underlying. Flavor has sweet grains and straw with a bit of grass in the finish.

Single 12 oz can from Binny’s. Bright golden color with lots of bubbles chasing each other around, under a foamy white head. Light toasty malt smell with a hint of Pilsener style softened water. Taste is everything you remember about your college Pabst or Hamm’s, but without much adjunct or off notes. Crispy pale malt. Just a little Noble hop bitterness that mainly creeps up in the aftertaste. Even as a Sox fan, I will easily concede that this does not suck.
