Pretty nice. Not sure what to call it style while. Commercial description says all malt pilsner, claiming a GABF award for that. Ratebeer calls it a helles/dort. Tasted a bit like an above average american pale lager to me. Not that I'm trying to rate to style, I'm just noting the various different categorizations and find it curious. It did not taste all malt, there was a distinct grainy/corn element to it. That's not to say it was bad, not at all. It was very clean and balanced with just a touch of grassy hops and even some cracker malt to go with the grains. Low but detectable bitterness. A quite enjoyable 4 pack for hot weather Florida days, hence the title I'm sure. Also goes well with food.

16 oz. can bought at Total Wine - Melbourne, FL. Pours a clear gold color with a large white head and very good retention. Barely any lacing. Basically no aroma. Tastes like a good, clean, well made basic lager with a light bready finish. Not grainy. Slightly sweet. No bitterness. Medium body. Easily repeatable.

I’ve passed this brew over for months since it’s now a mainstay but damn it’s a very pleasant lager. Nothing crazy just clean and crisp. Yellow pour and a white head. Tastes of grass and some yeast light citrus. Easy drinking and no off flavors on after taste at all which can detriment plenty of lagers.
