Very crisp, pure golden coloured body with a slight haze to it, but a nice two centimetre tall, just off-white head that does fade fast and leave just about nothing on top after just a few seconds. Aroma of grass, light malts, some citrus and a dash of grain and a lot of floral hoppiness that does show a nice bitterness in the nose, especially for the style. Light-bodied; Very crisp grassy and floral notes dominate the flavour, with a smooth, relatively easy-drinking, yet flavourful malt quantity with some very smooth and light sweetness, mainly from a touch of caster sugar, but also from some subtle stone fruits and a sprinkle of citrus, but those show more of a crisp and dry bite. Aftertaste shows some bread, yeast, crisp malts, grain and a touch of herbal notes with a light hop bitterness, some grassy finishes and a good hop bite that really shows at the end with fresh and crsip malts that are balanced out nicely. Overall, a relatively smooth, easy-drinking lager, with a bunch of flavours and surprisingly enough, a nice fresh hop characteristic that shows well, especially for a lager! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from the Department of Beer and Wine in Alexandria, Virginia on 28-August-2020 for US$3,32 sampled at my house here in Washington on 28-September-2020.

$4.70 pint can, WW... a bit expensive for a light lager. Hazy pale gold with a small white head, a few small chunks floating. Grassy, almost minty (but not quite) nose. Flavor is grasses, corn... that's it. Way overpriced.
