Super clear golden coloured body with a very thin, pure white head that fades relatively quickly. Aroma of light grain, a hint of lemons, some very slight astringent metallic notes and a smooth yet noticeable breadiness from the very light lager yeasts. Light-bodied; Sharp grainy and biscuity flavour shows at first with a distinct, very light and smooth malt character that is easy-drinking and slightly astringent with a metallic twang, but then some support in the form of light sugars and a dose of fresh squeezed lemon juice is noticeable right afterwards and balances things out a touch. Aftertaste is dry, biscuity, malty, yeastie and having quite a bit of character for such an easy-drinking, low-alcohol lager with the characteristics that you'd want from a light lager, but still going down very easily in the summer heat here in Virginia. Overall, a pretty nice light lager with some strong metallic, citrus and biscuity malt notes, but all very easy-drinking yet complex. A good beer for the summer here in the Mid-Atlantic region and one that would be recommended if you're looking for that or an escape from the super hoppy beers that are typically out there. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Whole Foods in Pentagon City (Arlington), Virginia on 14-August-2020 for US$3,99 sampled at my house here in Washington on 24-August-2020, just ten days later.
