12 oz can at Van Beers. Pours a crystal clear gold color with a white head and very good retention. Basic corn lager aroma. Basic lager flavor too. Maybe a touch soapy? Mostly smooth and clean, and lightly sweet. Medium-light body. Medium carbonation. Low bitterness. A serviceable beer. Not much of a pilsner.

Can from Busch's. Pours a clear honey gold with a small white head that dissipates. Light corn sweetness on the nose that pivots into almost bubblegum like Belgian blonde notes as it warms. Light on the palate but somehow a well-rounded mouthfeel. Finishes with a light sweetness. Enjoyable.

Can to shaker. Pours a dark amber with 1 finger quickly dissipating cream white head. Aroma is light, bready malt. Flavor is caramel forward with some light hop finish, the caramel lingers a bit. Light bodied, the carbonation is a bit high for my liking. Decent Oktoberfest offering.

Like a carbonated butterscotch candy. Very malty and on the sweet side, but the texture is good and it never grows cloy. Better than expected.
