16 oz can from HyVee, Ankeny. So we got a lot of pale lagers from Iowa, so I may not expect a lot. But let’s see. Does smell like a corn adjunct lager, but what would I have expected. At least not too sugary. Pours a slightly hazy yellow color, thin rapidly dwindling head. Taste also has some corn sweetness to it. I’m thinking it could have used some extra hops to counteract the corn. But than again, it actually does have a nice thick mouthfeel. Probably would be the equal of some thick Iowa cut steaks or chops. But yeah, the alcohol can go straight to you.

From my wife from the brewery: pours copper with a large, long-lasting white head. Aroma is musty wine, tree. Taste is sweet, musty grape, tingly booze buzz. Very smooth. Pleasant to drink.

16 oz. can in a trade with jcwattsrugger. Stamped on the bottom that it goes extinct on May 28-18. The label art and stamp code amuse me. But honestly, if you are going to call yourself a "New England IPA" you better bring it! Aroma is very mild fruit and nothing more. The flavor shows weak citrus and a whole leaf hop. The only real correct thing they got about this is that it has literally no bitterness. Fruit flavor and juice level is low. Overall, drinkable for sure. How many true NEIPA's have the folk out in Iowa really sampled? This is going in the write direction but not quite there yet.

16 oz. can in a trade with jcwattsrugger. Canned Mar-21-18. Deep straw colored appearance with thin lasting head. Aroma is whole leaf hops and mild malt. The flavor has the piney, peppery hops that are noted in the aroma. Bitterness and malt are balanced. Body and carbonation are proper. This is very old school and that is what I enjoyed about it.

16 oz. can in a trade with jcwattsrugger. Crystal clear golden color, low carbonation level showing no head. Aroma is cereal grain, honey, and light grassy hops. Flavor has a bready malt base with cereal grain. Notes of honey. The finish shows notes of honey without any bitterness. Lighter body with a soft crisp texture. Easy to drink but the body is pretty lean.
