24 ounce can into lager glass, canned on 6/22/2018. Pours crystal clear pale golden yellow color with a small fairly dense and fluffy white head with good retention, that reduces to a minimal spotty lace cap that linger. Light spotty lacing on the, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of lightly tart lime juice, citrus peel/zest, cracker, corn, white bread, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance of limes, pale malt/grains, and light earthy hop notes; with solid strength. Taste of lightly tart lime juice, citrus peel/zest, cracker, corn, white bread, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Mild herbal, floral, grassy, zesty bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of lightly tart lime juice, citrus peel/zest, cracker, corn, white bread, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Nice robustness and balance of limes, pale malt/grains, and light earthy hop flavors; with a solid malt/bitterness balance, and no cloying flavors after the finish. Moderately crisp/clean finishing. Perfectly clean on lager flavors, with no yeasty notes present. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitterness and carbonation. Medium-high carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately bready/grainy, and lightly sticky mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4%. Overall this is a nice fruited light lager. All around nice robustness and balance of limes, pale malt/grains, and light earthy hop flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink. Very flavorful and not too watery for the ABV. Great balance between vibrant limes and pils malt/grains; with solid earthy hop presence for the style. Not overdone on adjuncts. A nicely enjoyable offering, and great style example. Would be great for summer.

Drank right from a clear bottle. Looks pale yellow and there is a slight hint of tangerine in the smell. First blast is good co2, cutting. Fairly refreshing. Not bad and not overly sweet like many fru-fru-fruity beers. Does not come across like soda pop or a radler, simply a light lager fruit beer, not bad.

This is really rare or its brand new. Bottle twist off cap as pictured. Very good carbonation. Does not look like a light beer, pretty good pale color in this one. Smell is not off-putting, but a little off-putting. Golden flavors of hay, no cardboard in this one. Quite enjoyable & refreshing, not bad! I’m happy with it, thank you. Maintains good co2 clear to the last drop. Many of these low alky mild pale lager brews are quite enjoyable.

Big can from Market Basket, tick. Holy shit that color, crystal clear and somewhere between pink and purple with a small bubbly pink tinged head that dissipates instantly. Fake cherry wild berry aroma and little else. Reminds me of the flavoring they put in these flavored sparkling waters.Straight up artificial cherry berry sweetness. One sip was manageable multiple required some effort and it just gets more cloying along the way. One and done for this experiment.
