12 oz can pour. Pours a super light color with a faint lemon grassy aroma. Super easy drinking beer, as expected. Light bready flavor with some subtle grassy flavors as well. Just a tad sweet. Really sessionable beer for me. I could kill a ton of these watching football all day. Pretty impressive light beer for me. Enjoyed this.

Bottle @ home shared with Dutchdrebus and Ansjelaah. Dark brown color with a dark red glare coming through, light to medium brown colored head that lasts for quite some time. Smell and taste malts, sweetness, a hint of caramel and sugar with a touch of herbs or spices. Average body and carbonation.
