12 oz can. Pours a fizzy yellow color with a medium white head. The aroma is mild corn and some indistinct grains. The taste is washed out light grains. Palate is thin and watery. Finishes thankfully short. Overall: Damn Deschutes, you can do better than this.

Aromas are dark malt, cocoa, coffee, roast. Flavors are similar to nose with okay body and carbonation. Bittersweet. Finish is a mild lingering bitter. Pretty good.

19.2 oz can from Albertsons. Foggy golden pour, small but sturdy white fluffy head, spotty lacing. Light fruity citrusy aroma, pineapple. Taste kicks into gear with zesty pineapple flavors (short-lived), citrus and a little warmth.

Part of an excellent mixed 12 pack I got super fresh in San Jose on a work trip. Packaged 4.05.25, sipped in the hotel originally the first week June.

Last straggler gets a pint glass at home.
Big foam, pale-medium gold, very slight haze, sticky.
Strong note of sweet pineapple & papaya on the nose. Sweet, unfermented fruit juice.
Onion-apple forward, sweet & lingering papaya, light cream, mellow herbal hops. Kinda trashy now but it was hoppier & more malt forward when fresh. At least it's not all that sweet.

Fruit juice.

Worktrip. Part of a mixed six brought back to my San Jose hotel. 4.19.25 freshie at the time in May, but now it's July.

Clear, pale, classic lager with a soapy, slightly thin head.
Saline, light soap, sort of high acid, sharp grain.
Bittersweet, leaning off-dry. High acid, tight grain, small citrus, sweet herbal.
Extra crispy itchy but not irritating. Really slosh-able.

Exactly what you want, but done a little better.
