Poured from the can into a .2 l pilsener flute. Bright yellow color which shows a bit of haze, which turns out to be fine floaties, meaning this is lightly filtered. There is a sudsy head that hangs around for a while. The smell is the familiar beer smell from when my dad used to let me sample. There's also a bit of corn sugar sweetness in the nose. The taste is light with a bit of lightly toasted malt. There's a little sweetness on the tongue, but also some hop bitterness in balance. The carbonation delivers more hoppiness and even some dryness. Being sold in a can keeps out the light that skunks Mexican lagers in clear bottles. Still a slight bit of fusel alcohol in the aftertaste, which keeps me from proclaiming this a clean finish. But this is a decent summer beer among craft brewers trying to recapture the light lager style.

Bottle thanks to Russell. Pours a dark purple with small pink head that diminishes to nothing. The aroma is strong elderberry, cocoa, rye, booze. Slick body, berry, earth, cocoa, boozy finish, very good.
