Can from Beer On the Wall in Arlington Heights. Pours a clear straw gold with a pillowy head of white foam that lingers. Lovely bready malt aromas with some light fruit-like notes as it warms. More of the same on the pallet. Super crushable with a faint earthy bitterness towards the end. Soft mouthfeel. Excellent.

Draft at Goldfinger's 2nd Lagerversary. Golden color like an old-time Hamm's, thin layer of foam. Smell is malty with kiss of hops and a slight bit of sweetness. Solid version of your basic beer, but noticeably maltier, and a balanced bitterness from hops. Guessing they're going with traditional German style hops. Heartier than the basic bowling beers it tries to emulate, and that's a good thing. Crisp, as they say. This uses boiled corn grits, while the Mexican lager uses flaked maize.
