12 oz. can from Total Wine - Greenville, SC. Pours a crystal clear pale gold color with a dull white head and good retention. Almost no lacing. Virtually no aroma. Sweet pale malts and maybe a hint of lemon hops. Crisp mouthfeel. Smooth and clean. Light body, a little watery. Super easy drinking. Just a no-nonsense lager.

12 oz. can from Total Wine - Greenville, SC. Pours a hazy gold color with a white head and good retention. Spotty lacing. There is more salt aroma than there is pale malt aroma. As advertised, flavors of salty pale malt with just a hint of lime in the finish. Again, the salt is more noticeable than anything else. Simple, clean and refreshing. Medium body. No bitterness. Good beach beer.

12 oz. can from Total Wine - Greenville, SC. Pours a clear dark amber color with a khaki head and good retention. Very light lacing. Virtually no aroma. The flavor has some subtle caramel malt and not much else. Crisp enough mouthfeel with a soft finish. Light+ body. A little sweet with no bitterness. No acidity like a lot of amber ales. Good but forgettable.

12 oz can to glass at The Crazy Crab on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. The pour is a chill hazed light golden with a small white head. The aroma is lime citrus, hint of sea salt and clean cracker malt. The taste is clean lager, touch of spice hop, clean cracker malt and the lime citrus complementing throughout. The palate is light bodied, active carbonation and the crisp clean finish. Easy drinking, was great with seafood.

12oz can. Poured a mostly clear, golden yellow color with not much of a head to speak of. Not as much lime and salt as I expected. Light grassy notes, some malt, light sweetness. Decent.

Not much going on; mild cracker malt and a slight corn-laced sweetness lead to artificial lime on the back end, with a medicinal bitterness undercut by brine in the fade. Creamy texture's nice, and the pint looks pretty enough, but not a very good beer.

Can: Hazy, pale yellow with a short white head. Wheat, coriander aroma. Taste is sweet....orange malt, coriander, grainy wheat malt. Light and tasty....malty. Not bad at all.....though it grows a little too sweet towards the finish.
