16 oz can in a trade with tfontana. Ty Tom. Aroma shows pilsner malt, old bread, perhaps honey. The flavor is mostly grain showing corn and weak wheat. The body is really flimsy. Watery. The word “Lite” is super appropriate here.

Can with weird, illegible numbers on the bottom, from Tfontana, thanks, Tom! So glad I don't have to go to this place now! Drunk 4/2/24. Clear blonde. Medium-sized, white head quickly dissipates to spotty cover. Lightly hoppy (fresh herbs, fresh grass) with some sweet malts (honey and white bread) and finally some fruity yeast. Seems clean enough. Eek. Powdered sugar galore in the flavor with corn syrup-like notes, as well. Rather thin, though not overly so for its small abv. But whatever that awful character up front is, it completely ruins the beer. Odd that it wasn't noticeable (at least by me) from the nose. Off to the drain.

Can pour from Arlington Liquors. Lightly hazy golden yellow with light sparkle, thin cap of head with poor retention and no lacing. Aroma is molasses and grain (reminds me of animal feed). Taste is caramel, grain, hint of fruit. Smooth, thick texture, average carbonation and lightly bitter grainy finish. Decent strength to aroma and flavor for ABV but don't love it. Weird palate.
