One of those beers that is always around at family gatherings but rarely drank, and even then never contemplated. It pours an extremely pale sickly yellow color, with a decent level of lasting surface coverage at least. Some wispy lace around the edges of the glass, and rapidly rising trails of champagne carbonation visible.

Basic soggy grain aroma, minerally dishrag, nondescript to the point of nonexistence.

Taste is dull and flat, ghostly pilsner malt with hint of apple from the lager yeast in the aftertaste. Watery and overly gassy with co2. Finishes very clean, like nothing almost. An ubiquitous macro, just one of those things that blends into the landscape, like stale pretzels and dirty ashtrays. Unexciting and bland from all angles.

Pairs well with reruns of BBQ Pitmasters and United States of Bacon.

Poured from a 12oz bottle into a pint glass.

Appearance is a very pale, transparent yellow color. Lots of carbonation and a small amount of light colored head that fades quickly.

Smell is extremely weak, maybe a hint of malt.

Taste is weird, very watery and a bit sour.

Mouthfeel is honestly pleasant, very light-bodied with a nice dry finish. Very easy to drink, and the smell of the alcohol is well-hidden.

Overall it is hard to rate the macros when compared to the micros. There just isn't much to this - when it comes to smell and taste I would really like something a bit more distinctive, but I think they deserve credit for brewing beer that is both consistent and drinkable.
