Draft
App- A bit of a darker brown with a little bit of head to it. Was a nice looking beer from a can.
Smell- Malty with a slight hop note. Was a little surprised at a sweet aspect to it as well.
Taste- I was surprised again at the smoothness of this beer. It was tasty and not overly done and actually pretty good.
Mouth- Medium bodied and medium carbed. A little bit of malty after taste.
Drink- I was caught off guard by this. I saw this last year in a gas station in the middle of Utah and didnt buy the sixer. Was pretty tasty.

I saw this offering for the first time in the craft beer section of our local gas station.
This beer is slightly darker than your run of the mill cheap, industrial lagers.
It has a nice beer smell, nothing too exotic, just very nice. Straight forward malt and hops flavor. Reminiscent of some of the beer I had while stationed in Germany.
Lager lovers should give this one a try.
The 5.6% ABV is very discreet, but after having 3 of these in a brief session I have no doubts.
As reviewed from a shaker glass, I enjoyed this more and more as it warmed up.
This brewer should be quite proud of his product and I hope to see more of it.
