Brewed to the American standard of a classic lager, this light golden beer is our mildest offering with a creamy, smooth taste.

Light crisp lageer. Very similar to Coors Light. A nice choice when you don't want something too heavy.

Tastes incredibly thin and indifferent. Very brief flavor of grain and damp hay. Only a very faint kick on the swallow before fading to nothing like water.

A poor lager with zero character.

Smooth and creamy is right. This feels thick and thin at the same time somehow. It’s best feature is that this beer tastes cold. Yes, it tastes cold, which is good when you’re thirsty like I was. I could probably smash a few of these, so if that’s you’re thing, it’s us per easy to drink. Despite several issues with its profile, it’s drinkable.

I'm really not a fan of this beer. I had tried it before and I liked it for some reason. But now that I'm drinking on it for a bit, I'm realizing it tastes like a very mass-produced corny beer. Not a fan... If I wanted the taste of buy a pack of Coors probably. You can taste and smell the adjunct which I believe is overwhelmingly corn.

Nothing to this one. Light aroma and flavor. Metallic for some reason. Pale yellow in color. Skip it, unless you're bored with water. Better offerings are on the menu,
