A: The beer is clear yellow in color and has a moderate amount of carbonation. It poured with a finger high white head that died down, leaving a patch of bubbles on the surface, a collar around the edge, and some lacing down the sides of the glass.
S: Light aromas of grassy hops are present in the nose along with hints of grainy malts.
T: The taste is similar to the smell, except that flavors of grainy malts are a little more prominent and notes of corn are noticeable. The hops contribute a light amount of bitterness, the latter of which lingers through the finish.
M: It feels light-bodied (but not watery) and a little clean on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation. The bitter finish leaves your mouth a little dry.
O: This beer is pretty easy to drink and is pretty good when compared to other beers in the style. It has a good amount of bitterness to help cut through the malts and hide some of the adjunct flavors.

Standard stuff here: completely clear pale yellow-goldbeer with a bubbly, somewhat spritzy head that, like so many, talks big and drops fast. It does, however, leave a touch of spotting as it goes.
A bit of lemon zest under grains and a light, bready sort of malts presence makes up the very light aroma. Combined with a strange funkiness, it's a little below average.
The flavor doesn't vary much, but the funk is fortunately missing. Along with something like a corn husk-like adjunct flavor, there is a nice, light note of herbal and floral hops that prove that at least hops are in here.
The feel is almost, but not quite, par for the course: very light-bodied, big on crispness, a bit heavily carbonated. Eurp pale lagers can even be good, something I don't believe of AALs or adjuncts in particular, so I know this mouthfeel isn't to par. Light doesn't have to mean thin. It is clean, though.

Poured from bottle into a pint glass

Appearance – The beer pours a clear, lighter golden color with a one finger white head. The head fades rather fast to leave a light level of lace on the sides of the glass.

Smell – The aroma was rather mild, consisting of some light bready malts as well as a light caramel smell mixed with a bit of a grassy aroma.

Taste – The taste starts out with a lightly caramel sweetened malty and bready taste. As the taste advances the light caramel sweetness fades some, giving only a light level of sweetness overall to the taste. In the end a very light grassy and herbal hop taste come to the tongue, leaving a smooth and clean flavor to linger on the tongue.

Mouthfeel – The body of the beer is rather light overall with a thinner body and a slightly higher carbonation level. Both the higher carbonation and the thinner body create a very easy drinking brew and compliment well the crisp and clean taste that is left on the tongue at the end of the taste.

Overall – A decent and easy drinking lager with a fair level of refreshment. It is rather simple, but has no off flavors making it a good brew to drink when wanting something crisp and simple on a nice hot day while sitting and chatting with friends.

look: 3.5 | smell: 2.5 | taste: 2.5 | feel: 2 | overall: 2.5

A - poured a pale golden yellow with a thick fluffy head

s - instantly picked up some skunkiness with the pour, but it subsided and picking up some fruit (apricot?) and light hop

t - nothing to recommend, giving it a bit to bring it to a 2.5, was very close to a 2. the aftertaste is slightly metallic, but it was in a can prior to pouring into a glass, not sure how much that has affected the flavor or if this is a pickup of something else in brewing. some grain-like cereal and a bit of fruit

m - slightly carbonated, almost oily leaving a slightly pungent aftertaste

o - not recommended, would try again from tap, but will not purchase again for home consumption
