Had straight from the 12 oz. can, ice cold and with friends,and in a glass to judge appearance.

A: Clear, golden lager with a white head that sticks around much more than I expected.

S: A clean smell colored only by the grassy hops and basic pale malt.

T: This is a crisp refreshing beer. First the hops open up with some bitterness and earthy undertones, followed by the malt, which both ride on the clean carbonation. The malt seems to have a rather grainy character, rather than a bread-like one. The finish is quite dry and clean. The mouthfeel is light-medium bodied and high in carbonation.

D: A very simple premium Lager; clean and light. I find this to be much more bearable than say Budweiser or Miller. A go-to beer for pizza or other such cheap foods, and great to enjoy with friends. It's not something I would stick with all the time, or even most of the time. Yet, it's uncomplicated and can be a great change of pace from heavy or pretentious beers.
