look: 3 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 4

Poured a flip top bottle into my favorite pint glass

A - Golden amber color to the beer with one finger of white head. The pour leaves some solid retention and lacing around the perimeter of the glass. Lots of carbonation working as well.

S - Sweet grains and a lighter malt characteristic. Also present is an earthy malty aroma that is quite inviting.

T - Smooth sweet malty beginning with a bitter finish to the beer. Not highly hopped by any stretch of the imagination but a solid citizen beer.

M - Light body to the beer with heavy carbonation. I would characterize this beer as being quite sessionable.

D - Easy drinking with moderate carbonation on board. This beer is a nice alternative to the watered down tasteless BMC offerings.

3.13/5  rDev +0.6%
look: 3.5 | smell: 3 | taste: 3 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.25

A: Pours a crystal clear medium yellow in color with moderate to heavy amounts of visible carbonation and some lemon + golden yellow highlights. The beer has a half finger tall sudsy white head that quickly reduces to a very large patch of very thin film and a thin ring at the edges of the glass. Light amounts of lacing are observed.

S: Light to moderate aromas of biscuit malts and grassy hops with a lighter amount of grainy sweetness.

T: Upfront there are light to moderate flavors of biscuit malts with just a light touch of grainy sweetness. Light amounts of grassy hops that impart just a light amount of bitterness which fades pretty quickly.

M: Light to medium bodied with moderate amounts of carbonation. Slightly crisp.

O: I found this beer to be easy to drink and refreshing with a little more bitterness than others in the style (in a good way). I love the bottles and think more breweries should use bottles that close this way.
