An aggresive pour of this beer produces a thin spittle pillow that quickly evaporates to give a clear view of the hazy, urine-colored beer below. Big carbonation bubbles cling curiously to the sides of my glass. Aroma is nothing but the faintest hint of apple.

The taste wieghs on the tounge despite the slightly watery mouthfeel of the beer. It tastes mostly of jimica with an assertive bitterness that eases in and out. What really makes this beer stand out however, is an intensely crisp finish that almost compares to Grolsch or Hienekin. There is a Wonderbready aftertaste. I noted a cheesey off-flavor on some sips.

The mouthfeel is a billion carbonation bubbles rebounding off your tounge like a tennis ball hit against a wall. Drinkability is rated high due to what I call "the potato chip effect". You know it is not good for you, you feel gross after having your fill, and it isn't really even that tasty, yet what you are ingesting is so unsubstantial you think nothing of popping one after another.

Medium sized pure white head quickly falls into a pretty decent lacing above a clear straw golden colored beer.

Light bitter hops and sour grain malt aroma.

Light grain malt taste with added light hops, pretty much the same thing as Bud Light, etc.

A very light sourness in a lightly dry aftertaste on this light bodied beer.

Blah, another light American lager, why when there is so much more out there to be made.

A thin off-white head dissipates quickly above the straw colored brew. There's no lacing to speak of. Aroma involves grain, grass and some faint sweet malts. Tastes of rice and malts. Very light bodied and dry. Not a whole lot going on, but could be worse. I could have a couple.

12oz bottle poured into a small stemmed pilsner glass. Pours a honey-gold, with a big, frothy, white head on top. Great retention. Mild citrus, dry grains, smack of lemon the finish. Crisp, clean mouth feel wets the palate. Not too slick. Really fresh beer. I love the flavor on this one! Fresh crisp bitterness, lemon, lime rind, grassy notes - really a "green" beer. I like this one a lot. This is an adjunct? For reals? I thought this had a lot of pilsner character with the sharp pale citrus, hop presence, and crisp feel. If this is an adjunct, this is one of the best out there. I would stock and restock the fridge with this beer. I'll be getting this one again when I'm back in WI.
