look: 4 | smell: 2.5 | taste: 3 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5

A: Pours a crystal clear light golden yellow in color with significant amounts of visible carbonation. The beer has a finger tall fizzy white head that reduces and condenses to a thick layer covering the entire surface of the beer. Significant lacing is observed.

S: There are light to moderate aromas of pale malts, grain, corn, and grassy hops. The smell is slightly on the sweet side.

T: The beer had a pleasant flavor of pale malts, bready malts, and just a hint of grassy hops giving the beer a subtle amount of bitterness. As you got further into the beer, the sweetness of the adjunct malts started to show up (not overpowering or cloying in the sweetness but rather a light sweetness) from the grain and corn.

M: Light to medium bodied with moderate to heavy amounts of carbonation. Crisp.

O: This is a very easy to drink and quite sessionable beer that matched very well with the spicy Latin American food that I had. I could easily have a couple of these beers and they were quite refreshing on a warm late spring evening.

look: 3 | smell: 3 | taste: 2.5 | feel: 2.75 | overall: 2.75

Appearance: Clear dark-golden body with a massive, moderately coarse white head. Broken lacing adorns the glass walls, while columns of fine, fast-rising carbonation surge to the surface.

Aroma: Bread and cracker malt contrasts nicely with pleasant grassy hops, and a slight mineral note. Despite the green bottle, skunk aromas are largely absent.

Taste: Opens with a modest grain and cereal note, with grassy hops, and a slight soured hay note. AS the taste progresses, there is a moderate tanginess, which contrasts well with the malt. Finishes with a mild, steely hop flavor.

Mouth feel: A bit thin, with slightly stinging carbonation.

Drinkability/notes: Not bad, really, it is probably very refreshing in an island clime, but in all, neither outstanding, nor offensive.

Presentation: Packaged in a twenty-two ounce green glass bomber with a pry-off crown, served in a New Belgium Brewing chalice.

I had this on-tap, in bottles, and cans all while in the Dominican Republic. It tastes pretty close to Bud Light or Miller Light, which is to say, not bad for a day at the beach/pool, but not something you drink for its flavor. Its light on the alcohol so you can definitely enjoy a good amount of em and it doesn't really do you in. I enjoyed it because I was out in the sun and it didn't dehydrate me quite as much as heavier stuff. You know what youre getting into with a beer like this.
