Crisp, clean, American-style lager. Golden and carbonated with a gentle hop flavor.

7/4...sampler tasting. Pours gold, white foam, clear. Lightly aromatic, malty sweet taste. Some citrus. Firm carbonation for a lager. Very smooth, easy drinker. Nice leadoff to the taster.

On tap at Market Street Brewing Company in Corning, NY.
Pours a golden straw yellow, with a half inch head, and a little bit of lacing.
Smells like a typical lager, a bit of skunk, some lager yeast, and sugar.
This one's ok, a bit of a step above BMC, but not much. Fairly sweet, and slightly skunky flavor, with the typical lager yeast flavors, and a bit of crackery malt. Very boring, but at least refreshing. Way too sweet.
This one is very light bodied, with a slightly syrupy mouthfeel, and a medium amount of carbonation.
Tone down the sweetness and this one would be improved.

Pours a deep clear golden color with a stingy white head that shows a lack of retention. Smell is sweet grainy malt with a touch of honey like sweetness. Yup smells like a macro lager only a hint sweeter. The taste follows the aroma fairly well. Medium body and carbonation level, slick watery mouthfeel. Decent lager, better than the macros, but not outstanding.

A nice pale golden color with white foamy head.
In the nose is a sour yeast that I detect in all their brews.
This one tasted crisp and clean with a nice mouthfeel. A very decent lager, not great but good. Very drinkable. More flavor than the mainstream, but not as much as a Sierra Nevada Summerfest.

The beer pours a pale gold color with a 1/2" white head that fades to lacing. The aroma is decent. It has a light pilsner malt and hop scent that's a bit dry, yet refreshing. The taste is decent. It has a smooth pilsner malt flavor, nothing much else. The hops are light and it has a grainy, dry finish. The mouthfeel is fine. It is a low bodied beer with adequate carbonation. This is a decent lager. It's not bursting with character, but it's not offensive and it drinks quite well.

Malty aroma, lacey, fresh, yellow colour. Above average carbonation. Quality for a doomed style, from a ratings viewpoint. Only faint hop, and IBU 12. Sugary and really malty taste. Average mouthfeel.Probably their weakest beer in an average overall lineup.
