in a bullet, gratis from the brewery yesterday after a tour - big thanks flat 12!
poured cold from the bullet a translucent sunlight yellow to gold to a lawson's finest liquid flared pilsner glass with a wisp of a short lasting white head.
aroma of grainy bread, and a bit of yeast.
cool, crisp, clean, easy drinking medium carbonation, light bodied. great springtime, summer beer. if it wasn't raining and i was cutting the grass, this is what i'd be thirsty for. as it stands, i'm inside and it's raining and it's still hits the spot.

So this beer is totally different from the one in the picture. When they changed owner they changed the beer and kept the name. The new version is a pilsner and it's really good. Definitely doesn't deserve such a low score. Check out the new beer.

When scouring the shelves for a nice, refreshing beer, this is my go to choice in the Indianapolis area. It's a Pilsner they way they are suppose to taste. It's got some nice flavor profiles and a light mouthfeel. Never again will a Miller Light be in my fridge, this is my new everyday beer.

This is what I call the classic "hate to rate" kind of beer. Not because it's a bad beer . . . It isn't by any means. It's just that it's rather boring. Even the color itself screams mediocre. Maybe a bit under par if anything and bland. Still though it has some decent things going for it. The most being it would really hit the spot on a hot summer afternoon.

16 ounce can, no canning date that I could find. Served in a pint glass, the beer pours a mostly clear straw gold color with about an inch frothy white head. Head retention and lacing are both good. Not much to the aroma, the brew smells mostly like sweet and bready malt, along with some light grassy hops. Taste is pretty much the same as the aroma, but there's also a bit of citrus peel flavor noticeable. To me it mostly just reminds me of a macro lager (but a little better). Mouthfeel/body is light, it's a crisp, easy drinking brew that's well carbonated. This would probably be good on a hotter day, but unfortunately it's not so good on a 10 degree January day. I'm a fan of Flat 12's other brews, but this one just doesn't do anything for me. If you can find a single it's worth trying, but at $9.99 a 4-pack I'd pass on this.
