Straw yellow in color with a light haziness. There's basically just a fingernail of off white about an inch long in one corner of the glass. The aroma is of corn and faintly grassy hops, but mostly corn. I'm tasting a nice blend of corn and grassy hops. The mouth is very light and quaffable.

Poured into a glass lager mug, looks of a straw (piss) yellow.
Smells like a cheap lager, but sweeter.
Tastes like a cheap macro lager, but with a bland corn flavor to it.
Feels and drinks smooth, mild carbonation.

Better than most cheap American Lager's, but nothing fantastic either.

Based on what it is, it's not too shabby. It's not really a "craft" beer per se, but it's MILES AHEAD of the macro-mass produced beers. Also, I'm not sure where others get the corn smell.. There's no adjunct in this beer.

It pours a little paler than I expected; even for a pale lager. Big fizzy head, true to the style, fizzes away in a few minutes, but leaves a decent bit of lacing on the glass.

Smells quite pleasant. No corny adjuncty smell here. I smell a fairly malt forward scent, with a mild hoppy background.

Tasting was interesting. It teases you upfront like a light beer; light malt flavor, somewhat watery, but then hits on the finish with a heavier malt and hops taste. Nice bitter hop aftertaste.

The feel was light, crisp and refreshing. A great beer for fishing, boating, or backyard cookouts.

Overall, definitely a must, especially if you love the pale lager style.
