Found this one on clearence, now I know why. Poured a pale canary color with not much hue or liveliness. Smell was weak with some mild lemon like notes and futile malts. Taste was a total surpirse! Came through with mild malt depth and a decent cereal graininess that was balanced by some spicey hops. That came out of no where and warrented not judging a book by its cover. This complimented the burger I was eating well and brought out the flavors in the meat and condiments. Who would have thought?

Pours a crystal clear, well carbonated medium gold, topped with a two finger puffy stark white head, leaves temporary webs of lacing.
Corn husk, cooked vegetable aroma, grain, grassy hop, lime and lemon zest.
Grainy taste with a touch of lemon, an odd off taste, lots of lemon/lime.
It's light and crisp. This would rate a solid 4.5/5 compared to something like corona.

12ozer purchased as a single from the Spirit Haus, Amherst, MA, apparently another brew from the "limited brewer's offering," as noted on the somewhat generic label.

Poured into an imperial pint glass, formed a lively 2" bright white head on top of a crystal clear straw-hued brew. Head hung around for quite some time, and laced well. Little to no aroma, what there was consisted of just a light generic "beer" smell. Wow, surprised by the depth of malt flavor for such a light colored brew. The sweetness if then tempered by a slight hops bite, giving it a crisp finish. For the style, mouthfeel was superb, and drinkability was too. Pleasantly shocked by what I figured was to be a Corona taste-alike (although why a brewer would do that, I know not), and it makes for a great hot day thirst-quencher. Try it if you find it.
