Poured from 12oz bottle into a Pilsner glass.
Appearance: light, pale golden hue with a crystal-clear body and tons of apparent effervescence. Head is two fingers of pillowy white foam. OK.
Smell: light aroma of grain and plastic. I'm very much not impressed.
Taste: better than the aroma, I'm glad to say, but not significantly. There is slightly more malt flavor than grain, though there is some adjunct flavor as well (corn, I'm thinking). There actually appear to be some hops here, but sadly the plastic character is still present. Could be worse, but could be a whole lot better.
Mouthfeel: light body with an OK level of carbonation. Light though it may be, it's actually got a better body than a lot of beers of this style. Not too bad.
Drinkability: this beer is a middle-of-the-road adjunct. It's light and refreshing, but the weird plasticy character is not something I like. Eh.

Golden in color with a decent head and lace.
Aroma was of grains and light malt with light hops.
Taste was sweet grains with some hops.
feel of it was light, easy to drink with a medium carbonation.
Not offensive and better than Corona beer and many others including Budweiser.
Low ABV and a good beach beer.

11.5 oz bottle enjoy by date 3/14/24 into a tulip glass.
L: Pours clear rich golden caramel with a thin fizzy off white head, low head retention, minimal lacing.
S: A hint of bread, lightly floral, background lighter fruits, pastry dough.
T: Gently sweet dirty grains, grassy hops, very light fruit notes, a hint of fruit zest and the back end of the finish and has a very light aftertaste of white grape.
F: Average, thin and medium-light bodied feel with a lightly assertive center and a fast drying finish.
O: European in style and slightly dry. Drinks easily and is gently sweet. Good balance and brewery touts natural ingredients. It's Okay in its style.

Bottle pour into a tulip glass.
Clear golden appearance with a modest soapy head that recedes quickly to a surface film and collar. Celery, pepper, metallic notes. Light body, light carbonation.

340mL bottle best before 11/05/23, so either 6 months from now or two weeks ago...
The beer pours bright light golden amber with off white head. The head recedes to a pencil thin ring and island. No lacing. The aroma is mild with sweet grain. The taste is semisweet pale malt with a hint of corny / vegetable flavor. Moderate bitterness. The mouthfeel is thin bodied with just above average carbonation and a mostly dry finish. Overall, good.

Fizzy, kinda sweet and malty whiz, but when sitting at an Argentinian restaurant with a plate full of ‘comida’, it somehow works. Nothing I’d put a sixer in the fridge of though.,.
