Pours straw gold, partly cloudy with thick white head that dissipates quickly with some thin lace. Aroma is nothing special. corn, grain and a hint of sweetness. Taste is bready with some lemon zestiness, feel is crisp and finish is dry and smooth. Moderate carbonation. Easy to drink, this is a pleasant, classic lager.

Pours clear light yellow color with a 1-2 finger thick foamy white head that faded in average time, leaving minimal lacing. Smells like corn, German floral hops, vegetables, grain, a hint of caramel and a mild sweetness. Tastes basically like it smells but with dry grass, some yeast and mild lemon zest. It’s crisp with no real bitterness and quite crushable.

The name says it all - good crispness, not hoppy at all, grainy but in a good way - all things i like in a beer. Very sessionable. Feels like this would be a good lawn mowing beer.

Appearance: Well this pours a clear golden with a solid three fingers worth of frothy goodness.
Aroma: Grassy, grain notes, a slightly bready, floral dry hop with very faint citrus notes.
Taste: Only a little bit crisp on the pallet. Faint citrus, grain with some light dryness.
Overall: If you would like something for a hot summer day this is a great way to go. Simple and no frills. Prost.

Poured out into a clear pint glass and it was a golden yellow color. It was a bit hazy with a small white head.
The smell was a Belgian-style wheatiness.
The taste was like a Lager should be. It was okay.

Interesting one. Had it yesterday and didn't really "feel" it. Today it's better. I don't know that I drink anything by Captain lawrence albeit they're local. This is not bad. Today. Grain, moreso than malt. A good bit of Lemon int he hop character. I could talk about the rest of it, but it's sort of to style, beyond those mentions.
I will say, price point was good, like 4 pack for 9 bucks or so. Not a bad bevvy, but I will say, there's a lot of good, affordable lager in this region.
Worth say - I bought this off the shelf and the can is exactly as you see here, literally no information. Classic Lager. It could be anything. I definitely did NOT know it was adjuncted, and maybe that's why I think of it as, at best, not bad. Just not a style I would want to buy, I'd rather buy relatively fresh German import lager and save a buck :P

Surprisingly cloudy giving the liquid. Decent head which leaves a single ring and subsequent streaks on the glass.
Clean but nearly imperceptible smell. No distractions.
Very thin and bubbly as to be expected. More grainy than malty. Light hop in the swallow but the aftertaste is mostly grain. In short, it is what it intends to be.

Tall can from the source in Elmsford, NY
Pours light straw amber, with a light level of haze.
Light and refreshing straw infused nose.
More straw, light grassiness and and some crackery malts.....light and refreshing...would be great with some spiced up tropical eats.....quality lager

Clear light gold appearance
Body is about medium with the same for carbonation.
Aroma is citrus, citrus seed, citrus peel,malt, cereal followed with some grain.
Taste is very similar to aroma with the cereal and citrus peel lingering in the aftertaste.
Overall its a very enjoyable lager that worked great with food. I would look for this again.
