look: 4 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 3.5
Medium body and carbonation. Aroma was cittus,grain, and malt. Taste had a bitterness to it that seemed to mask everything else. It's an ok beer but I probably would have enjoyed it more had they not cranked up the bitterness

This is a very drinkable easy summer beer. Crisp and light, not sweet or sugary. As advertised, nice for sitting on the porch cooling off after mowing the lawn.

Bottle to pilsner glass.
Bland lager. Hay, grass.
A little soapy, a hint of sour.
Not really enjoyable.

crisp, but too dark to be considered a summer lager, more of a pilsner, nice feel though. A taste that stays a while.
