12oz can inked "02/05/23 12:18:39" on the bottom which I can only surmise is a 'best by' date as I bought this in a mixed six in January.
Clear, orangish gold body with active rising bubbles briefly floats a soapy 1" head of thinning foam and a clean glass remains.
Muted aromas of band-aid and biscuit malt flow into the taste. Slight toasted malt note if I search.
Mouthfeel is light and slightly sharp, maybe over carbonated(?) With a brief tongue tingling before finishing cleanly.
Overall a very okay beer. This won't hurt anyone and can be consumed in some quantity.

I got a mixed 12pck of Shiners cans from my local meijer store. It poured a clear amber with very thin white ring head that is not leaving any lace. The scent had subtle malt notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with very nice light malt base with subtle bittering hop finish. The mouthfeel was lighter in body with good carbonation. Overall it is a great beer.

Appearance: My, just look at that orange-amber hue with a crystal clear appearance. Brief, ivory head.
Smell: A simple, humble note of lightly toasted breadcrusts.
Taste: Mild taste of toast with a little sprinkling of table sugar. Splash of caramel soda. Very, very, very faint hint of herbal-toned hops.
Mouthfeel: Light-bodied. Medium carbonation.
Overall: There's not a lot going on, not much to it, but it's certainly easy-drinking.

12oz can. Poured out a clear, golden orange color with a small, khaki-colored head of foam. It left sudsy trails of lace on the glass. It smelled of toasted caramel, toffee and some grains. Nice toasty taste with caramel, toffee and mild bitterness.

Poured from a 12 oz.can. Has a caramel color with a 1/2 inch head. Smell is of toasted malts. Taste is caramel malts, light grains, just a touch on the sweet side. Feels medium bodied in the mouth and overall is a highly refreshing and pretty good beer.

"Best by 3/7/22"; drank 12/19/21 @ the Yarchives.
See-through orange appearance.
A violent pour yielded a huge, noisy khaki head; frothy tree-rung lace.
Oak, roasted corn, mild caramel & faint citrus notes in the nose.
Creamy medium mouthfeel.
Cream, oak, roasted corn & faint citrus flavors.
More robust than I was expecting, and overall pleasant. I'd have another!

A decent amber. Not tasting too much of the toasted part of it, but this is a decent beer
