Look: ultralight very pale
Smell: like beans literally white navy
Maybe refried beans with a little bit of rendered fat
Taste: there is a sweet taste about it and the bean smell is going away... There's not much happening from a hop standpoint taste is a lot like a sweet corn malt... Kind of a kettle corn aroma and taste sweetness This isn't heavy barley maybe light Vienna with some adjunks. Not real heavy corn like a farmhouse ale but very light like white popcorn with sugar.
Overall: extremely drinkable Sweet without being very malty very palatable... Quick to swallow....
mouthfeel is thin and sweet... Neutral sugar... Bright carbonation... Gives you maybe a little fruit maybe a little orange but I don't think it's really hopped derrived... It's just residual sweetness and the only bitterness is of the CO2 that might be layering like orange seltzer
Overall: It's so drinkable it's so delicious is not malty it's not traditional It's just consumable... At 4.0 ABV perhaps all day sessional but maybe too boring for that unless you just love sweet. Definitely a college beer.
My scoring on this is quirky but for my specific reasons is justifiable.

Poured from a can into a pint glass. Pours golden yellow orange with a small white head. Smells of sweet cereal grain. Tastes of watery sweet grain. Beer is light bodied and easy drinking, good carbonation. Overall, an average beer.
