12 oz can, best by 2023-10-29. Mostly clear pale orange-hued golden color with a small fizzy white head. Corn adjunct and hay aroma. Taste follows: corn, clean malt, some German pilsner-like mild bitterness. Medium body has some chewiness to it.

"Best by 10/13/22"; drank 6/25/22 @ the Yarchives.
See-through pale yellow/orange appearance.
A rough pour yielded a big off-white head; decent tree-rung lace.
Fresh corn & dry cracker notes in the nose.
The mouthfeel isn't thick or thin, but in the middle.
Mild flavors of caramel & fresh corn up front; a dry wheat bite on the finish.
Easy to drink but not thin or forgettable; I liked this one.
