500ml Can - It's been a few years since I last tasted this but had 1 recently. Pours a pale straw colour with a 2 finger white foam head. Bready malt and earthy aroma, otherwise metallic. Taste follows the aroma with a gentle sweet finish. Overall, it's fairly underwhelming but drinkable.

11.2oz bottle. Code on label is 'L3018GG003 17:02'.
Clear, pale gold colored body. Long lasting white pillow head. Leaves behind partial walls of lacing.
Aroma is bread dough, grass, and hay.
Taste is toasted bread, mineral, and grassy hops.
Medium mouth feel. Light spice. Somewhat crisp finish. Excellent carbonation.
Light tasting lager that alleviates your thirst.

Surprised I never logged this one before. Clear and foamy, very light scent of sweet grain. The name of the game here is 'light' - but there's still a decent amount of taste lurking in there, sweet and crisp with a bite... malt and grass and solid lager flavor that doesn't taste like the juice at the bottom of the trashcan liner

Delicious!
Crisp and refreshing!
A rarity on the west coast that I happened to run into at trader Joe's.
I encourage those who can't appreciate it stick to fruity double hop ipas.

Crisp and clean, but its just the most average lager imaginable. It would be impossible to discern this beer from bud lite, coors, miller, etc in a blind taste test.

Looked pretty good on arrival from the tap and disappointed from that point on. I would only drink this beer again if there was nothing else to drink. No aroma, no taste and a dish water finish.

Clear gold appearance with a small white head. Modestly hopped biscuit-like aroma. Light bodied, highly carbonated mouthfeel. Mild, flowery, malty taste. Can you spell mediocre?

Had on draught and in can. Very surprised. Far superior to Heineken and budweiser.

Look - 11.2 fl oz bottle poured into a small Euro lager glass. light golden in color, clear, and a bubbly head that mostly dissipates, leaving behind little to no lacing.

Smell - light malts and some lemon, but quite subtle overall.

Taste - malt balanced by a tad bit of hoppiness, more so than nexpected from the smell. a bit of lemon acidity in the middle, and a clean finish.

Feel - light bodied, high carbonation, and low ABV at 4.5%

Overall - light in color and also flavor. it's fine and better than an adjunct lager as it has a bit more character, but otherwise nothing to write home about.
