From a 12 oz can into a bulky tulip/schooner type glass. A darker deeper gold color, not super clear and kind of cloudy, lots of bubbles, 1 finger head that subsides after a minute and little lacing. Nose has some sweet graininess and some corn (I've not spent time in the south and have had grits once in my life, so...not sure what I'm looking for here), as well as some faint noble hops, but it pulls up short somehow and I can't get a very full sense. On the taste and mouthful, it is actually pretty substantial given the low abv, there's a liveliness on the mouthful, and in terms of taste, the corn and grain continue, but there's also an almost sour edge to it. Glad I tried it...its a little different, and ok.

L- Looks like a pretty standard lager...golden color, not cloudy, minimal head
S- Pretty run of the mill, nothing of note
T- Actually beer than expected. I'm almost exclusively Imperial stouts and porters, so a lager to me is serious ho hum
F- Light and crisp
O- Not bad, if I had to choose a lager, this one would work
