Looks like beer . . . Smells like beer . . . Tastes like beer . . . it’s BEER. Our aptly named lager is light in body but substantial enough in flavor to let you know that yes . . . You are drinking beer. Yeah BEER!

Poured into a Squatters true pint glass a pretty nice clean/clear golden pale yellow color, pretty nice carbonation, with a pretty nice thick/creamy one-finger plus white head, which leaves some pretty nice sticky lacing behind. The nose is malty, some hops, kinda citrusy. The taste is pretty nice, malty, hoppy, citrusy, nice little sweetness. Medium body, ABV hidden very well, nice little dry/bitter finish. Overall, a very tasty brew. True to style. Nice thirst quencher. Great with pizza.

A clear gold color with a small white head and a bit of lace.
Aroma of corn, sweet malt, and grassy/floral hops.
Taste follows the nose.
Crisp finish. Very welcome after walking the dogs on a hot day that's getting hotter.

Had on tap. Clear golden body with a huge eggshell white head and lacing. Corn, cereal malt, faint yeast and grassy hops in both the smell and taste, indeed this is beer. Crisp, good carb level, malt forward, smooth and appropriately thin. Goes down easy in the New Mexican sun without any bloating.

A chill haze clears up to pale straw yellow with a short white head settling to a dense blanket with a curled ridge that retains well.
Crisp, clean and lightly herbal, corny malt also abuts a touch of heart of romaine.
Nearly reaching pilsner heights without being so definitive, it's definitely not your Coors or Bud Lite clone, as it's not nearly as watery and flavorless.

This simple and unassuming lager with a hint of lime surprised us with its crushability. It would be a perfect choice to include on your next river or beach trip.
