A traditional Light American Lager with a crisp taste, a slight bite of American hops, a clean & refreshing finish. The perfect game day beer.

16 oz can. No date but clearly packaged and marketed toward Browns fans it’s better than most of the mass produced lagers out there but only barely. Good for throwing back a few on Sunday AM in the Muni lot. Woof woof

I left light lager beers like this behind, but every now and then...
a) 16oz can poured into a tulip. Pours light golden body with slight haze, fervent bubbles, decent but short lived head and no lace.
s) floral and hop notes, fresh baked bread, toasted grains.
t) Typical American ball lager, fresh grass, lots of grain, cleans up nicely with a hops hop.
f) Thinnish, but clean.
o) Take me out to the ball game kind of beer.

I got a can of this from my local Giant Eagle. It poured a clear golden with no head and no lace. The scent had faint grain notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with grain presence. The mouthfeel was lighter in body with good carbonation. Overall its a decent beer.

Had this on 2019-09-15 near Pittsburgh, PA from a 16oz canned on 2019-07-15 and again on 2022-05-14 in Lebanon Junction, KY
A - Clear straw-gold with a 1-finger white head and decent lace
S - Pils malt with a touch of corn. Mild honey, grass and floral
T - Lightly-toasted sourdough bread, light lemon, grassy spice. Touch of light bitterness in the dry finish (IBU listed as 9.9). Not as sweet as I expected from the smell.
M - Light-medium body and medium carbonation. Crisp.
O - An easy-drinkin' brew although I could have used a little more sweetness, which is something I like in my low ABV lagers.
