Easily the best light beer I've ever had. I don't know how they snuck so much flavor and body into a 99 calorie and 3g of carb package. Amazing example of brewing. Absolutely going back to buy more.

Great mouthfeel, easy drinking and refreshing with a surprising amount of body for a light lager.

Shockingly delicious light lager, it caught me completely by surprise. Easily one of the best in the category I’ve ever consumed, and I’ve consumed quite a few.

Pours a beautiful crystal clear gold, big white head; above average retention, especially considering the style and ABV, great clings of lacing from initial pour; swirling brings back a nice head and subsequent more lace.

Nose is light lager but clean; pleasant light sweetness, with light toasted character with subtle pleasant herbal undertones; this beer’s aroma is very pleasing to me.

Taste is lightly sweet, there isn’t much depth in terms of malt which is to be expected but much like the nose there is light toasty character with dry grassy hops on the finish, again subtle but noticeable.

Body is light, effervescent yet very smooth carbonation; a light residual sweetness dries out quite quickly on the finish, there is a low bitterness as well.

12 oz. can. An outstanding light lager. The lemon zest addition balances out the weak malt taste these beers usually have. I could drink this all summer. The 4% abv is welcome as well. A nice, easy drink.
