16 ounce can - $4.49 at Hop City in Atlanta, Georgia.
Appearance: Pours a nearly clear, pale yellow body with an inch of white suds.
Smell: Thin hints of grain, lightly sweet-scented cereal, minute herb and some citrusy, lightly fruity touches of lemon and lime.
Taste: A light-handed touch of pale malts glazed with a cereal sweetness. Zesty citrus, a thin measure of dried, spicy-minded herb. Lightly bitter. Drying finish, fairly crisp, fairly clean. Scant, fleeting grassiness lingering in the aftertaste.
Mouthfeel: Light-bodied. Medium carbonation.
Overall: Wickedly overpriced, though a nice lager.

Clear pale yellow with plenty of suds-- yes, I did accidentally pour it into a fancy chalice. Surprising malty taste. Hint of lemon. Smooth and totally drinkable with just a hint of bitterness. This is the sort of beer that the industrial brewers could be making if the creative beer trend keeps eating away at them.
For me, four percent is the benchmark for lower alcohol brews. It's the Utah limit for draft beer and supermarket sales, so there is a lot to taste and most of it not very inspiring. So this stuff makes a big impression for being so tasty and drinkable. From the 16 oz can purchased at Elizabeth Station in Bellingham, Wash.

this is an awesome little lager, collaboration with stillwater, who is releasing beers about as prolifically as anyone right now, fast and furious. its a hoppy lager, and everyone we shared this with really dug it. nice floral and citrus hop notes to it, light and crushable in feel, dry and well carbonated, with a very simple but fresh and flavorful grain base and an appreciably low alcohol content that lends itself to warm weather pounding. not every beer has to be a challenge or a pioneering effort, and both breweries involved in this one know a thing or two about pushing the envelope. its nice to see a rather basic beer from them, and its even nicer to see it so well executed. crisp and clean, but bitter and juicy too. it has just a prickly of tartness to it as well, not usually found in the style, and maybe a product of hops here rather than wild yeast, but it flatters the beer i think. i love that its in a pint can, 12 ounces of this wouldnt last very long at all. i wish i loaded up on this for the weekend, its the perfect beer for the first warm days of spring. weird can, yummy lager.
