Swift in body and mind, Cheetah sprints ever forward. A blur of pure instinct. Buena onda. Pure, crisp, clean. Blissful simplicity. Savor this moment. All we have and all we need is now. Feel free and therefore you are free.

Really solid lager on the lighter side. Super clean and crisp tasting. Would buy again.

Pours a translucent yellow/gold/amber. One finger of bright white head that dissipates quickly, no lacing. Beautiful upfall of tiny bubbles. On the nose, grassy, honeydew melon, lemon, grain, wet rocks. The taste is very clean and nicely-balanced with a welcoming blend of all the fragrances, plus a hint of orange and a not-offputting (actually enhancing) metallic note. No off notes at all. The mouthfeel is a tad thin, but this, along with its moderate carbonation, just adds to its overall crushability.
Overall: A mild, well-balanced, beautiful and easy-drinking beer, really hits its mark. A little jewel in the pantheon of crushers. Recommended.

12oz canned 03/21/23 (almost 4 months ago) consumed from a fridge temp can while grilling. Pale yellow from what I can tell. Aroma is mild, clean lager yeast and pale malt. The taste is mild pale malt with pleasant counteracting bitterness. Not a lot of distinct malt or hop flavor, yet enjoyable. Mouthfeel is thin bodied with average carbonation and a mostly dry finish. Cleanly lagered. Overall, excellent American lager.

Cheeta is a perfect Lager for tailgates, taproom sessions and pretty much everyday. I was lucky enough to enjoy this beautiful lager on tap at their on site taproom as well as take a 6 pack home and still enjoy it a week later.
