Temperance Beer Co. Basement Party poured a cloudy light-golden color. Atop sat a 1-finger head that dissipated quickly with no lacing to speak of. The nose and taste are very similar – both light, grassy, and bready. Mouthfeel is crisp and clean.
Overall, just easy drinking and a little disappointing.

Canned 9/19/24; drank 11/1/24 @ the Yarchives.
Semi-opaque pale yellow appearance.
A rough pour yielded a small, noisy white head which quickly dissipated; no lacing remained.
Corn, rice & wheat notes in the nose.
Syrup-y medium mouthfeel.
Corn syrup & rice flavors.
This aims for macro & attains the bottom rung. Not for me.

On tap at Old Town Pour House, Naperville, IL; served in a 5-ounce tasting glass. Pale golden color, with a white head and lovely carbonation that had streams of bubbles flowing from start to finish and leaving pretty lacing clinging to the side of the glass. Want beer-flavored beer? This is it. A little dark bread, grassy and herbal hop notes, good bitterness, and a clean finish. Great pairing with meaty chili. Highly recommended.

12oz can from May poured into a pint glass shows a cloudy, pale yellow with bubbles rising to a rapidly disipating head of mixed white bubbles leaving a mostly clean glass behind.
Grassy aroma with a slight note of white bread matches the taste.
Clean, crisp feel that falls off to nothing.
Overall an easy drinker for the golf cart.

Looks kinda pissy, grassy aroma and taste. Thin , watered down and crushable. I think this will be a great summer beer when I'm out drownin' worms! Cheers!

A bit hazy and light colored for a Lager. Has an odd cantaloupe smell, almost grape juice like aroma. The initial taste was not great, but it grew on me. It was almost white wine tasting, which isn’t bad, but this beer bears no resemblance to any lager I’ve had. No date, so no clue how old it is. It’s dry, but not crisp like a lager.
This beer is not great, or is it? I didn’t want to drink it after my first taste, but it sure is interesting. It doesn’t fit into a category. Oddly enough the taste reminds me of a light version of DFH Midas Touch. I’m glad I only grabbed a single, but I would try it again if I ever see it.

Sampled in a taster glass from draught at Firkin on August 23, 2019. Uncomplicated, unfiltered and down for whatever. Easy-drinking and exceedingly refreshing.
