I got a can of this beer from my good friend and old neighbor from the 'Wego. It poured a clear golden with thin white ring head that is not leaving any lace. Scent had subtle grain notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with crisp malt base with grain presence. The mouthfeel was lighter in body with good carbonation. Overall it is a great beer.

Pours a clear pale golden color with a sudsy white head that provides significant lacing. Looks great in the glass.
The nose features lots of cereal grain and a bit of grass, which is exactly where the taste lands, finishing with a crisp, clean mouthfeel. Very nice summer crusher.

On tap at the Hilltop Tavern - 2nd place in trivia. Solid crushable second beer.

Poured cold from 12-ounce can into a stemless wine glass. Clear light golden color, with an evanescent soap-sudsy white head. This beer is excellent. It has a nice depth of malty flavor, a bitter hop kick, good carbonation start to finish, and a clean and crisp finish with no off flavors. This made for an excellent pairing with fried chicken wings, but don't stop there. Instead of an insipid macro lager, pick up a pack of this and kick your next barbecue up a notch. You won't be sorry!

Aroma is malts/slightly husky and mild sweetness/big fruit. The flavor light citrus, husky malts and a slight bitter hop/mildly sweet fruit/mostly smooth finish.
