Dry, bubbly, drinkable, and undeniably refreshing. Built to be enjoyed in our wonderfully tropical paradise, this American Premium Lager is brewed with a blend of malted barley, flaked corn, and US grown Mount Hood hops.

Aroma is grainy malts and a hint of citrus zest. The flavor is grainy malts and a mix of mild/medium sweetness and slightly bitter hop/citrus zest in the finish.

The voluminous white, loose head lasts less than a minute. No lacing. The remaining liquid is pale yellow. But the flavor and mouthfeel are much better. Corn and grain dominate the taste. Mild carbonation, body on the thin side, but Crisp and clean finish.

Nothing special. If I wanted to go out with friends that weren't big fans of craft beer, I'd probably recommend this one to them.

A fairly transparent shade of pale straw. Not much of a smell, malty with barley notes. Taste matches the smell, a mild sweetness accompanying the malted barley with a tasty corny atmosphere. It feels dry and bubbly as advertised. So light and crisp one wonders if the last sip was perhaps imagined. A very solid offering, would be great for sitting outside under the sun.

Let's be honest. Tampa Bay is a hot place and when it is hot a light lager just hits that spot. And this beer, for me, hits all of the right spots: refreshing, smooth with absolutely no after taste. This is a great beer to introduce to folks who aren't into craft beer but like the Buds, Coors and Millers. This beer is like Folgers vs Starbucks.

In my attempt to drink more lagers, I come across this tasty entrant...
When finding a lager, I'm looking for something that looks unique, smells different that your run-of-the-mill lager, isn't so heavily carbonated, tastes more than wheaty, and is just an overall good experience. Well, this checks three out of four boxes (or pull-down menus as the case may be.) The look is not a very appealing color of pale yellow and overall, it's solid enough, but I did enjoy the sweet and tangy smell, I did enjoy a well-carbonated beer - but crisp, very crisp - and the taste was unique - very rich in malty flavor without being an also ran. Lagers may be the forgotten style, but I still like to try 'em as I find them...

Wow. Absolutely love this beer. Perfectly light, crisp, and bubbly lager. They say the Prosecco of Beer and that is very accurate. Just right for a warm Florida afternoon.

Pretty average. Rather buy cheap beer that tastes about the same.

There is no date on the can. The pour is golden yellow. The taste is of white cracker, bready malts, corn & a slight white pepper note. It's an okay lager but I've had better. Cheers! B-
