12oz can at Wright's BBQ. Poured a clear, golden color with a small, white head of foam. It left thin lacing. It smelled of bready malt, toffee and floral notes. Sweet caramel taste with bready malt and a mild bitterness.

This is a 12 oz cellar temp can poured into my .5L dimple mug. No date stamp on can or label.
The beer pours a bright clear gold with some spongey bleached white head of .5cm. The foam fades to a wispy edge layer pretty quickly after the beer is poured.
the aroma is some grainy malt and a little general sweetness. there is a small bit of grassy hops, but the nose is mild overall, clean though.
First sip reveals a light body and very fine tingly carbonation. Texture is thin and smooth, very easy to drink.
Flavor is a bit sweet up front and some grainy cereal note and faint spicy hop note. But the lingering flavor is the general sweetness.
This is a pretty straightforward beer that checks the boxes for the style. Glad to have tried this one.

Nothing impressive. Mild smell, taste, and feel. Slightly citrusy hops at first but loses all flavor halfway through.
Had on draft at the local baseball game and was better on draft than the can, but still was hard to finish.
1st half of the beer is a solid 3.5, second half dropped the score to 2.5 for me.

Middle of the road American lager in the style of Budweiser....
Ice cold this would be ok around the pool...that being said, it's more expensive than Budweiser which it's trying to mimic so I know which one I would choose...
Very pedestrian and rather boring....there's just not enough to keep me interested here...
Slightly sour finish...just sort of less than ordinary...

Picked this up on my trip while passing through the Natural State at - where else - a Walmart since they're in nearly every town there. Didn't expect much from a Lager from Dixie but sure enough, this was pretty enjoyable and certainly better than the Macro examples of this style that tend to flood shelves across this country.
However, this was clear and straw like those more popular examples of the style as the head was minimal and the carbonation not as present as only a few streams of tiny bubbles could be seen in the liquid from the get-go. Part malt, plenty hops, and capped off with subtle sweetness, this felt as much as Cream Ale as a Lager and that was true once I took a few sips of this. Yes, there's grain, bread, and a bit of earthiness here but gosh, it's so refreshing to have an Adjunct Lager without the...adjunct! Good luck finding much of any corn or rice here as this was clean, crisp, with a hint of mineral water and stickiness in the aftertaste that allowed this to stand out from it's BMC counterparts.
Some cracker and grass came through in the back and aftertaste but darn, this would have been easier to review on here had it actually been able to stay in my glass. Yeah, this was hard to pace myself through as I enjoyed it an didn't feel the alcohol in it at all. Thank God I have a few cans left that made it home with me as I look forward to having this again. Even without a date on the bottom, this felt fresh and the label was as stylish and appropriate for this beer and brewery as could be. This deserves to be rated higher in it's category on here as this was a clear winner that would be great year-round, and maybe even good enough to redefine the style. Glad I picked this up on the road!

Poured from a can. Straw in color with a white head and lacing. Smells of malt, grain and a hint of sweetness. Taste follows the smell, very smooth and enjoyable.

Appearance:
Pours up to a creamy head that falls to thin layer and minimal lacing. Clear medium yellow.
Aroma:
Low clean malt and low hops, which smell of lemongrass. Not corny or adjuncty.
Flavor:
Crisp and dry with low grainy malt upfront with an easygoing counterbalance of soft noble hop bitterness.
Mouthfeel:
Light mouthfeel, CO2 is nominal. Very slight astringency but not bothersome.
Overall:
A solid easy drinker. Don't know whether or not this was categorized correctly. It is not a German Pils, but not a typical AAL either. Good job!
