12-oz bottle into Snow Cap nonic glass
A - 2 fingers of white quickly recede over an ever-so-slightly cloudy body of straw yellow
S - very slight grainy smell
T - light grainy taste, very mild grassy bitterness, hint of lemon; refreshing
M - light, medium carbonation
O - It is exactly what one might expect from the packaging; bland and boring.

Clear, golden color. Medium-sized, white head. Malt, citrus, and herbal hops in the aroma. Grainy, malty taste with moderate hoppy bitterness. Very decent pale lager.
