Pale, golden color.Big, white head. Corn and grains in the aroma. Light, malty taste with a moderate hoppy bitterness at the end. Nice thirst-quencher, would be a good fit for summer.

Can from the brewery in Brooklyn. Pours a mostly clear very light gold with two fingers of rocky three head that sticks around, nice lacing, smell is corn, biscuits, mildly nutty/roasted malts, hints of funky wheat, taste is corn flakes, crackers, mildly sweet and nutty/toasted malts, hint of sour funky wheat, feel is light, medium carbonation. A well executed corn based lager, quite crushable.

Drank from the can. Burnt creamed corn aroma. This continues to the taste, where it’s coupled with some peanut and some light cut grass. Medium bodied with strong, soft fizz. Much worse than any mass produced American Light Lager, but at a way higher price. Hard pass.

This one pours a very clear golden yellow color, with a small head, and lots of lacing.

This smells like corn, light graininess, lemon rind, tea, and light citrus.

This is really quite good. It's simultaneously very light but with loads of flavor packed in - crispy malt, some light sweet grain, a touch of tea-like bitterness. some lemon and citrus, all that.

This is just unbelievably drinkable, with a super crisp feel, and a very smooth finish with a light bite.

Only Threes would do a light lager as their anniversary beer, but of course they did it well.
