A bright, refreshing, super drinkable ale with a hint of citrus, Easy Sport is a perfect fit for an active lifestyle. Beginning with a clean, easy-drinking blonde ale recipe, we add electrolytes to an extended mash and boil to create a deliciously dry, beautifully balanced beer. At the end of fermentation, we add more electrolytes and a touch of tangerine peel, resulting in a slightly tart, subtly salty, all-natural, low calorie, carb-conscious beer.

12 oz can from 6 pack, best by 9/10/21, into Calusa snifter.
I bought these for the nights I don't want to drink at all but still have the nightly habit of sitting down with a beer. Like nicorette, right? Hoping to cut my nights per month in half, eventually.
99 Calories, 4.5g Carbs, 4.1% ABV.
Pours a transparent light straw color with some chill haze and a fingernail of white head.
Aroma is flour, dough, salt, and slight tangerine peel. Pretty empty.
Flavor is like if you popped a smarties and an aspirin in your mouth at the same time. Flour, salt, aspirin, smarties. Very empty. I get some supplemental notes of coriander, hints of dried orange peels from the packet, and a tart twist at the end. It's like a sour witbier, without wheat. Comes off like tart, crushed up aspirin.
Feel is crisp and carbonated, not much else to say, very empty here as well.
Overall, pretty sure even my worst brewing attempts weren't as bad as this. I understand this is a "low-everything" beer, but at this point, why? I wish I'd bought a single instead. I passed up on Bell's Light Hearted and the Boulevard 100 for this. Definitely won't scratch the itch on my "low/no drinking nights". Gonna have to try to stick to some low-cal IPAs instead.

The salt hits you more than the tangerine peel and I was hoping for the other way around. The salt also makes for a dry finish. Not bad not great. I guess you drink this after your marathon !

12oz can with a date
Look I can't comment on, I drank it out the can. Smells like hoppy seltzer. It's tasty, light, refreshing... just a great beer. Tastes great even after warming, can't say that for 90% of lighter craft beers. Tangerine and grapefruit over clean malt
I like it, lots

I thought it seemed like kind of a dumb concept but I was wrong. Easiest drinking beer I’ve had that is extremely light but has good flavor that makes you want to keep sipping. Can easily drink a sixer without feeling full. Overall if you want an extremely light easy drinking beer this is a good choice.

12oz can. Poured out a clear, golden color with a small, white head of foam. It smelled of caramel and grains with an odd mustiness. Sweet caramel and a weird aftertaste.
