A crisp American Lager brewed with Maine-sourced Pilsner malts and malted New England-grown corn. Light, crushable, and effervescent; the sparkling wine of beers

So, standard ratings aren't going to do this beer justice so I'm just going to hack the overall to make my clear point.
This isn't a fascinating, intricate beer. There's not layers of mouthfeel and coriander notes. It doesn't have a super-impressive head or dank juiciness. There's almost no smell. It looks light.
But what it is, is a light beer. 4% ABV. Just got done mowing the lawn on a 95 degree day at 2PM? This is your beer. Hanging out outside all day with the family and are looking to crush some beers? A four-pack of this won't leave you a mess. Smashed your PR out on your afternoon run? This beer is what you need. It's effervescent, great (but very light) beer taste, and they pulled off the difficult trick of not having off-flavors that need to be hidden with hops.
Imagine a PBR or a Bud Light that was actually good. No funk or gasoline aftertaste. Just... good.
Are you in a lemonade situation but want a beer? This is your beer.
Enjoy.

Light fizzy head with med lower retention, touch of lacing, mostly clear slight hazy straw color
Nose big raw cereal dough lager malt, grainy sweet pilsner malt, nice malt depth possible some decoction, med to lighter herbal floral hop
Taste brings more cereal grainy sweet malt, rich doughy lager malt and grainy sweet pilsner, more decoction malt depth, light bitterness with med to lighter herbal grassy floral hop, soft lager, dry mild crisp bitterness finish
Mouth is med to a bit lighter bod, med frothy carb, soft lager
Overall very good, really good lager, not quite as hoppy as I expected for an American lager, but for maybe bohemian lager or even Helles this was great
