From Notes
Appearance: A body I note as just barely brass yellow that made a single finger of head that retained but produced no lace.
Smell: Straw, herb and a slight swamp note (which given it's a can is a bit odd). It didn't need to warm to achieve potency but it's not that complex or particularly inviting.
Taste: Straw malt with a hint of biscuit and a herbal taste that ends with a floral (specifically Orchid) note before finishing off with bitter earth and a swampy note.
Mouthfeel: Carbonation is good, as is the transitioning but the end note, while mostly clean, carries the swampiness into the aftertastes. For a slight beer, it's something of a kick I guess, as a full on Pilsner, not really desired.
Drinkability: Glug, Glug, Glug. Extremely light bodied and easy to put back, so long as you don't mind that swamp/earth kick at the end and in the aftertaste.
Final Thoughts: I've given this beer a bit of leeway here, as I'm not sure I'd classify it as a light lager, or a full on Pilsner. It's ABV lends it towards the former, whereas it has some notes more common to the later. That said, this isn't worth the trip to the Soo, this brewer I know has better options available to you.
