From a 16 oz. can dated 10/15/2021. Sampled Nov. 21, 2021.
Light-amber olive pour underneath a modest, fading white head. Busy carbonation. Looks the part of a pale lager.
Aroma of toasted and roasted barley grain, caramel, white bread, and grass.
Light-medium mouthfeel.
Sweet taste withy a nice blast of cooked barley grain. Clean, Crisp., Typical of the style. Easy drinking.

Poured from a can into a pint glass
Appearance – The beer pours a clear golden color with a one finger head of pure white fluffy foam. The head has a good level of retention, fading over time and leaving a moderate level of foamy lace on the sides of the glass.
Smell – The aroma is heavy of a doughy and yeasty smell mixed with notes of grain and some light caramel and corn. Along with these is a bit of hay and notes of earth.
Taste – The taste starts with a crisp cracker and doughy malt flavor mixed with notes of caramel and corn sweetness. At the same time there is a touch of earthiness and a light floral note. As the taste advances on the tongue, the sweetness fades a tad, along with the doughy flavors, leaving one with a drier and crisp taste on the palate.
Mouthfeel – The body is light and clean with a moderate carbonation level.
Overall – A easy natured lager. Not a flavor powerhouse, but very drinkable overall.

A - Excellent clarity, early sunflower yellow color. A parade of gentle carbonation feeds a thin white cap.
S - Nice grain in the nose with an earthy hop thread, hint of lemongrass.
T - Cereal, grainy, with a bit of waterbiscuit. Some notes of honey, and grassy hops
M - Excellent texture, with a nice crispness. Not sweet with a fantastic dry finish
O - A very good lager with depth of flavor, and fantastic texture. One that is worth seeking out

A supervisor at work told me to slow down in the parking lot yesterday because the speed limit is 10 mph and I “came in a little hot.”. I would crush my four pack of empties on his skull, even though unworthy of the delicious can’s indent.
Update 8/23: I have had a few more four packs and they are really good. I don’t remember what the supervisor looks like or what his name is now, but I would still crush these last four packs on his fathers and his fathers heads.

Can. Clear gold with white head that fizzes away immediately. Nice delicate grassy aroma. Very sweet and cloying (maybe corn?). Herbal mild finish that lingers. Definitely not "crisp" as advertised. Very fizzy internal carbo and very slick. Really bad beer. These folks make some of the best NEIPAs, though. Give them a try instead.
