Appearance - pours a very light straw color, a large fluffy white head of close to two fingers forms in the pilsner glass. It rapidly falls to a thin cover despite a torrent of bead action from below.

Aroma - very average grain and corn nose, mercifully fading after a brief moment.

Taste - sweetened grain, some kind of faint, curious candy flavor in there, almost like licorice or anise or something, clove gumdrops? It's brief but it pops up now and then. A light hop element after the swallow but it has some nice persistence and is easily the tastiest part of the brew. For a light beer built on adjuncts, it'll do for a cheap lawnmower beer.

Mouthfeel - crisp and light, very gassy but refreshing enough without turning nasty as it warms. Mind you it doesn't improve, some stale vegetal/grassy flavors showing up, but this isn't a beer that will typically be around very long.

Drinkability - for $9.99 a case, it will do fine for a cheap cookout brew with hot dogs and hamburgers
