Poured from a can into a tall pilsner glass. Clear light yellow color with a nice white head and decent lacing. Grassy smell, a bit weak. Crisp, refreshing slightly bready taste. Sharp, crisp feel. Good light beer.

LOOK: Pours a crystal clear, extremely light colored watered down gold, with a bold snow white head that fades in the wink of an eye.
AROMA: Cold metal, faint lemon. a little corn husk and grass.
TASTE: A very little skunk element.
FEEL: Light body, low carbonation.
OVERALL: Typical light beer, low in calories and in carbs, that equates to light in taste.
At least it is inoffensive.

Served on tap in a pint glass
Appearance – The beer is served a clear golden amber color with a one finger head of fluffy white foam. The head fades fast leaving a tiny bit of lace on the sides of the glass.
Smell – For a light brew the aroma is rather strong, with a decent hit of a wheaty and grainy smell mixed with a whole lot of a grassy and sorta skunky like flavor. Coming from a can you know its just how it is, but the skunk is actually rather fitting and creates a sorta inviting smell overall.
Taste – The taste begins with a crisp grainy cracker taste mixed with a little bit of caramel sweetness. As the taste advances the graininess grows a tiny bit stronger as the sweetness grows a touch weaker. All the while a little bit of a cardboard and more skunky and light herbal and grassy taste comes to the tongue and leaves one with a rather crisp and Heineken like taste to linger on the tongue.
Mouthfeel – The body of the brew is super light and crisp with a carbonation level that is rather high. For the style the feel is great and makes for a nice easy drinker.
Overall – It tastes quite a bit like a slightly light Heineken, but with a bit more caramel and less skunk and grass. Plus at only 110 calories for 12 oz, it is a nice session brew and delivers an easy drinking taste and feel.
