From the bottom rim of the can: "3/22/21"

Appearance: The body is a pale gold color with a medium haze. The head is white and frothy, standing medium-low in stature. It has good head retention.

Aroma: There is a prominent spicy hop aroma with notes of clove and bay leaf. There is a very light cereal aroma in the background.

Taste: Up front it has a Cheerios flavor. Towards the middle some hop character comes through in the form of herbal hops. There is an excellent grain flavor to the beer. It finishes very similar to the middle of the palate character. Aftertaste is cereal.

Mouthfeel: The body is on the upper edge of light and just crosses into the border of medium. It is slightly chewy. Carbonation is great. Very light bitterness that is only just perceivable.

Overall: As far as flavor and aroma is concerned, the beer is very rewarding. It has a great presence of both grain and hops. The only real downsides are that the body feels a bit heavier than what the beer needs and it lacks a crisp finish. As a whole I would buy it again because the flavors and aromas are excellent. I would recommend it.

Quite hazy but bright straw gold, glowing even, with a puffy foam head that's moderately tall and dense, collapsing in fits. Its fogginess turns out to just be an intense chill haze, but after it calms and mostly clears up, it does still remain slightly foggy.

This is actually quite good for a lager from a brewery I'd not heard of made for the Shenandoah National Park. Its medium body is nicely rounded and has a slightly frothy carbonation delivering subtle notes of corn mixed with a tempering light wheat that comes to a finely firm semi-dry finish exhaling a hint of grass.
