This is the best light beer we can have and probably hope for. It taste great but still has that light beer ting so you can tell what you’re drinking. Great taste and doesn’t fill us up. We have heard this before but this beer follows through.

 

From a can best by 10/8/22. Clear amber color with a generous amount of foamy white head. Smells of grain and crackers. Light body with good carbonation. Light grain flavor up front with some malty sweetness and a grassy finish. Good flavor in a light lager.

One of the best light beers you will find. The taste is full for a light along with the body and color put it head and shoulders above the watered-down commercial light beers.

Served on tap in a pint glass
Appearance- The beer is served a clear golden color with a one finger head of white foam. The head fades fast leaving a light level of foamy lace on the sides of the glass.

Smell - The aroma of the brew is light with a bit of graininess and some caramel. Along with these smells comes a little bit of corn and hay.

Taste - The taste begins mainly of a bready and light grainy taste with a decent showing of caramel and a bit of corn syrup. Those tastes make the bulk of the taste and last throughout. Toward the end, the caramel gives away to more corn, while a little bit of herb and hay come to the tongue, leaving one with a moderate malt, but crisp taste to linger on the tongue.
Mouth feel - The body of the brew is moderate with a carbonation level that is normal. Overall the feel is good and makes for an easy sipper.
Overall - A rather easy drinking lower ABV brew with a good easy drinking flavor. Great for the long haul sorta day;

Poured from can into tulip, good 3+ finger head, so so retention and lacing. Pale golden in the glass, was expecting crystal clear, but has a slight chill haze. Smells of cracker, grass and some herbal/floral notes. Taste is initially sweet malt, gives way to grassy/herbal hops. Has a mild bitterness on the finish, slightly crisp, slightly sweet, kind of in the middle. Not a bad beer, grabbed a six pack to throw in the beer chest so there would be a low abv option. They tout low calorie, but can't find that stat anywhere. Not a bad beer, but a local brewery Klaus knocks their out of the park. Can hardly tell the difference between it and their German Pilsner.

A much better option than the light macro-lagers out there. Great beer for what it is.
