Pours a clear golden straw color. Fizzy white head dissipates steadily leaving a ring of white foam along the outside of the beer. Head eventually completely dissipates completely.
Aroma is somewhat fruity initially - very hoppy - but then you start to get a sweet corn and grain aroma and that gradually takes over.
Taste is very grainy - almost cereal like with shades of cheerios. Not too sweet, but there is some sweetness it. The hops come through towards the end and then punch the palate with a lingering bitterness. That cheerios flavor grows as the beer warms.
Feel is light and crisp. Vibrant carbonation. Semi-dry finish.
Overall my impression of this is that its just a generic AAL with some extra hops thrown in to give it some pop - its a solid beer, but for what it is its way overpriced and not something I'd pick up again.

Half Acre's version of Budweiser. Not bad, but definitely not something I'd get again. Here goes:
A: Very well carbonated. Pours a clear gold. The beer has no lacing or head, however, so it appears somewhat underwhelming.
S: Corn, bread, and cereal grains. Musty yeast. Alright.
T: Follows the nose to a T. Fermented corn with some cereal grains and baker's yeast. Like a slightly more complex Budweiser (which is just corn).
F: Nice and crisp.
O: A truly mediocre brew. Wouldn't have again.
