From the bottom of the can: "CANNED ON 10/31/2023 11:00"
The canned on date matches the cardboard package the beer came in. The beer was in cold storage when purchased.
Appearance: The body of the beer is a medium shade of gold which leans a touch on the dark side of medium. It has a light bit of haze. There is a short white head which doesn't last very long, and it fades out to a thin ring around the edge of the glass. No lacing.
Aroma: There is a very light cereal grain aroma with a very light herbal note.
Taste: Up front it has a touch of a berry character. Very light herbal middle with a touch of cereal grain. There is a very light woody finish. The finish is more obvious on the first couple of sips but it fades away quickly.
Mouthfeel: It has a medium-light body that is smooth and easy to drink. Carbonation feels a bit on the low side.
Overall: The text on the front of the can states that this is an "American Craft Lager" and as an American Lager it's alright. It straddles the line of being above and below average on various points. It feels a bit on the heavy side for the style and it also feels low in carbonation but it still manages to drink pretty well with an overall good texture. There is some aroma and flavor which is nice but it's just barely enough to let you know that it's there. I probably wouldn't buy it again given that there are better beers available on the market, but I would pick this over many other options on the market as well. It's worth grabbing a single can or pour.

From 12oz tin. Gold colour with little head. Slight citrus malty smell. Low carbonation and smooth on the tongue. Slight better aftertaste. Not bad for American-style lager. More satisfying than most “adjunct “ beers. Happily surprised.

Solid lager...
It has a great look, though it doesn't have any head to speak of. The smell has a very light scent of citrus and the mouthfeel is light and crisp as well. The taste was good, a slightly bitter, slightly sweet malty taste, all of it - solid. Glad I got more these in hand.

Picked up a Shopper's in Germantown to have a St. Patty's day drop and didn't see anything else I hadn't tried so I picked this up along with a four pack of Guinness tall boys.
A little corny in the nose but not offensive for the style. A little sour too but totally drinkable, with mellow hop notes and a grainy backbone that does the bare minimum for the style. Not a good beer, but cool for slumming it a touch on St. Patty's Day for a few before moving on.

Lightly hazed gold body with a small white head and very little lacing. Aroma of caramel malts trying to overpower vegetables. Grainy, sweet corn and butterscotch flavors with an herbal aftertaste. Best drank as cold as possible. Short lived finish. Nice graphics on the can is the only positive. Contract brewed by New Realm out of Virginia. Expensive lesson.
