look: 2.75 | smell: 2.25 | taste: 3.25 | feel: 3 | overall: 3.5
Appearance: The thumb of head evaporated almost instantly, and the body is pale to gold depending how the light hits it. The carbonation however shows big bubbles and an ample amount of them.

Smell: Mild straw malt, but it's mostly absent. There just isn't enough here to really comment on, even after warming, but it is a light lager, so I will give some leeway. Nothing bad mind you, just absent.

Taste: Straw followed by biscuit malt that ends with a bit of an odd carrot/celery vegetable note. I'd say its better than average for this style, as I'm not getting any metal, mineral or corn notes, but it's just not doing anything incredible.

Mouthfeel: Points get deducted for the complete lack of head. The carbonation helps out the middle of the beer and comes across as sudsy. That said, I do catch the barest touches of the club soda taste in the aftertaste, but the straw malt seems to keep it at bay. Transistioning is decent as well.

Drinkability: This is a summer guzzler, that is for sure, as it settles down exceptionally well and it is refreshing in extreme. I should note though, if that was all I was looking for, there would probably be cheaper options on that front.

Final Thoughts: It's a serviceable light lager, and it's certainly better then a typical macro offering, but there's nothing really unique about this beer that's making it stand out. It's a pass for me, as this brewer during the summer tends to offer far more interesting low ABV cream ale and various fruited sours.
