A clean, crisp, and refreshing Light Lager brewed with American grown Pilsner malt for a delicate sweetness and Mt. Hood hops which bring mild, floral, and herbal notes with subtle hints of spice, wood, and citrus. An easy-drinking lager perfect for any occasion.

16oz can from Reckless Shepherd. Clear golden pour, small foamy white head. Grainy, biscuity aroma. Taste mirrors the nose, but isn't as robust as the aroma. Abrupt finish.

I got a late start on NBS (Week 774) & I did not finish up my DelMarVa (+ DC) adventure as planned. 8=( Further, I promised that NBS (Week 775) & now, Week 776, would be dedicated to the wonderful beers sent to me by @jkblr who seems to have a real handle on my drinking habits. CANsparency is key in these things! As a result, I am going to CANcentrate over the next few days on eradicating everything that would have CANbined to form the finale of the DelMarVa (+ DC) adventure. Sit down, strap in & hang on. It's gonna be a wild ride! That last one kind of put me off of Maryland, at least for the moment, so it's time to visit some of the other victims, I mean, honorees. I'd like to give a shout-out to my local, in-person beer trader, @tone77 who dropped this CAN off for me a while back.

I am aspiring to very little at this point in my life, other than to drink, review & rate this beer. It CAN only happen, though, if I actually Crack! open the vent & begin a slow, gentle C-Line Glug into the awaiting glass. The resulting two-plus fingers of foamy, soapy, rocky, eggshell-white head was pretty impressive, as was its retention, allowing me to finish CANother project while waiting for it to fall. Color was a solid Amber (SRM = > 7, < 9) with NE-quality clarity. Nose had a sweet, bready quality, more like proofing dough. Mmm. Mouthfeel was medium. The taste remained malty, but not overly sweet, with a light berry-like flavor. Hmm. Finish was semi-sweet, about the way I like beers to be if they are malty. Too sweet & I lose interest. This would be a good CANdidate for the Summer cooler. YMMV.
