Golden pour with a modest white head. This lager is sweeter than most but way short of being too sweet. Also present were lemon flavor with a lively hop bite. Very crisp, clean and refreshing. It wasn't truly outstanding in any way but it sure did leave me satisfied. An eminently crushable session lager.

This one pours a light golden yellow color, with a small head, and lots of lacing.
This is pretty floral, and lightly sweet on the nose, with some lemon and almost tea-like flavors.
This has a super crisp and clean taste to it – lightly floral and just very slightly bitter, with a grainy and lightly sweet bready malt character. There’s a touch of lemony hop character.
This is very light bodied, clean, and super drinkable.
I really like that Industrial Arts make beers like this, and makes them well.

L: Pale, nearing straw like coloration. Reminiscent of your typical adjunct lager.
S: Definitely something more complex going here than your average light lager. Discernible hops.
T: Quite nice. Not overly complex but makes you want to have more. Nothing overpowering.
F: Light mouthfeel. When anyone says "crushable" this is what I imagine they mean.
O: A fantastic lighter option for IA's repertoire that will cater to a large crowd of beer drinkers.

Served from the can in a Lagunitas mason jar.
Pours a clear pale brass topped by a finger of lightly off-white foam. The nose comprises cereal grains, rather light grass, and a touch of powdered sugar. The taste brings in more of the same, along with a twinge of hard water for good measure, maybe some distant lemon rind if you squint your taste buds properly. The body is a light medium, with a light moderate carbonation and a fluid feel. A standard-ass lager, nothing much to say about it.
