This is lawnmower/poolside outdoors quaffing beer, nothing more or less. If you think a slightly sweet, corny, adjuncty beer fits that mold, then this is for you. If you are pouring it into a snifter, you have utterly missed the point. As to the philosophical question of why a craft brewer would create this, I would reply "because there is an obvious market for it", and it does actually fit the "my God its hot" beer drinking niche where I live. This (and OB Beerito) don't give me the instant 2 beer headache that macro examples of the style do, so I am assuming better ingredients and brewing technique are in play here.

Had at the pool and drank out of a can so no idea in look, pour, color sorry I am not very good at the ratings system Very enjoyable when it is 105, nice flavor when cold and very refreshing. Sweetness to it with little aftertaste. When it warms up in the sun it is ok but not as refreshing

On tap at McGillicuddy's, Five Corners, Essex Junction, VT
The appearance was a semi-transparent copper to yellow color with a small cap of a little white foamy head. Barely any lace.
The aroma had some sweet corn, and a light earthy to grassy hop spice, but not much else.
The flavor was mainly sweet and trying to bring in the earthy to grassiness but that had a hard time trying to blend for balance. Mainly the sweet corn in the aftertaste.
The mouthfeel was between light and medium bodied with a fair sessionability about it. Carbonation felt fine. ABV felt good. Mainly a sweet corn-like finish.
Overall, there's nothing off-putting about this, however, though I could find myself drinking a lot of this on hot days, I'd reach for again depending upon what else is offered.

Great look, great mouthfeel and carbonation. Packaging from 21st Amendment is spot on, too. However, there is a malty, corn-y, dull dry and bitter aftertaste that is unpleasant to the point of making me want to stop drinking. I really want this to be a slammer, but the taste is off and the smell has hints of it already. Bought six six packs to mix with tepache and it does not go well with that, or with lemonade.

Stick to the cheaper Mexican lagers.

Mild grain aroma, with a touch of sweetness. Pours a crystal clear pale straw with a thin white head. Light body, with a little malt sweetness, and a touch of corn. Overall, a nice lawnmower beer that works on a warm evening.

Appearance: Pale golden, with a nice white head and a little lace.

Aroma: Corny malts, typical of style.

Taste: Adjunct malty, grainy and with a hint of fruitiness. Dry finish. A drinkable Mexican lager but nothing to pursue, either.

Really wheaty, with a nice full body. Could easily drink a few of these.

Although this beer is not a robust Mexican Lager, there are few things to complain about. Sure, the flavor is light, but completely unoffensive, the aromas are there, although only lightly. A light refreshing beer.

Man is this a slammer. I like it.
Sulfur, corn, pale malt and lager yeast. Clean and fresh. Hard time catching hops in the aroma.
Bright white head. Mostly clear yellow.
Mostly clean malt with nice drying on the finish. Do pick up some hops leaving a green grassy taste, but very light. Ample carbonic bite. Hop flavor seems to grow as it opens up.
Light to a little bigger. Full carbonation with both bite and softness in feel.
As I said before. This is a slammer and a good one at that.

Pours a clear yellow with a thick white head that dissipates almost immediately but leaves a little lacing on the glass from start to finish. The aroma is corn and crackers. Flavor is sweet with very little hop bitterness. Mouthfeel is light and crisp. A decent lawn mowing beer.
