A- Crystal clear pour from the can which feels somewhat foreign in the modern age of beer. A tiny white layer forms atop the beer and it quickly dies out. Thousands of bubbles rapidly rise to the top and lacing is nonexistent.

S- Just smells oddly sweet like rock candy, cane sugar and wet sweet base grains. Besides that there are just some estery pale fruits like apple or similar.

T- Follows up on the aroma with the dominant characteristic of the beer being the sweets and grainy flavor. Bread, cracker, cane sugar, corn and mashed barley lead into apple and a whisper of spicy hops.

MF- Uber light bodied with just a fizzy and slightly foamy texture. Very high level of bubbles and a hint of bitterness.

Sweetness with just a hint of yeast flavor and hops. Certainly nothing special lacking a big flavor to get into but at least not offensive or totally flavorless.

A - Light gold to medium gold color with thin soapy lacing that dissipates quickly, light carbonation.

S - Earthy, grainy, light citrus zest.

T - Grainy throughout with light honey malt, some citrus with a little earthiness, and a balanced finish.

M - Medium body with prickly carbonation that gives way to a creamy finish.

O - Been a long time since I've had this beer. Nothing special but it certainly hits the spot when you're thirsty.

Decent pilsner-style basic lager. Anyone rating this 2.5 or lower is just a straight hater with an unreliable opinion or a noob. Pretty much dunks on just about every other macro regular, light, or Mexican lager out.

Good beer..underrated. Its golden and has a better overall flavor than Bud or Coors imo..you can actually taste a little hop and malt flavor in there, well balanced. Very easy drinking.

24 Oz Can poured into glass
Look - Clear light gold or straw color. Foam head fades very fast leaving no lacing
Smell - not a whole lot there, just basic grain or corn and subtle sweetness
Taste - pretty much tastes what the ingredients are, the corn and hops (can barely detect them) hit first and then yeast and barley malt finish but it is a very basic beer taste. Some sweetness but not bad at all. It is certainly drinkable and refreshing cold. I would say the carbonation is medium-high. Solid beer.

Not much else to say about it, Grade is B
