Clear and light yellow with a fuzzy white foam top. Starchy aroma. Smooth and malty, not unlike a macro. Tinge of yeast?

Pours a typical clear golden colour. Head is quick to build and quick to subside. Aroma is light in fruit and hint of floral character. Taste is pretty basic- grain, corn and light fruit. A little grassy midpalate.

12oz bottle from Total Wine (Tampa, FL). Pours a hazy, yellow golden with a thin white head that diminishes rapidly leaving little lacing. Aroma is straw, wheat, fresh hay, grass, spice, some vague hints of fruit. Flavor is thin and somewhat watery with hints of sweet malt, honey, grass, and wheat. Quick, uninteresting finish.

12 oz bottle. Pours a pale straw yellow with a good size fizzy white head. Lots of carbonation. The aroma is very grassy, nearly devoid of hops, with some bready malt. The flavor is very thin with just a light pale bready maltiness and a lightly lemony finish. Mouthfeel is thin and fizzy as expected with a short limp finish. Overall, not the most flavorful beast, but a step above the macro Pale Lagers.

Pours a foggy crystal golden. Light white head. Aroma is slight and yeasty. Slight hint of corn. Flavor is a little surprising after the aroma. Still slightly corny, but good pilsner malt and slight hop flavor. While not anything special at all, this is a good, smooth brew. Nice on a hot summer day.
