Faint mild malt / citrus aroma. Pale golden with frothy white head. Dull, mild grain flavour. Carbonated and light bitter.

Bottle. Reminds me of a yuengling. Clear straw color with fading white head. Aroma of corn and grain. Tastes of a little green bottle, even though it’s in a brown one. Nothing fancy here.

12 oz bottle at Maniac’s pad. Clear light straw with no head. Aroma of pale grainy malts and maybe a bit of corn. Flavor of grainey malts and corn with dry lager finish. Bit cardboardy and rather unremarkable.

Bottle from Once Upon a Vine South. Very clear golden body wtih a small frothy white head. Corn and honey aroma with light grain. More corn and grain flavor with a honey background and somewhat metallic. Medium light body with moderately high carbonation. Fairly boring.

Columbia, SC - Total Wine - 12 oz bottle. Medium gold - lifeless pour with no head. Mineral water like aroma with some metal pipe notes. Bland lager flavor, brief hint of honey, some metallic notes. Mouthfeel is quite dry. Probably best used to put out fires.
