12oz can picked up in VA. In a lot of ways this is a pretty solid offering. Soft and medium bodied, but has some bitter, floral, astringent hop action too. Still fresh after sitting in my refrigerator for months. A respectable offering.

Slightly hazy golden coloured body with a nice two centimetre tall microfoam off-white head with some orange and copper tints - very nice. Aroma of fresh malt, light wheat, a touch of lemons and a tiny bit of sugars. Light-bodied; Sharp malt up front with not much behind aside from a touch of lemons and a bit of metal. Aftertaste is light and airy with some grassy notes and a tiny bit of sugars. Overall, a pretty one dimensional beer with some light malt flavours and a hint of sugars, but that’s about it - oh, and maybe a tinge of lemons. I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Liqour Outlet in Boonton, New Jersey on 22-July-2012 for US$1.25 sampled at home in Washington on 20-August-2012.

Big Top Beverage Mart, Roslyn PA case: Purchased this to go to a music festival, so I drank a bunch of these out of the can. However, yesterday I finally poured one. Poured a light gold with a white head. Aroma is slightly fruity with pale malts. Taste is much the same. Everything about this beer is as it should be. Sessionable and refreshing. I could finish 12 of these in one sitting.
