On tap. Clear pale yellow straw colored typical pale lager. Light smell of malts, touch of hops, and corn. Taste is weak and the same and the smell.

Draught. Very light grain aroma, and I mean VERY light, nearly odorless. Absolutely clear with the slightest yellow hue. Flavor is similarly devoid of anything noticeable except a very slight pilsner malt presence. Palate is surprising full-bodied and assertive. It creates a very odd sensation, like very thick water. The tongue is tricked into thinking that there’s beer around somewhere, but the taste buds are not fooled.

Draft at the brewpub; poured the expected color of yellow; decent white head. Aroma of sweet malt, with maybe a hint of hops. Flavor was the same; slightly sweet, bready malt. Not too hoppy, but a definite upgrade over a macro. Noticed alot of people drinking it there.

Slightly cloudy, bright yellow appearance, average head. Sweet balanced aroma of malt. Doughy taste and crisp hop finish. Not a lot of bubbles, but still a refreshing bite. Relly a pretty good beer. I was surprised.

Draft at NXNW and keg from NXNW. In Austin, a keg of this beer is sold for about the same price as a keg of Bud Light. This beer is much better than Bud Light. Smooth, easy to drink, light body. Has both floral and hoppy flavors. Not a particularly complex beer, but a solid, easy drinking beer for social occasions.
