Pours a typical (maybe better) transparent gold. Minimul head that dissapears into a thin lace. Definately a finer carb then most macros. Floral nose. It has a medium hoppy flavor with a mildly dry finsh. Nothing to spectacular. Better then the macros but there are others in this style i would rather drink.

Light golden pour with white head. Tastes like a hoppier lager without the shitty aftertaste you find in most american pales. very refreshing and smooth. Light fruity notes in the head as well. Good brew.

Well, I am a big fan of Bells (who isn’t?) and while I can’t say this is one of their best beers, it’s definitely solid and can hold its own in Bells fantastic lineup.

Golden yellow with large white head. Aroma of grassy hops, sweet malt and mild fruit. Taste of sweet malt, Pilsener-esque hops with a mild dry, crisp and sweet finish. Decent, especially for a style I’m not too fond of.

Bottle from Tj’s. Drank this last night. Tasted like a typical lager. A great lawnmower beer, but I doubt I will buy more of it when I can get PBR for much cheaper. No flaws detected and good thirst quencher.

Nothing special here. citrus aroma, clear yellow color. Slightly bitter throughout. Would be a decent summer beer.
