Pours a clear pale gold color with a thin white head. Boring aroma and flavor of malt and citrus. The body is light with a watery texture and moderate carbonation.

very light, easy to drink, great with food, and my wife liked it. if you like light beer, you’ll like this. if you don’t, you’ll still enjoy this one a bit.

This is interesting, while I can’t say it tastes like a typical light beer, it does just basically taste like a decent pale lager. I guess there is some value there, but it is boring as are most pale lagers.

Tasted as part of sampler, may revise rating when tasted from bottle. For a light lager, OUTSTANDING. But then again, I’m used to the relatively flavorless "lite" beer offerings. The aroma and appearance are along the same lines, maybe a slightly deeper golden color. But the flavor is far better than what I was expecting for a light lager.

Draught, light yellow, average lacing, slight floral smell, slight bitterness and dry finish, run of the mill beer.

Tap. Pale yellow color. White head. Hoppy aroma. A thinner version of the Pilsner methinks. Very dry and hoppy finish.

For a brewery that just reopened after a tornado destroyed it, a great beer. This is a re-introduction of a beer they discontinued in the 30’s. For a low carb light beer this should be the standard. Loads of flavor and a nice nose. Has a good finish with some floral present. Hard to find for now but I will make the 60 mile trek to get some cases. Some bottles have to much sediment and leaves a bad taste.
