Crap, I think I aliased this backwards. Either that or I scored a really, really old bottle. Lively amber colour, light but balanced palate. Kind of bland, but has a refreshing character. I know that sounds like what some people write about Coors Light, but this is a bit more than that.

12oz bottle. Poured a light to medium yellow color with a larger sized white head. Aromas of grass, spicey, and citrus. Tastes of grass, same peppery spiciness, citrus, and grains.

Draft... Lightly hazy, straw-colored lager with a small, creamy, white head. Good retention. The nose is citrusy and grainy. Well-balanced flavor, but thin. Spicy and citrusy with a decent hop bite. Light-bodied with a mildly creamy mouthfeel and lively carbonation. Finishes crisp and clean.

Sample, from 12 oz bottle at the Mondial. Clear, light straw-gold with a bit of head retention...somewhat spicy nose of cut grass and lime...very soft, fairly malty body with herbal undertones and grassy dry hops towards the finish...fairly watery and indistinct, but the bitterness lingers...
