Light aroma features grassy hops and lightly sweet malt/cereal grains. The body is a pale golden yellow and holds a very lasting, two finger thick pale white head. Nice looking beer. Sweetish fore has malt, cereal a very light hop presence. That sweetness lingers well into the finish. Almost hints at vanilla. Deceptively tasty and grows on you as you sip. Light bodied, as I’d expect for the style, but not watery and flavorless like most beers that claim this style.

Couldn’t finish it. Watery, lacking anything worth discussing. Is this made by Bud?

Pour a pee gold with a thin one finger head. Aroma of grain/corn. Taste of the same. Ice cold this is perfect for the summer. Other than that....get something with more taste.

Brilliant clear gold with a large, rocky, white head. Beautiful pour. Muted nose of grain and crisp bitterness with a little skunk. More grains, light dose of noble hops, and some skunky bitterness in the flavor. Light body, well carbonated. Lawnmower beer.

Pours a clear bubbly gold with a thick, frothy white head. Bubbles continuously rise to the top, looks like champagne. Smells grainy, some mild citrus, and a little corn. Just a touch of some subtle hops, but not much. Flavor sucks. Just blatantly bland, grainy, a little bitter. Just nothing positive to pull out of it. I guess it goes down easy. I would have chugged this at the beach when I was 17.

12 oz brown bottle for $1 at Vintage in Boardman. Ubiquitous free and easy pale yellow beer color. Has the aroma of eager refined uncooked bread dough yeast. The taste has hints of enterprising mechanical intuition. A short lived bite is present on the back of the throat. Good happy carbonation on the back of the tongue. Overall, a good lager like well behaved flavor taste and feel.

12 oz bottle, D’s 6-pack Pittsburgh. Pours a slightly hazy yellow gold body under a two finger bright white foamy head that left some spotty lacing. The nose is fairly light with a little bit of diacetyl and doughy malt. The diacetyl is almost overpowering in the flavor. The malt is just slightly perceptable up front. Minimal to no bitterness present. Mouthfeel is light to medium bodied with moderate fizzy carbonation. The diacetyl leaves an off-putting buttery oily texture on the finish. This was by far the worst of the bunch from Penn I’ve had yet. Yuck.

Crisp clean easy going lager in the Helles style. Malt forward beer that finish dry and zippy. Nice stuff.
