This 3.2% ABV beer pours a pale yellow golden, with effervescent carbonation.  There is a half-inch of pure white head.  The aroma is fresh and dry golden grain in a dusty galvanized metal bucket.  The taste is very light grain, with a touch of grassy bitterness.  There is a crisp sting from the carbonation, but some creaminess from the head.  For a light American adjunct lager, this is really quite good, one of the best in its category.
