Thanks to John jjpm74 for this brew, and I’m glad to have had the chance to try it. This is no way a premium lager, this stuff is tremendously higher quality than any premium lager or american pale yellos lager. It is unfiltered, provides a light brownish orange appearance that is nothing like a ubiquitous pale yellow lager. There is even some gunk on the bottom of the bottle like quality wheats! Lovely swirling pour. Looks more like a strong ale, with its creamy thin head. Taste has quite a bit of hop bitter impact, it behaves more like an ale on the palate. Even comes across a little viscous, no way is this a light beer. This is the chewiest ’light’ beer I have ever tasted. Good medium low carbonation. This beer is more like a hop flavored wheat beer than a lager. Wow, quite a taste experience. This has got to be the light beer that resembles craft beer, like no other. I’m not much one on hops or bitter malts but this certainly is not light flavored. Medium lasting light to medium bitterness on the finish.
