Huh?
After phenominal efficiency, this beer ended bigger than planned as I maxed out the carboy. Turned out a wonderful American Lager if a little big for summer time swigging. Guess I'll just sip instead.

| Carbonation: | medium high carbonation. | |||||||
| Tasting: | Has a sweet corny taste to start with surprisingly balancing bitterness. Tastes like a souped up MGD with a nice grainy malt note and low though noticeable noble hop flavor. Carbonation is creamier and is a bit fuller than the mega-swills, but is also an extra % abv. Wickedly drinkable on the back porch looking over the marsh and perfect with tonight's pulled pork. | |||||||
