Lone Star Beer Can White Balance (Wonkish)

Summary: I’ve added a new body to my street bag.  The color is different between body models.  While color-correcting images I found that the white found on a can of Lone Star Beer is a very convenient way to do a quick white-balance correction in Adobe Bridge.
