Notes from 5/25/2020.
Poured from a 12oz can into a Rastal nucleated Teku glass.
The body is clear golden with 2 fingers of white head. Retention is above average leaving a island of foam, a collar around the glass, and a little lacing.
The intensity of aroma is slightly below medium. There are notes of white grape peal, biscuit, grass, malt, and some spice.
The intensity of taste is medium. The flavor has sweet malt, biscuit, grass, some spice, and a bitter finish that's slightly below medium. The finish is not very crisp.
The feel is a little above medium in thickness. it's a little creamy, has a moderate level of carbonation, and an astringency level that's slightly below medium.
Overall, it's not very traditional but it manages to be easy drinking and still be somewhat interesting.

This is sinply quite a good lager, not too exciting but okay. I would not describe this as a real Pilsner, but still respectable. Beats the TV beers hands-down.

Not a lager person, but this is very decent. 5.3% ABV. Goes down very easily, but still has a full feel. Enjoyed Jan, 2022.

This is a very nice pilsner, crisp and refreshing- as you would expect from a good pilsner.

Had it from draft, poured into a tall pilsner glass. Bright clear yellow color with excellent head and lacing. Sweet herbal, grassy smell and taste. Pleasant back bite at the finish. Highly recommended.

it's snappy, sexy, and easy. flaky lager malt forward with fruity zips and pops. clean and mildly punchy at times. slightly bitter and dry finish that isn't pushy. the carbonation is a bit forward, however, which is honestly why I reach for the Peacemaker instead. still a solid brew, especially in a session sense

Poured from a can into a pint glass
Appearance - The beer pours a golden straw color with a one finger head of white foam. The head fades fast to leave a little bit of lace on the sides of the glass.
Smell - The aroma of the brew is strongest of a caramel and grainy smell mixed with a hint of herb and grass.
Taste - The taste begins with a grainy and lightly hopped taste of herb and earth. As the taste svances a little bit of citrus and a light caramel taste come to the tongue and leave on with a slightly grainy, but easy going flavor to linger on the tongue.
Mouthfeel- The body of the brew is rather light and crisp with a carbonation level that is average. Good for the style making it very drinking.
Overall- A decent easy drinking pils overall.
