Formerly known as Trail Magic.
Another foray into crispy refreshing lagers! Trail Magic pours a brilliant yellow in the glass with a puffy white head. Noble hops mingle with a clean cracker-like malt base resulting in a most refreshing beverage. A bit of spice with a soft but dry finish provide balance, making Trail Magic hard to put down... Clean and crispy, just the way we like them! A beer that makes us relish the waning summer days. . .

16oz. Can served in a willibecker. Pours a pale, translucent yellow hue with a tight, one inch, bright white head.
Nose is clean with hints of grass and lemon. Taste consistent with nose with a hint of cereal grains at the finish.
Mouthfeel is light in body with a pleasant, even carbonation and a lovely, pillowy mouthfeel.
Overall, quite lovely and drinkable.

16 oz can split with two friends. Poured into a wine glass. Pours a slightly cloudy straw yellow. Fluffy head, nice lacing. Aroma and flavor feature clean biscuity/bready malts and floral/grassy hops. Low bitterness and just a hint of doughy sweetness. Mouthfeel is crisp and on the light side, but not thin. Overall it's a fantastic rendition of a German pilsner.

Shimmering clear golden color with white cap and lacing.
Aroma of yeasty French bread crust seasoned with Noble Hopsl
Taste is clean, crisp and beautifully balanced. On entry this is classic Pilsner with all the right moves. Beer presents with sweet malt with just the right amount of hops to balance. I get simple flavors of malt, cracker, bread crumb and floral hops that though simple weave together to form a complexity greater than the sum of parts.
A bit fuller than medium texture with balancing carbonation
Not a blockbuster overly flavored brew, rather a delightful accompaniment to any dish that I would prepare.

Purchased 1/31/2021 direct from the source. Canned 11/23/2020.
Tells you all you need to know.
They can’t sell this malarky.
Sure. It’s a lager. Not exactly a hot cake. But a good lager is a good lager. This is not a good lager.
Waaaaaay under attenuated. Cloying in fact. Takes what should be a clean, crisp beer to a sticky, sweet mess. Even helles are typically drier than this can.
It’s filtered. I’ll give it that.
