A foamy pour from the can and it presents a good bit darker than a typical pilsner.
It's got a lichen thing going on I don't usually taste with beer especially a pils.
There is an interesting hoppiness that is not overwhelming but adds to the experience. Not fruity or too bitter nor is there much malt, as expected, despite the fact that it's still it's fairly full bodied.
It's definitely an interesting beer and worth a try.

Look - A slightly darker yellow color with sufficient foam.
Smell - very crisp, floral and nutty bread with a touch of fruit
Taste - Bready with a little extra malt and hop than is typical of this style. Very nicely balanced with a nice malty and slightly fruity, crisp finish.
Feel - Pretty full for a pils
Overall an excellent pils - my personal favorite of the style and one of the best Nebraska beers I’ve had.

On tap. Poured a clear, golden yellow color with a small, white head. It smelled of grains, caramel and floral notes. Sweet caramel and toasted bread. Very, mildly bitter.

Good Pilsner, mabey it's something I drank earlier but Im getting a slight Belgian like flavor on this one, anyways...
Crisp, a bit tart, a bit sweet, refreshing
Pours clear golden, finger of head
It's on par with most craft beers price wise @10.00 a sixpack but I prefer Cechvar/Budvar and it is also 10.00 a sixer even with importing so I wouldn't purchase this at the store often but in a bar if its available I would choose it over most AB, Coors, ect
Of the 20 or so Nebraska beers I have tried of various styles this is one of two that I have not poured down the drain, the other also being from Brickway, their 10th Sanctum barleywine.

Unknown canned date
Pours very pale yellow with frothy one finger head. Retains well
Smell is very muted. Faint Pilsner tones, grassy
Taste is subdued grass and slight bitterness of noble like hops. Maybe some spice.
Thin feel and higher carbonation. Crisp and clean. Best aspect of this beer
Pretty tame in the smell and flavor dept. but the feel is nice. Average at best?

Pours a bright, crispy golden yellow color with a tight 1 finger head. Lots of effervescent bubbles rising to the top. Really nice showing here.
Crisp, floral aromas, bread crusts, and light fruit.
Flavor follows suit beautifully, with a soft white bread flavor, pinches of hop, cracker, pale malts, and fresh orange. Very crisp finish.
Feel is right on point, very refreshing, and again crisp.
Overall the word of the day here is crisp. This is a near perfect pilsner. One thing Nebraska gets right beer-wise are their pilsners.

a great beer here, my favorite i had from these guys, ice cold right out of the can, i really dug it. its got a little something different about it, not too cleaned up maybe, i taste more yeast than i am used to, its more than just what the yeast does, make it dry and crisp, but there is actually a soft bready flavor from it remaining in this that i really like. there is also a slight floral character to it, like orange blossom or something, gives it a little more liveliness than the hops can do on their own, and makes this pretty distinct. good bitterness on the back end and a lot of body for the style. creamy feeling, but well carbonated and incredibly easy drinking too. i know its not the sexiest sounding beer on the menu here (they have some pretty ambitious recipes working right now), but its arguably their best executed beer, at least of the several i had while i was here. its certainly one of the better pils types i have had out of the state of nebraska and around the region more generally. nice work here, this should get some legs now that the cans are up and running...
