Clear yellow-gold color. Poured a medium height head that collapsed to a patchy skiff after a minute. Low flow of tiny bubbles rising from the bottom of the glass. Left no lacing.
Light blend of pale malt, hops, and yeast. Slightly sweet smelling. Swirling the glass kicked up a pleasant barnyard and a fleeting smell of mint and cinnamon.
Slightly sweet pale malt. Some light hops joined by something a bit spicy (maybe the mint and cinnamon?). Bitters built up after a few mouthfuls. The aftertaste was mild bitters and hops, with some yeast showing up. There was a little malt that came back to join the bitters in the finish.
Some brief tongue tingling as about half the fluid turned to foam. A hint of warmth.
This had lower hop and bitter flavors than expected for a standard German Pilsner. The slight warmth along with the hint of mint and cinnamon were an unexpected bonus. Much better Pilsner than most coast attempts - I assume they have more appropriate water available.

355ml can poured into tulip.
Pours a clear medium yellow with two fingers of off-white head that leaves some splashing ocean foam lace as it recedes.
Smells of fresh bread, lemon zest, hay, white grape, field flowers and grassy noble hops.
Tastes of white bread, more lemon and grape fruitiness, apple skin and more Saaz hops.
Feels light and peppy. Light bodied with fizzy carbonation. Finishes off-dry.
Verdict: Recommended. You could enjoy a lot of these.

This is a very good Pilsner. Mid carb big fresh finish with an aroma similar to taste
One of the best pilsners out there try this at your convenience and grab a few you’ll want to enjoy one after the other

On draft at The Ramenman (Bidwell St., Vancouver, BC), 9 oz pour served in an IKEA lowball glass. Clear, pale golden yellow with a brief head of frothy white foam, but a good, lingering cap of foam and streaky lace. Light, bready malt with gently citrus and floral hops. Light body with crisp, effervescent carbonation. Perfectly plain - and perfect to wash down a savoury bowl of chicken X clam ramen.

Part of a sampler 12-pack purchased at a BC Liquor Store in Fernie. Poured in to a pilsner glass.
Pours a pale gold color, clear with a thin but creamy white head.
Smells a lot like wet grain. Not much fruit of floral scent.
Taste is a lot like the aroma. A cereal flavor with a dry bitter finish.
Mouthfeel is very clean and crisp.
Overall a nice pilsner. I' not much on the style, but it is much better than a typical macro lager.

Poor's straw in color with good clarity, carbunatinf and lacing.
Smell of crushed grains, and lightly bready.
Flavor is similar with some spicy and apple hip flavor.

Look: Diluted honey thinly poured over a bushel of wheat. Broken foam mosaic balanced between shattered tiles and dust.
Smell: Gritty wheat and grain interspersed with orange rinds, peanuts and noble hops. Airborne spice circles overhead on wafts of bubblegum.
Taste: Lightly bitter grass gently folds into velvet gloves. A grocery store’s bulk section collage of grains, nuts and assorted musty earth pearls then emerge from the back of the palate. A few flecks of metallic rust return the movement to the dry ground.
