On-tap at Alibi Room in Vancouver, BC.

Light yellow colour with a decent, spongey head of white. Lacing is mild, but present, at least. Quite a light body, but you expect that. Overall, a pretty decent looking pils.

Nose is a bit light, but again inoffensive and pleasant enough. Not much in the way of hop fragrance, but there's a touch of crisp grain noticeable. There's a hint of sweetness to it as well, that I'd be inclined to think is out of style, but it's almost a fruity sweetness that could come from the hops. It's not bad.

Taste is very similar, although the grain has disappeared here as well, leaving that very light fruit sweetness carry the beer. It's clean and brisk and light, without doing much, but without needing to do a whole lot. Feel is a little too light, and without some characters to contrast it, it doesn't even feel particularly crisp.

This isn't a really exciting brew, but it's pleasant enough, and it was enjoyable sitting outside on a balmy Vancouver evening.
