Draft at bar in Detroit airport
Big foamy pillowy head, good retention, soapy lacing, crystal clear golden pilsner color
Nose light macro lager aroma that's a touch skunky and vegetal, light grassy hop, mild grainy malt
Taste better, some grainy sweet pilsner malts, touch of corn, soft lager, then big spicy hops, medium to higher bitterness, little earthy herbal, dry finish big lingering spicy hops, little sulfate crisp bitterness, high bitterness gets a little too aggressive
Mouth is med bod, soft lager, medium bubbly carb
Overall not bad, a little off on the nose but goes away and taste was better other than the big overly bitterness

Taste like a throwback to the strong German pilsner beers, I love that it is not perfumed up with coffee or fruit. This is just a straight ahead kind of beer. Once again another spectacular pilsner, lager or hefeweizen by them!

Poured from the tap into a 22 OZ mug. The appearance is a clear light gold color with a large white head. The aroma is bitter and mild hops. The taste is mild hop bitterness with a buttery taste and feel.

Solid Pilsner, maybe just a little hoppier than some, but overall very good. Cool new label art also, The beer pours fairly clear with good carbonation. It maintains a nice white head and leaves a fine lacing. The smell and flavor are both excellent, it has a grassy and grainy smell and the taste follows, but with an initial hit of spicy noble hops. It is smooth and easy drinking, very session-able and good with food. Enjoyable and moreish.
