Everything tastes better on vacation. Picked-up at the OBX Food Lion in the refrigerator case (4x16 0z cans). Didn't expect much, but I was pleasantly surprised. Nice hazy yellow in the glass with a quickly dissipating head. Not much in the nose, but decent biscuity malt at first taste and just a hint of hops. Good take on the German style--without any of the offputting flavors that sometimes creep into the imports. Bottom line for me was that is was easy to drink, lower ABV (for staying hydrated by the pool), and extremely fresh tasting. I enjoyed all four cans.

Pours a mostly clear golden color with orange hues, a half inch poorly retained white head that left little lacing. Smell is very mild with some hops and sweet malts. Tastes of sweet malts, hops, grain, herbal notes, a touch of spice and lemon grass. Light bodied, well carbonated slightly dry mouth feel.

Poured from the can into a Libbey style pilsner glass.
Fairly clear bodied, with a brass dark gold color, even touches of orange slightly. Head creation though is quite weak, with poor retention and heavily soapy appearances. Pops and dissolves to a quick thin collar, which also afte some time dissapears nearly enitrely. Good amounts of pinhead to fine carbonation.
Clean lager like aroma. Slightly herbal hop but more emphasis on sticky pasty yeast qualities. Very subtle tones, not very distinct, but at least nice.
Palate seems to contain more subtle notes. The body and mouthfeel is a little slippery, almost syrup like but not quite. A strange amount of flat tasting like carbonation, but some lively herbality. Good finishing hop herbal presence, a bit large though. Does come off that clean in quality on the finish, a touch of sugary malt, if it weren't so biting herbal.
The beer seems a little strangely flat, if with some prickly carbonation. It's also a bit hop forward which while nice is a bit overdone. The base character and malt quality isn't really shining through on this. While drinkable and acceptable, there's room for improvement.

Pours a light honey gold, white lacing for a head.
Smells of light sugar sweet malt.
The flavor is dry and crisp, a simple barley malt with some very mild dry hops in the finish.
Medium body with a sting of carbonation on the roof of the mouth.
Solid lager, light and crisp. Drinks easily. Likable enough and would pair with food fine, this beer is inferior to the Kolsch. It's still fine, but not quite the excellent example of its style that the Kolsch is, nor is it as good against the Kolsch beer-to-beer.
