Poured into pint glass: color is straw gold, a little opaque, moderate carbonation and a off white head with a mixture of bubble sizes, some light lacing on the glass.

Smell is grainy, straw, some corn like presence - a little off for a pilsner.

Taste is also grainy, more pilsner like malt less off/adjunct grain flavor, hops are crisp/bitter/earthy.

Mouthfeel is crisp, carbonated, a little dry.

Overall, a solid beer but a bit dry and grainy.

Had this on 2015-08-06 in Columbia, PA from a fresh 16oz can.

A - Mildly hazy straw yellow with a 1.5-finger white head and mild lace.

S - Mild bread lemon and floral.

T - Corn bread, lemon flesh and zest, grassy hops. Finishes with a spicy, lingering bitterness.

M - Light body and medium-high carbonation. Very crisp. Refreshing.

O - A bit one-dimensional but it's a good dimension with a nice balance of bread, spice and bitterness. I'd have it again.

Poured from 16oz tall can into a pint glass.

Appearance: clear yellow hue with a moderate effervescence and a very light haze. Head is a thick finger of frothy white foam. I like it.

Smell: lots of straw and grain with a fair bit of corn aroma. A little too corny for my taste, but it's certainly not the worst thing in the world.

Taste: slightly sweet, very grainy and a little bit corny, but with a very decent dose of noble hops and a light but perceptible bitterness. Toward the end there is a definite floral character, which might be a hops + light grain scenario. Still; not a bad Pils.

Mouthfeel: medium-light body with a massive carbonation and a great creaminess for the style. Love it!

Overall: highly drinkable, although the corn flavor is just a bit too much for me. Still; not a bad go-to for a Pils.
