From the can, it pours a clear yellow color with a nice white head that hangs around. Lacing as it goes down. Light fresh scent of hops and grain. Lightly pils bitter with a refreshing taste and a pleasant aftertaste.

Clear golden body, high carbonation, one finger of pearl white foam. Bready and grainy aromas with classic pilsner malts. Taste has a herbal dankness, some bitter vegetable hops in there too, but overall bready and crisp with malt. Feel has high bitterness for style, crispness and high carbonation. A fine pilsner.

12 ounce can into lager glass, canned on 3/12/2019. Pours fairly crystal clear medium golden yellow color with a 1 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of big lemon, cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, wood, peppercorn, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of pale malts and citrus/earthy hop notes; with great strength. Taste of big lemon, cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, wood, peppercorn, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, herbal, woody, floral, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of lemon, cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, wood, peppercorn, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of pale malts and citrus/earthy hop flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and no lingering hop astringency after the finish. Fairly crisp/clean finishing. Very clean on lager flavors, with minimal fruity/yeasty notes present. Moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately bready/grainy/sticky, and fairly resinous/rindy balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5%. Overall this is an awesome German pilsner. All around awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of pale malts and citrus/earthy hop flavors; very smooth and fairly crisp/clean/refreshing to drink, with the modestly bitter/resinous/drying finish, not overly aggressive. Very flavorful and not watery for the ABV. Perfectly balanced clean pils malts and earthy noble hop showcase. Minimal residual sweetness with crisp resin dryness. A really enjoyable offering, and impressive spot on style example.

Clear, golden body infused with lively carbonation; thin, white head. Cracker aroma with a grassy, floral hop note. Initial taste is of light cereal grain, then a bold hop bitterness emerges. Medium-light body; smooth and slick; mostly dry finish.
A fair pilsner, lacking a decent head and perhaps a bit too strong on the hop bitterness, but still worth experiencing.

A: The beer is relatively clear yellow in color and has a moderate amount of visible carbonation. It poured with a half finger high white head that died down a bit but consistently left a short head covering the surface.
S: Moderate aromas of pilsener malts are present in the nose along with notes of grassy hops.
T: The taste follows the smell and has flavors of bready and grainy pilsener malts along with notes of grassy hops and a light to moderate amount of associated bitterness.
M: It feels light- to medium-bodied and clean on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This beer is easy to drink and has some refreshing properties.

Poured from a 12 OZ can into a pint glass at Beer Head Pub in Schaumburg, IL. The appearance is a clear pale gold color with a small white head. The aroma is has some malt but is grain driven. The taste has some hop bitterness with some grass notes and a hint of malt.
