A light haze tries to obscure swarms of fine carbonation within the straw-colored beer (SRM 3-4). A fluffy white head transforms from 2" to 1/2" within a couple of minutes, leaving large rocky islands of lace on a Rupert Mug.
The aroma is sweet and spicy, with floral notes. Uncooked corn kernels give way to soapiness.
An initial sharp bitterness yields to spicy hops and mild honey. Lots of grain fills the middle before a long dry finish settles in, allowing bitterness to rule again. Warmth is helpful, replacing soapiness with grassiness.
A medium body with a soft, cushy texture. Alcohol seems a tad high, possibly in response to the bitterness. Carbonation is sharp and prickly. Overall, it is quite dry.
After several minutes of warming, this improves from meh to decent. I finished it out back on a mild, early Summer afternoon.

Can purchased from Skylark Lounge in Rochester, NY.
This one pours a mostly clear golden yellow color, with a small head, and lots of lacing.
This smells oddly sweet, with some lemon, grassiness, and sweet breadiness.
This is pretty much just not good, as it's just way too sweet and almost flabby for a pilsner. The hop character might be interesting, but it's just overwhelmed by the out of place sweetness.
This isn't the most drinkable, with just a weird slick feel to it.
This was not their best effort.
