This refreshing continental-style pils has a light body combined with a pronounced noble hop aroma and a crisp dry finish. This is the perfect beer for easy, flavorful drinking. Brewed in collaboration with our friends at Jinx Proof tattoo in Washington, D.C.

Thanks dannyfrost!

Clear golden yellow and orange with a thin vanilla ice cream colored head. Spots of lacing left down the glass.

The aroma is a simple combination of freshly baked bread, dry biscuits, grass, and a bit of floral hops.

Limited hop flavor though moderately bitter along with simple though pleasant grain and bread character. There's also an underlying grass and floral flavor rounding things out nicely.

Medium mouthfeel, disappearing--crisp and refreshing.

A good, incredibly drinkable, Dortmunder lager. This would be great outdoors at a ballgame on a hot day.

Look...Hazy browner more tarnished copper with a white foamy head
Smell...a very faint citrus hop but not too downgraded because that is common to the style
Taste.. a bitter start to a flavor rinse of grapefruit rind and pomegranate juice with a dry predictable lager finish.
Feel...a medium light substance to the beer with but it is very drinkable a l good amount of sticky lacing.
Overall...This came in the 3 Floyds variety pack so is this a beer i would drink individually ...Maybe, but with lots of options tough nowadays the options seem unlimited, still this is really easy to drink and well made and well worth a try

12oz can into a pint glass. Canned 2/27/23, so 4 months old.

Looks decent enough. Pale yellow body, slightly hazy. Bright fluffy head, layers of lacing. Floral aroma, taste is hoppy and slightly sweet, but the finish is bitter and long lasting.

This is a very hoppy lager, almost a pale ale. Not much taste beyond crushingly bitter pine with floral overtones. It smells like honey, which was unexpected but welcome. It's crisp and refreshing enough, but I wish I could taste something other than dude-bro weed-hops

Pours and looks like a pils, more bitter than a typical pils lager. Unique offering from 3Fs and worth the try but not my favorite from them.

Enjoyable "heavy" lager. Nice mouth feel, not watery. Need a bit more punch though.
