Pours a clear gold producing 2+ fingers of white, finely bubbled head that leaves a fine webby coating of lace. Aroma is lemon and grassy hops, grain and something toasted malt-like (even though it has no toasted malts in it) with undertones of yeast. Taste is malt, grainy sweetness, faint yeast throughout, lemon and grass. There is a hint of something akin to the flavor of muscadine grapes, a metallic hint with some hop bite and bitterness in the finish. An aggressive lingering bitterness is predominant in the aftertaste. A slightly toasted pilsner!!! Refreshing, pleasant and very good.

A little to hoppy for my taste. Not a fan of hops in everything like a Pilsner.
