Pours a bright and clear gold color with a small white head.

Aromas are of honey, bread, grass, spices and dough.

Taste is crisp and clean, light creamy malts, faint cracker sweetness, some honey, with a snappy bright floral hop finish.  Maybe a bit to sweet for the style, but this is a bit of hybrid.

Mouthfeel is full and smooth.

Overall a solid easy drinking and refreshing beer, very thirst quenching on a warm day.

Pours gold with an almost non-existent head.
Nose shows floral honey and bready notes. Delicate, but very tempting.
Similar flavours at first before transitioning to full-on grain malt. Unfortunate really, I feel let down after that promising aroma.
Body seems a bit watery.

Nice golden colour with good clarity. Small, shortlasted white head. Better head retention is needed.

Crisp, spicy hop aroma with mild yeast notes. Fine.

Overly sweet. There is a lot of malt flavour here and the noticeable malt sweetness dominates. Mild hop character and a hint of honey. Needs to finish drier.

Medium body with moderate carbonation. Okay.

A fair pilsner but the honey notes are coming across far too sweet.
