A very dry, crisp, brilliantly clear lager brewed in the German tradition with an American twist; a light dry hop addition of Hallertau Blanc hops produce a delicate aroma of melon and grape.

This pils is one of the most mild, if not the most mild, pils I have had to date. I wasn't much into it's scent, it was mustier than I prefer, but overall it was decent enough.

Another gift from Rob the very thirsty travelling guy.i poured it into a glass with a one finger head but as I was drinking it the head disappeared not much of a lace either.

From Beer Drop, canned October 4th 2023.
It pours a straw yellow with a lot of bubble action and good head of foam. Lacing is pretty good.
A nice aroma of hops hits my nose, then grain, then a melon like smell, which I don't care for.
The taste is on the weak side. Light hop bitterness, some grainy notes, melon.
Mouthfeel is thin, overall not very pleasant.

I am trying a pint of this beer off the tapper at Cornerstone Arena in Lockport, NY. It poured a clear pale yellow with no head and no lace. The scent had faint grain notes. The taste was shitty...was like light white wine spritzer. The mouthfeel was lighter in body with shitty carbonation. Overall it is a terrible beer.

On tap at Nine Eleven Tavern in Buffalo, NY.
This one pours a clear golden yellow color, with a small head, and lots of lacing.
This smells like grassy hops, with some light lemon and melon, and a touch of crackery malt.
This is relatively basic, but pairs quite well with wings. It’s got a nice very light hop sweetness, with a sturdy crackery and biscuity malt backbone.
This is lighter bodied, but super crisp and clean, with a nice drinkability.
I think Thin Man Pills Mafia is the best Bills pun beer made in Buffalo, but this is a good beer even for people who don’t care about puns or the Bills.

A: The beer is crystal clear yellow in color and has a light amount of visible carbonation. It poured with a quarter finger high white head that left a narrow collar around the edge of the glass.
S: Moderate aromas of white grapes are present in the nose.
T: The taste follows the smell and has additional hints of bready malts, although these subside as the beer begins to warm up.
M: It feels light- to medium-bodied and very clean on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This pilsner is very easy to drink and accentuates the aromas and flavors of the Hallertau Blanc hops.
Serving type: can

Clear light amber appearance.
Around a medium body with just below average carbonation but it all added up to a really nice feel.
Aroma is a really nice mix of bread,grain,cereal, with pear ,yeast,and a bit of fruit juice.
Taste is very close to the aroma with the cranberry showing up a lot more than in the aroma. Cranberry is far from overpowering and allows all the other flavors to come through.
Overall this may not be for everyone but it really worked for me. Easy to get down,flavorful and well made

Pours a sparkling, clear champagne yellow, lots of visible carbonation, brief 1" frother head, light collar, no lacing. Nose isn't much - the faintest whiff of sweetish malt, maybe some banana? Mild grain as it warms as well. Taste has some light sweetness to it with a sourdough aftertaste. As with the nose, there isn't a lot of depth here, and the hop element is completely missing. Mouthfeel is thin with champagne like carbonation; a little slick on the finish. Overall, there isn't a lot here - it's not objectionable, save the slight sourness, but it's not memorable, either.

Canned 10/21/20
Absolutely-clear pale yellow, with one finger of quickly-dissipating head. A very pretty, inviting beer.
Smell is fresh straw, a little biscuit, some floral and fruity(sweet apple+pear+galia melon) aromas. All-in-all, the aroma is fairly muted. Smells good, just not much of it.
Taste is light bread crust, a bit of sweet apple, and light noble hop spiciness. Slight tang, with tongue-dessicating dryness, come in late, and lingers awhile. Light bitterness.
Feel is light, slightly watery , with light, very fine, carbonation tingle.
Overall , this is a notch above most AALs, but has a couple issues, that make it less enjoyable than it could be. That sweet apple element comes off as an artificial apple flavor , and reminds me of Genny Creme, but less intense. It detracts from the rest. More grain flavor, more hops , please. The watery feel is less than satisfactory, but would guess that it might be welcome on a hot summer day. The finish approaches the "licking cardboard" sensation I get with some AALs, but stops just short of that, so is a plus. It's OK , and wouldn't turn it down if offered, but don't imagine ever seeking it out again (Beyond the 5 I have left ;) ) .
