Hop forward session lager featuring aggressive late-kettle & Dry-hop additions of Citra. Citrusy, fruity and crushable!

From a 16 oz. can dated 03/04/20. Sampled My 14, 2020.
It has a hazy, milky looking yellow appearance under a modest soft ivory head.
The aroma is alive with citrus esters, tropical fruit, and a grainy, bready character underneath.
Light yet smooth body.
The taste is juicy at first with a mild to moderate bitter bite to finish it off. An easy drinker.

Poured into glass from can. Pours a hazy pale gold with substantial foam. Hazy. Really bright and strong dry hop aroma of citrus and mango. Carries through into the flavor with a subdued malt backbone. Firm bitterness. Medium body. Amazingly strong aroma when I cracked open the can, did not disappoint. Highly recommended though it doesn't quite look like the lagers you might be used to.

Poured into a lager glass.
The appearance was a cloudy burnt yellow color with a two finger's white foamy head that slid off fairly quick. Some bubbles intertwined with the foaminess. Lotsa messy lace.
The aroma chewed on a mellow biscuity sweet malt then some stifled grassy sweet hops with a light citrusy dry hop effect. Slight lemon as it warms.
The flavor mildly leans towards the sweet side of the hops and malty blend. Sly sweet bready to biscuity aftertaste with some citrusy hops.
The mouthfeel was about medium bodied with a fair sessionability about it. Carbonation felt fine. ABV felt as projected. Crisp biscuity to citrusy pulpy finish.
Overall, this was a pretty nice session India pale lager. I'd have again.

Pours a bright whitish-gold hue with a thin head into my glass. Fluffy, buttery with a touch of citrus in the nose. The mouth is enveloped with pine resin. It almost reminds me of a decent pilsner. Hella decent bitter finish. I feel that the hops overwhelm the palate and don't allow more of the malt to shine through. Still worth a try.
