Canned 11/13/19
Pours a large foamy frothy head with medium retention, decent lacing, crystal clear pale golden tan color

Nose fair herbal floral hops, noble hops with a little spicy note late, light malt, some grainy sweet pilsner malt, straw

Taste brings sweet grainy malt, a hint of salt and mineral notes, with background sulfate, into hops, big noble hop presence, very floral and a little fruity, medium bitterness turning to a crisp bitter finish, grainy malt with a touch of corn DMS pilsner late, quick crisp finish, solid soft lager

Mouth is med bod, medium to higher carb, little soft lager, crisp lager and crisp bitterness

Overall not bad, great noble hops, decent malts although a little light overall on malts and the beer in general

A: The beer is relatively clear yellow in color and has a slight amount of visible carbonation. It poured with just a narrow ring of white bubbles around the edge of the glass and lots of small patches of bubbles covering the surface.
S: Light aromas of biscuit malts are present in the nose along with hints of floral and spicy hops.
T: The taste has light flavors of green grapes along with notes of floral and grassy hops. There is a slight amount of bitterness.
M: It feels medium-bodied and clean on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This pilsener seems to be more delicate compared to other beers in the style and is hardly malty with just notes of aromas and flavors from the hops.
