Decanted from a 16 oz (473 ml) can into a Willi Becher glass; no production information.
A: Pours a hazy, golden to amber color with a one finger head initially, solid but ultimately rim retention, and fairly limited lacing.
S: Floral, especially geranium, and fruity with aromas of lemon and dragonfruit combine with grasses (especially dry hay) and grains (notably barley). Peppery.
T: More semisweet than semidry. Fruit, lemon and dragonfruit, predominate. Surprisingly bitter for a Pilsner, but works with the fruit. Unusually complex for the stated style.
M: Light to medium bodied with very moderate carbonation. Tingly on the palate.
O: I thought it was actually very drinkable and would have it again, although I believe it is a one off.

A: The beer is hazy light yellow in color and seems to have a light to moderate amount of visible carbonation. It poured with a short white head that quickly died down, leaving a thin layer of bubbles covering the surface and some lacing down the sides of the glass.
S: Moderate aromas of pilsner malts are present in the nose along with notes of grassy hops.
T: The taste follows the smell has light to moderate flavors of pilsener malts with hints of grassy hops and a light amount of bitterness.
M: It feels light- to medium-bodied and a bit crisp on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This beer seems lighter in body compared to other beers in the style, but is very easy to drink.
Serving type: can
