Pours slightly hazy. Tastes like a fairly typical balanced pilsner. The hops are a little towards the herbal/woody side, but not overbearingly like some craft pils.

473ml can - this should be a grand sort of offering for this time of year, except that it's still freaking snowing!
This beer pours a slightly hazy, pale golden yellow colour, with three chubby fingers of puffy, rocky, and mildly bubbly bone-white head, which leaves some random wispy cloud form lace around the glass as it lazily subsides.
It smells of grainy and crackery pilsner malt, a hint of dried apple peel, gentle sulfur notes, an ephemeral yeastiness, and some earthy, grassy, and straw-like hop bitters. The taste is bready and doughy pale malt, white crackers, more light sulfur, some muddled pome fruitiness, a hint of gasohol, and some zingy leafy, grassy, and floral noble hoppiness.
The carbonation is adequate in its palate-pinging frothiness, the body a decent medium weight, and more or less smooth, as just a minor estery petrol essence takes things down a notch or so here. It finishes trending dry, the crackery malt and grass/straw hop character pushing in that lingering direction.
Overall - this comes across as a competently rendered version of the style, nice and flavourful in that old-world way. I would call it a proper candidate for lawnmower beer, but it seems that it might be a while before I'll be needing such a thing. At any rate, good stuff!
