Had on tap at Boatyard Pub and Grille / Dodus Bay NY.
Hard to judge. This is very nice looking hazy gold brew with a decent half inch creamy white head that dissipated to a thin film and solid halo that also had nice lacing. Fairly prominent nose and full flavored.Very nice creamy body.; very smooth and drinkable. Overall a very nice draft, and one that went well with my Fish fry.
Enjoyed.
Problem was it was a nicely smooth somewhat floral grassy Pale Ale. Nothing to indicate it lager let alone Pils. Oh well.
Another good Prison City brew… but ???? Pils.

On tap at Nerdvana in Rochester, NY.
This one pours a clear golden yellow color, with a small head, and lots of lacing.
This smells like lemony and grassy hops, with crackery malts.
This is fairly basic, but well done, with a lightly bitter but refreshing hop bitterness, and a nice crackery and bready maltiness that doesn’t get too sweet.
This is crisp and very clean, with a wonderful drinkability, and a nice clean finish.
I like this one, it’s a little bit more hoppy than your typical pilsner, but nothing ridiculous.

Canned 11/29/21
Not-quite-clear deep gold, with 1.5 fingers of white head.
Smells of lightly-toasted grain, slight honey, spiciness , floral + fruity hop hop aroma.
Taste is mostly dry toast , coriander, and slight fruitiness.
Feel is light, with moderate very fine carbonation bite.
Overall, good. Probably better fresh, & I'm willing to revisit if I see it again. Reminds me of von Trapp Bohemian Pilsner.
