Pours clean and crisp. Bright, almost lemony hops. Spicy, even, from the noble hopping. Lots of corn adjunct comes across, especially as it warms. I enjoyed this tremendously.

12 fl oz pull-tab can:
Spicy grassy Noble hops give this a blip of bitterness on the front end, but it mellows out into a slightly starchy pilsner malt-driven lager in due course. Not as clean drinking as many of the better American brewed German pilsners (Live Oak's other pilsners amongst them) with hints of breadiness and crackery malt creeping in, but it's certainly refreshing and drinkable.
Low minerality is slightly noticeable. I taste no adjunct, American hops, or other such nonsense.
Slightly dry, slightly coarse, but still refreshing. Perfectly carbonated.
It's a likable little brew but I wouldn't count it amongst Live Oak's finest. Still, it's a good bit better than most American attempts at the German Pilsner and avoids the usual pitfalls (overhopping, malt bills that taste off, overcarbonation, use of subpar malt).
Low B- / WORTHY

This one pours an extremely light straw yellow color, with a small head, and lots of lacing.
This one smells like floral and flowery hops, light grain sweetness, and grassiness.
The color gives away that this is an extremely light beer, but there's still a lot to love about the taste of this one. The hop character is quite floral and refreshing, with a bit of bitterness and herbal sweetness, along with a light crunchy and bready malt backbone.
This is very light bodied, but incredibly refreshing and drinkable.
I could drink an alarming amount of this beer overall.
