Another beer drank at the source in Berkeley, CA. Pours golden yellow, standard 1/2" white head, average retention and clarity. Aroma was hoppy and grains, relatively traditional, lacks the gargantuan dry hop and proprietary hops they often use.
Taste was pretty traditional, with just more noble hops quantity wise. Pilsen malt for sure. Mild fruity lager yeast notes. Floral is often a word you see at this point of a review when the characteristics of the beer are as such. Carbonation is high but appropriate for the style. Malts are heftier than your average pilsner, but average for your average craft pilsner.
All in all, this is essentially Fieldwork's stab at a summertime lawnmower BMC-esque beer, and I think they got what they were going for, I just wonder about their commercial tugjob that describes this as much hoppier than it actually is. I like it, but again, I think they do better with their ales thus far.

A: Moderately hoppy, with some fruitness, lightly foral with a bit of light grains.
A: Golden color, totally clear with a modest uniform white head that has adequate retention. There is light lacing in the glass.
T: Crisp, the beer has moderately high hop fruitiness with floral overtones, bready malts, touch of sweetness, with a moderate hop bitterness on the finish.
M: Medium-light bodied with moderate carbonation.
O: Solid; the beer is definitely drinkable, but the hop fruitiness and floral notes dont particularly shine.
