Ah its almost time for Burning Man so why not run a burner inspired beer from the county next door to Burning Man. I should also note this is the first review ever for this beer on this Next Glass owned website. Pioneer, hero, I don't know, you choose the verbage for generating content possibly for the less fortunate. Shoulda come with a warning.

Pours a kind of bright golden color with decent clarity into a Sierra Nevada ESB pint glass, with 1/3" white head on top on a late spring day on the grill. Right away the appearance seems to defy the commercial tug job about this being "malty". And for the better, its a Czech pilsner not a porter. The aroma has Saaz hop like lemon floral notes.

The taste pushes a notion of pilsner malt, herbal, floral hopping, high carbonation mouthfeel. I'm not sure if its my first lager from the Depot, but its a respectable one. Straw, hay, fields of amber painwaves or whatever the saying is. The yeast isn't really noticeable though.
