I've had this a couple times. I'm not quite sure if it's evolving or if the other beers I've had in the same session have affected my perception.

Light, clear amber with a small head that dies down quickly.

On top of the classic lager notes, with a touch, (just a touch), of extra hops that normally aren't present in most lagers, there is this flavor I couldn't quite put my finger on for the longest time. It's lychee. Or longan if you prefer. Same flavor profiles. Truly. That is the essence, the backbone, of this beer.

It's odd, smooth, crisp. I liked this a lot the first time I had it. I'm not sure where I stand now. It's probably better by itself in a full pint glass.
