One of the best Lilsners I’ve had is some time. Really aromatic and hops are delicious.

Can. White head with lace. Slightly cloudy golden color.

This is a solid beer, but it’s not an amazing pilsner. The dry hopping seems gimmicky. Grassy, citrusy, a bit bitter. Bready malts. Decent beer, but not worth the $3 per can and not super true to style.

Pours a hazy golden color with a slight head and lacing
Aroma has floral hints
The taste follows the nose with a floral flavor
A light bodied decently carbonated beer
A decent Pils

 

NO can date
Pours a med frothy fizzy head with moderate retention, very hazy with a touch of sediment pale golden color, pretty poor clarity for pilsner

Nose light grainy cereal, lemongrass, a bit of herbal hops with some spice notes, touch of corn and pilsner, but a little solventy glue-like aroma

Taste is better thankfully, some pilsner malts with a little grainy-sweet doughy cereal and touch of corn, hops kick in with a grassy spicy flavor, it starts with a nice floral herbal grassy noble hop, but turns to an American spicy character with grassy leafy dry-hop oil thing from the dry hops that overpowers the beer, med bitterness that ramps to a med-high spicy hop finish and a bit dry

Mouth is med bod, med fizzy carb, soft lager

Overall this was meh, def not Aslin level, terrible clarity, a little solventy note on teh nose, dry hops on the taste destroyed the initial great flavor, so in general poorly made, either rushed and didn't lager long enough, I think they gave it diacetyl rest but didn't flocculate well, or fermented more in the can

 

pale gold color with a 2 finger white head that settles to a film leaving very sparse lacing Nose is floral and pleasantly yeasty. The flavor is quite smooth with honey and green tea notes over a pale malt . The lager yeast comes across really well - just no off flavors. Feel is a little soft with a light bitterness and moderate effervescence. This is a really appealing pilsner, lightly sweet and floral from the dry hops.

 

 

A - Light medium gold color with a soft haze and creamy dense lacing.

S - Earthy citrus with light lemon and lemon rind aroma.

T - Light citrus with slight earthiness, and with light pine and citrus bitterness.

M - Thick body and very soft on the palate with a pronounced dryness.

O - A little too thick and not enough carbonation.

Poured from the can into a Libbey style pilsner glass.

Beaming crystal brass light yellow body, with fine hits of carbonation, maybe even a faint light lime green hue on the edges also. Great fluffy and rich rocky bright white head, with a good amount of retention and staying power. Light touches of lace, and a real great top. Great looking pils.

Real varied nose with a hop angle. Soft chewy malts, with touches of honey. There's a good hop angle that goes from tea to floral and herbal classic notes. Varied and expressive and dynamic. Great aroma on this lager.

Palate hits the right spots. Light bodied, but with a real sense of malt depth and presence. Chewy sensing bread mixed with the continuing hop bonanaza. Slight light hop herbal mint in first sip, and finishes with soft tea leaf life flavors. Faint touches of lime without harsh astringency in bittterness on the finish. Light density with clean and hebal tea like qualities.

What a unique pils and super refreshing to drink.

First of all, this is an IPL, not a pilsner. It's fairly light bodied with a lot of hoppiness - tropical fruit, grassiness, and citrus. Light-to-moderate crackery malt backbone. Decent but nothing I'd seek out again.
