Hazy honey gold under a coarse soapy looking head. Settles to a bubbly ring, no lace. Noticeable guava fruit over soft hops. Mildly sweet, appetizing nose. Bitter hops attenuated by fruit and sourness. A tasty beer with a slightly dry and bitter finish.

Review from notes. Purchase from LCBO for around $3.25 CDN. Served cold into a pint glass.
Appearance - Hazy pale golden color, much plaer than many a pilsner. Decent two fingers of white head that fizzle out pretty quick and a touch of spotty lacing lacing left behind.
Smell - Muted, but tropical, guava and passionfruit being most prevalent with some lightly weedy aromas and a touch of bready goodness.
Taste - Grapefruit, guava in flavor, some bready malts in the background and interesting and good merging of two very different profiles. Light flavors, but ultimately intense enough to make this enjoyable.
Mouthfeel - Medium-light in body lots of carbonation, pairs nicely with the flavors
Overall - Better beer than I thought it would be, light and refreshing with quite a bit of flavor packed into this can. Don't expect to be blown away, but quite solid for what it is.

473 mL can from the LCBO; dated 02/04/2021 and served slightly chilled.
Pours a hazy golden-blonde colour, its body chock full of very fine sediment and topped with over an inch of puffy, foamy white head. It lasts for the better part of five minutes, gradually whittled down to a tight collar and some filmy patches on the surface - looks pretty good, with a modest amount of stringy lacing also left in its wake. The nose is mostly tropical fruits - passion fruit, guava and lemon-lime citrus, with hints of grainy pale malts and orange zest.
A pleasant fruit-infused lager - hints of graininess underneath tropical fruit flavours of guava and passion fruit, but there's not a whole lot else to discuss here. Maybe a hint of pithy grapefruit/indistinct citrus at the finish, but the tropical fruit duo is what persists into the aftertaste, alongside a light touch of grain husk. Light-ish in body, with assertive carbonation that prickles the palate with gusto, remaining active well into the session, resulting in a crisp mouthfeel with a little bit of a juicy smoothness. Tossing this one back quickly would present no issues at all.
Final Grade: 3.63, a B grade. Lost Craft's Summer Session Pils gets a 2 out of 3 in terms of naming aptness - it'd be great in the hot summer weather, and it's definitely sessionable, but I'm not sold on the 'pils' part. In retrospect, this is more well-suited to the fruit beer category, as its underlying lager/pils flavours are more of a background presence vs. the main takeaway of the brew. I expect at least a little bit of noble hop flavour from a pils, but for the life of me, I didn't really notice any... so if it's there at all, it's presumably masked by the fruits. This works fine as a summer thirst-quencher or a novelty fruit beer, but don't expect a typical light lager or pilsner experience.

Pours a bit cloudy, with a loose but thick head. I get tropical fruit and candy on the nose. The taste has the tartness of the guava or passionfruit along side the cereal notes of the Pilsner beer underneath it. Very fizzy mouthfeel. Great summer refresher
