At first I thought this was a rebranded Tranquil Piss by the same brewery. Very close.

The swill has that weird pale yellow sports drink color and not much head. I've known much headier blondes than this. I wonder if this was an attempt to replicate a German pissner, probably okay if so. German pissners mostly suck anyway.

The aroma is near non-existent.

The body is VERY thin and the taste is if expired lemonade had an illegitimate baby with one of those Gen Z fizzy drinks.

Total piss. AVOID.

Pours a yellow color with a minimal head that disappears quickly. Aroma of grains and pine. Taste is slightly sweet with a hint of hoppy bitterness at the finish.

It’s good, a little citrusy that I liked. You know, like your mom’s backside.

Pours a clear pale yelow with fine, low head.

Smell is clean and crisp with notes of crackers, lemonade, citrus pell and some florals.

Taste is crisp and crackery with soft bitterness and notes of florals, citrus, citrus peel and grass with a slight hint of corn.

Mouthfeel is medium, well carbonated.

Overall, a nice, easy to drink pilsner.

A: The beer is a little hazy and is light pale yellow in color with a light amount of visible carbonation. It poured with a quarter finger high bright white head that quickly settled down, leaving some lacing on the surface and a narrow collar around the edge of the glass.
S: Moderate aromas of floral hops are present in the nose along with some herbal notes.
T: The taste follows the smell and has additional notes of lime and orange citrus.
M: It feels light- to medium-bodied on the palate and has a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This is a very hop-forward pilsner and is easy to drink.

Canned 05/21/20.
Two 12 oz. cans poured vigorously into a 600 ml. glass with a 1/2 inch white head over a slightly hazy, straw colored body with no lacing. Nice nose of cracker malt (very slight tropical fruit with citrus coming forward as it warms a bit from the Loral hops); and some floral attributes as well. Taste follows with a bit of fruit, but finishing slightly bitter with just a hint of spice. Good feel and overall, a nice welcoming summer quencher to be sure. Hunt, buy, drink!
Cheers to Foam for this great stab at a German Style Pilsner!

12 oz. can. Clear golden. Smells of light bread and grain, a touch of green apple, and light florals. Tastes of sharp but light grain, a bit of florals, and very faint dough. Sharp back end with a lingering hint of green apple. Light body. Drinks fine but isn't a markedly good pilsner.
