Canned 2024/06/05
Pours a large foamy bubbly almost 2 finger head with moderate retention, a bit of spotty lacing, mostly clear pale straw color

Nose super doughy, bready, grainy, straw, grainy-sweet pilsner malt, floral herbal noble hops

Taste more grainy-sweet pilsner malt, doughy, straw, bready, etc, soft lager but don't think decoction mash although maybe a single decoction but not super malty depth, fair herbal floral noble hops with med-light getting spicy on the dry crisp finish, lingering med spicy hop bitterness

Mouth is med bod, soft lager, med to a bit higher small bubble frothy carb

Overall solid, nothing extraordinary but a well done pils

 

 

 

I stumbled across a 4pack of this at the local health food store. I drank it straight from the can and found it absolutely delicious.

My 3rd can on 3 different days. Not a fan at all. There's some sour funkiness going on that ruins it for me. I don't see that mentioned in other reviews, so giving the benefit of the doubt that this could be spoiled/oxidized, or just a bad batch.

12 oz can.
Canned 03/26/20.
Moderate to vigorous pour yields a 5/8 inch white head over a near bright straw colored body with some lacing. Nose of cracker, biscuit, and slight grass. Taste mirrors nose fairly closely with a finish of biscuit-y yeast and slightly sweet. Nice feel and overall, highly quaffable and would recommend to any and all pilsner fans out there to see what a mostly IPA brewery can do with a pilsner recipe.
Cheers!!!

This was poured into a stange.
The appearance was a beautiful looking ruddy orange semi-muddy color with a stifled two fingers worth of white foamy head. This fell off stealthily to leave some messy lace.
The aroma carried a fine blend of semi-sweet biscuits, subtle floral sweet hops, even lighter grassy hops and a refined clean pick up of herbal character.
The flavor seemed to meld all of the prior mentioned aromas together mostly in a sweet fashion with a well rounded blend of malts to hops. Mellow aftertaste of malts, crackery and full / subtle floral.
The mouthfeel was almost medium bodied but sat just a touch under. Good carbonation with a fine sessionability about it. Smooth throughout. Nice finish of semi-grassy to full on floral semi-dry and pulled crackery malts.
Overall, I liked this one for me but somewhat different than a true German Pilsener.
