Pours a lightly hazy, but mostly clear light golden color. Quite effervescent. A thin, frothy white head forms on the beer upon being poured. However it quickly dissipates leaving just some splotchy foam. Aroma has notes of white bread, some light grassy hop notes, and a fleeting hint of toasted corn.
taste has notes of toasted white bread and sweet bread. Mildly sweet. There is a strong hop note presenting as dried grass with just a hint of spice. Feel is light and crisp. Vibrant carbonation. Sweet finish.
Overall a very nice American lager!

16oz can (no date) poured into 16oz tulip. Poured a hazy pale straw color with 3/4 inch of white head that had moderate retention and light lacing.
The aroma was the light grain, soft floral hops of the style, with a notable sweetness.
Similar on the tongue, with the sweetness still being dominant.
The body was, as expected, light and smooth, and had a sweet finish.
Drinkability was fine, no issues, but I wasn't left wanting another.
Overall, a pleasant enough little brew, but in an area that has Chuckanut, Pfriem, and Heater Allen all making top shelf Lagers, they'll need to refine this brew.

Somewhat cloudy golden body with a finger of white foam, good amount of carbonation. Grassy hops, minerals, grainy bread and a kiss of honey aromas. Taste is bready and mineral based, somewhat springy with the hops and cracker malt finish. Feel is bready, slightly bready sweet, and mild crispness. The wife liked it

Clear, light straw hued body; nice carbonation; relatively thin and semi-fizzy head. Excellent aroma filled with notes of herbs and grass; mineral-like; a touch of pear. A very clean and agreeable taste; delicate esters; pear with a touch of sweet apple; low-key bitterness. Fairly light body; crisp; semi-sweet in a delicate way.
What a fine little lager. Unassuming yet inviting when you start sipping it. Very appealing...

Nice showing for the style. Im not a bug lager guy but, truth be told, the art on the can caught my eye then I read some reviews online and decided to give it a go. Glad I did. Its mellow, smooth, a little malty and at 4.8%, you can nurse these bad boys all damn day. Nice.

16oz canned 3-31-20, opened 5-16-20.
2 finger white and rocky head, decent retention falls to a solid cap in a minute. Slightly hazy ale golden color lager.
Muted but clean lager nose, faint bready malt and a faint grassy hop character. Some sulfur. Really have to dig deep to the aroma.
Very good malt doughy profile, the hops let off floral and grassy flavors. Simple, clean and well done.
Full bodied lager has a nice malt weightiness to it and still close to crisp on the mouthfeel. Medium-high carbonation that lifts this one up. Clean medium length finish that's mostly dry. High drinkability.
Very Good to Outstanding.

Slightly foggy straw yellow with a short bubbly white foam head that quickly collapses in airy jumps to a fairly persistent curved quarter pipe collar.
This has a good, crisp and clean semi-bitter bite and is more complex and enjoyable than some other lagers I've had recently, thanks to Tavour. The grain has a hint of wheat, while the hops are herbal and grassy. It's got a toasted exhale after the dry swallow, and features light floral accents at times.

Pale yellow in color, small white head. Slight haze from the Mandarina Bavaria dry hop.
Grainy aroma. Akin to a bag of crush pilsner malt. Very light citrus. Hint of honey.
Nice clean flavor. Once again, I nice pilsner malt character, like a mildly malty cracker. Not a huge hop presence, tad grassy. Grainy, honey like finish.
Crisp mouthfeel, low to moderate bitterness, leaves the palate clean and wanting for more.
Great drinkable beer, imo. Glad I purchased a 4 pack rather than single. Listed as American lager, I find that a bit disingenuous given its use of Augustiner yeast, German malt and hops.

A: The beer is slightly hazy yellow in color and has a light amount of visible carbonation. It poured with a short bright white head that quickly settled down, leaving some lacing on the surface and a narrow collar around the edge of the glass.
S: Light to moderate aromas of grassy hops are present in the nose.
T: The taste follows the smell and has moderate flavors of grassy hops along with hints of pilsener malts. There is a light to moderate amount of bitterness.
M: It feels medium-bodied, clean and quite crisp on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This lager is very easy to drink and has nice grassy aromas and flavors from the hops, along with a good dose of bitterness. I also liked the beer's clean and crisp mouthfeel.
