I don't see a date listed on the can or the label.
Appearance: The body is a light gold color with a lot of visible carbonation. It has just a slight enough haze to make itself known but it doesn't seem to fuzz anything that is visible through the glass. The head is medium-sized and somewhat creamy textured but also fluffy looking. It has very good retention and it has a nice smooth slope of lacing on the glass.
Aroma: There is a light noble hop aroma and a slight bit of mineral scent. There is an aroma present but it takes a touch of work to draw it out.
Taste: Up front there is a sweet tasting sugar and cereal grain flavor. It tastes almost like a breakfast cereal up front. Towards the middle the sweetness stays but also picks up a bit of herbal character which is nice. The herbs in the middle have a touch of mint and rosemary quality. Each sip really brings out that middle-of-the-mouth herb character which seems to be the highlight of this beer. Towards the back of the mouth there is a bit of lemon character and this fades into the aftertaste where there is a somewhat lingering sweetness.
Mouthfeel: It is in the middle-to-upper light bodied with medium-high carbonation and present but mild hop bitterness. Drinkability is pretty good in the beer and it has a nice dry finish that is also refreshing.
Overall: The label says that this is a "Foeder Aged Bohemian Style Pilsner" and that it is "5.0% ABV." The herbal qualities of the beer are very nice and both the texture and mouthfeel are great. There doesn't seem to be any obvious notes from the Foeder, which is different from some of their earlier beers. Aside from that the beer is still very tasty and enjoyable. I could drink it again and I would recommend it.

Pours a clear spritzy pale golden straw with bright white pillowy soapy head. It has quite the nose on it. Lime zest, lemongrass, it's perfumey without being too herbal. It's very citrus zest forward - lime zest being the impression I get - which is my impression of most noble hopped lagers. There's a subtle white grape tang on the finish in a fruit snacks kind of way. I dig this.
