Here’s to the prodigal in all of us: a lavish, extravagant German Pils hopped with Tettnanger, Hallertauer, Spalt, & Saphir for a beer that’s crisp, dry, immensely refreshing. Germany’s finest ingredients in one of our best beers yet.

Well it's pretty good but not going to be my top choice in this style.
Aroma is strong but has a slight plasticy note. This is not carried over to the taste tho, which has a notable sweetness and obvious hop bite.
It's acceptable but not my first choice from Lazarus

Nose and taste are a wonderful combination of dough, biscuit, cracker followed by a moderate spicy hop profile. delicious pilsner and very easy to drink.

16oz pint at the brewery 10-5-20.
1/2" white head with short retention.
Golden color pilsner with excellent clarity.
Grassy/weedy hop aroma...a mineral quality and mint.
Light body, medium-high carbonation and crisp mouthfeel.
Very Good.
