Bhavana threw a dash of oats into the bready, Pilsen malt base to give it a touch more body. And they hopped it with Crystal for floral aromas and an herbal bitterness.

From Beer Drop, best by January 13th 2027.
Pours a clear pale gold with plenty of foam, retention and lacing very good.
The smell is orange citrus with some grass, light fruit notes.
The taste is orange citrus, some grass, pretty bitter, dry, toasted or cracker malt, bit of bread.
Medium bodied, this is good but I need not drink this again.

Standard pour yields no discernible head, rather just a faint lopsided bone white colored lacing that is very quick to fade away... Color is a pale straw yellowing gold... Nose of wort in an active brew kettle and oats are at the forefront... Some lemon zest and a faint hop presence linger beneath the surface... The palate is not was expected... Cereal grains, noble hops and a hint of lemon... Good depth and complexity for the style... Feel is on the lighter side of medium bodied... Clean and crisp with a good bite to it... Very nice, well rounded and highly enjoyable Pilsner... A job well done...

Clear, light gold body; almost no visible carbonation; thin, white head, sudsy. Nice light grain nose with just a hint of herbal spiciness. Agreeable flavor; toasted grain; light to moderate hop bitterness; light herbal undertone. Medium-light body; gentle toasted warmth; lightly edgy metallic bite.
I waivered lot with my scores. My initial impressions weren't bad yet taste and mouthfeel didn't provide much 'wow factor' initially. While the appearance and smell remain somewhat weak, the taste and mouthfeel did develop nicely as the beer warmed a bit more.

A Tavour Treat. Pours a gold color with a minimal head that disappears quickly. Aroma of grains and lightly roasted malts. Taste is peppery. Crisp and dry.

12oz can poured into a snifter
A- pours a hazy golden color with a three-finger foamy and pillowy head that engulfs the glass, eventually settling to one-finger and leaving some lacing behind
S- toasted pilsner malt, floral, spicy and peppery hops, grass, orange peel, lemon, crackers
T- lemon and grapefruit forward hop note up front, followed by some spicy grassy hop notes. Mid-palate gives toasted pilsner malt that adds notes of crackers. The finish gives more citrusy hops and toasted malt
M- medium-light body with moderate carbonation leads to a foamy mouthfeel and a crisp dry finish
O- a full flavored, yet well balanced pils

Drinking this at my favorite tap room in Greenville NC, Tapped Drafts and Crafts.
Poured from a tap into a pint glass.
Looks golden yellow with a nice foamy head that dropped quickly with light lacing.
Smells very lightly bready, floral citrusy, lemon, and sweet.
Taste follows the nose nicely citrus forward.
Mouth feel is medium light for the style and not quite so soft feeling with a nice crisp finish.
Overall a nice Pilsener, sessionable, and I might order again.
Cheers!

Aroma is big citrus/citric acid and pale malts/grains. The flavor is light citrus/fruit, malts/pale malts and a dryish/spicy hop/mildly sweet finish.
