Look: Very pale yellow with good carbonation. One finger fluffy white heads with great retention, after 5 minutes a 1/4 finger head still covers the top.
Smell: Cloves, spicy hops, lemon.
Taste: Tangy, sweet, herbal. lemons and green melons.
Feel: Nice crisp snap at the top of the palate. Somewhat bitter and sour at the back end.
A gentle session style beer. This beer makes me think of mid afternoon summer pool parties. Would pair really well with BBQ. A solid B +, another solid beer from this new nano brewer.

Pours a bit cloudy, gold in colour, with a large dense head. The smell is a muted hops and grains. The taste is hoppy for a Pilsner, with the typical grainy taste in the background. I get cigar smoke on the aftertaste

473 mL can from the LCBO; dated Oct 3 2019 and served barely chilled.
Pours golden-yellow with good clarity, sporting more than a finger of puffy, foamy white head that settles off within the next couple of minutes. A tight, creamy-looking cap and collar hold together indefinitely, with a sparse spattering of lace also left in its wake; a good-looking pale lager. On the nose, hints of melon and lemony citrus provide a fruity twinge to its foundation of grainy, crackery pale malts and subtle grassiness.
An appealing lager - the dry hop treatment has endowed this brew with a bright American hoppiness, which gives it the air of a mildly-hopped session ale, at least partially. It tastes primarily of grainy sweetness and crackery, bready pale malts, with suggestions of melon by mid-sip as well as a grassy, pithy note developing towards the finish. Slightly (tropical) fruity, grainy-sweet aftertaste that fades quickly. Light in body, with middling carbonation levels that provide a gentle bite to this lager's otherwise smooth texture. Its drinkability is on par with any other quality pilsener, i.e. pretty high.
Final Grade: 3.80, a B+. Ranting aside, Farmer in the Sky is a fine American-ized pilsener that I wouldn't mind returning to. Perhaps most importantly - and unlike a lot of domestic craft lagers - it's priced in line with the Euro equivalents, which means I have very little reason to hesitate to pick it up again. Recommended to lager lovers across the country.

Pours clear, pale straw with just a bit of haze. The crackly, smallish head lasts the whole glass, leaving lots of lace trails behind. Bready, fresh dough malts with herbal, sea air hops and some sulfur in the nose. The taste is replete with grassy, herbal, woody hops with floral and citrusy nuances. Lots of doughy pale malt balance. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with prickly, sparse carbonation. Light to medium bitterness and lots of leafy, grassy hop flavor in the finish.
A nice new world take on a German Pilsner. Grassier and more herbaceous than German examples thanks to the dry-hopping. I'll try it again.
