Poured a seethru light gold body with minimal head and lace. Light, grassy, pils malt aroma. Smooth, clean, slightly sticky body with a great balance between light and grassy pils malt and a touch of earthy hoppiness and breadiness, and finishes light and easy to drink.

Bought locally, canned May 15th.
Gorgeous pour with a 2 finger head of foam, excellent retention and very good lacing.
Smell is hoppy as in piney, some grass, toasted malt.
The taste is piney, grassy, toasted malt, quite flavourful for 4.2%abv. Same abv as some macro light Lagers.
Body is better than I reckoned it would be.
A go to for me until I can't find it anymore.

Pin Seeker pours a clean golden color with a small, long-lasting, and lacing head. The aroma is light, with bright cereal notes. The flavor is bright, clean, and crisp. Light, cereal notes, and very light. Good feel. Overall, it's a nice pilsner, lighter.

L: Pours a mostly clear light straw color with a sudsy white head. Great retention.
S: Fresh bread with slight lemon and honey
T: Follows the nose with bready malt. Grassy hop bitterness is higher than expected, but welcome.
F: Light, crisp, dry
O: Excellent Pilsner. I want this with pretzels.

L: Pours pale light lemon yellow w light yeast in suspension, a 1.5" bright white rounded creamy head w VG retention to frothy edge foam, steady carbo bubbles, random sticky light lacing.
S: Fresh white Vienna bread, lightly floral, yeast, grains, a hint of citrus, pastry dough.
T: Bright & sweet malts, a tough of honey, wildflowers, very light bitterness, a hint of pastry dough, lemongrass, affably pale & sweet grains.
F: Bright, crisp light-bodied feel w a fast and moderately drying soft n' smooth finish w a light linger.
O: A very EZ drinking and great tasting American take on German Pils. It ticks all the boxes. Would really like to try it on tap. It has an exceptionally noteworthy finish, is well balanced, gentle and is excellent in its style.

Clear golden pour with a white head. Smell and taste are clones: floral toned light yeast, biscuit, white bread, faint buttery malt, and light grassy hop finish. Feel is crisp, clean, bready and malty with some froth. Exactly what it set out to be: a light crusher that is well made

On tap, pours a clear, light straw color. Dense white head. Excellent pilsner, with a nice hit of bitterness in the finish.
