A- I love the cartoon-ish artwork of characters on the label (fries, beer can and a hop cone). Super hazy yellow brew with tons of what looks to be instant potato flakes, but its likely a combo of this and yeast. There is a decent amount of carbonation rising to the top and the lacing is pretty much a non factor. The head is very white and starts about one finger in thickness before settling down to a half ring around the inside of the glass. Not a bad looking beer, but I've seen better.

S- This has a generally sweet scent with plenty of caramel sweet malt, with perhaps some boiled potato. Dry grass, dried crumbled hop leaf aromas, alongside yeast, dry biscuit, and fresh barley kernels round out the profile here.....nothing to brag about but certainly nothing to be offended by.

T- This has a solid malt profile that is quite good, if not perhaps a little starchy from the use of potatoes me thinks.....nice flavorful use of hops, if not a little sweeter than I would have imagined this tasting. Overall, it is bready, yeasty, slightly dry grassy tones, has more robust molasses malty sweetness than a normal Pils and the flavors linger on the palate....very quenching and decent.

M/O- Decent amount of carbonation that provides some zing on the palate, and the mouthfeel is rather full for this style of brew, which I kind of like! One can definitely tell there is something more to this.....and it is quenching, which is great for a hot Summer day such as the one I am trying this on. I would like to, and will get again to enjoy once I get over to the brewery to pick up!
