From a can purchased at the brewery, poured into a pint glass. No date on can.

Appearance: Gold, almost light amber. There's a very slight haze. Not much head, light carbonation.

Aroma: Sweet, some bready malt, stone fruit.

Taste: More malty sweet than most pilsners but balanced by bitterness, more of the latter than a golden ale would have.
Noble and possibly other hops and stone fruit flavor (hops? yeast?) complements the malt. There's a little bread crust. I've mentioned stone fruit to describe an unusual but pleasant aroma and flavor, but I don't know if others would agree with that description.

Mouthfeel: It seems a little under-carbonated to me, but it's pleasant, with medium body. The low carbonation makes me wonder if something went awry, at least with this can.

Overall: It's easy drinking and interesting. I'd take another. This has been entered here as a German pilsner, but it doesn't fit that style. I don't see it as a Czech pilsner, either. The can calls it "CA Pilsner," so there's reason to expect something different.

On tap at the Petaluma River Craft Beer Festival and my last brew there. So not an elaborate review.
But my first from Wolf House, so I will give them a micro-review. They are a Covid baby, started during the lockdown; so not a good start in life. But Wolf House, a family enterprise, is carrying on with a standard portfolio of brews and a comfort food menu that reads appetising enough to drink more beer.

The challenge for Wolf House as the market consolidates is can a small town like Cloverdale support them when there is so much competition in Windsor and other towns on the SMART line.

As for Burning Daylight, it was serviceable but not memorable. It had the lower bitter hops profile of the German Pils (compared to the Czech), but maybe the American palate requires a bit more.
