Draft pint at Brews On the Alley in Seneca, SC.
Appearance. Golden-yellow body with a weak white head. With a better head, higher clarity, and more carbonation, it could be Coors.
This is not just lightly colored, it's lightly aromatic for the style. The flavor, however, is moderately strong for a Pilsner, and has a distinctive flavor (bonus points) due to the New Zealand hops. Don't expect a typical German Pilsner.

Another great session beer from Side Hustle. Golden fluid a with a sizable white head. Some decent lacing and while initially quite clear, some chance bits at the bottom of the can introduced a bit of cloudiness..
Nose has light sweet malt notes with a nice hop bite
Taste is quite balanced and delicious. Bready and mild sweetness in the malt with a nice grainy edge. Hops are mildly spicy with a noble core. Finish is short, dry and quenching.
Light crisp feel is matched by excellent carbonation.
A solid overall beer that just fits the bill anytime you want refreshment.
