355 mL can from the brewery; no packaging date. Served barely chilled.
Pours a cloudy golden-yellow colour with a small amount of sandy sediment eventually settling to the bottom. Situated atop is nearly an inch of soapy, bubbly white head that lasts for two minutes or so, briskly shorn down to a tight collar and a thin cap. A light speckling of lace is scattered onto the glass; looks good to me. Lemon and floral hops on the nose, with suggestions of grainy malts, sourdough bread and apples.
Easy-drinking, with a mellow hop profile that jives well with the bready, crackery pale malt backbone. Hints of lemon and grapefruit come through mid-sip, with floral, grassy hops and orchard fruit rounding out the back end. Moderately low bitterness, with an off-dry aftertaste. Fairly light in body, with soft carbonation that rolls gently along the surface of the palate; smooth, somewhat fluffy mouthfeel with great drinkability. This small can is an insufficient serving size: I could easily drink a few of these in a row.
Final Grade: 3.72, a B grade. Vespa Italian Pilsner is a neat little lager that is worth trying for yourself, if you happen to be passing by Point Edward. A little less aggressively-hopped than some examples of this pilsner variant: some Italian pilsners make it all about the hops, but this is a more even-handed interpretation that I think most lager lovers will appreciate. Well done, Point Brewing - I could see myself drinking this again in the future, but personally, I'm more likely to reach for their Angry Carpenter.
