A traditional German style Pils, golden in colour with a delicate maltiness balanced by spicy and herbal hops. Fermented with a traditional lager yeast from Munich this beer is then cold-conditioned until it meets the brewer’s standards.

Clear pale gold with a tall, effervescent head. Delicate cereal malt nose, very mild, a little floral. Light malt body, nicely crisp. Solid Pilsner fare

473ml can - nice to see this brewery's wares back in Alberta, though now under the auspices of their still relatively new overlords, Howe Sound.
This beer pours a slightly hazy, pale golden yellow colour, with four fingers of puffy, rocky, and mildly bubbly off-white head, which leaves some decent scattered cloud form lace around the glass as it very slowly and lazily subsides.
It smells of grainy and bready pale malt, some biscuity white crackers, a hint of free-range toastiness, and some plain leafy, grassy, and wet straw-like hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy pale malt, wet breakfast biscuits, a touch of Euro gasohol astringency, some subtle earthy yeastiness, and more understated leafy, weedy, and dead grassy green hoppiness.
The carbonation is quite active in its swirling and penetrating frothiness, the body a solid medium weight, and sort of smooth, as a sense of phenolic otherness starts to mess about a bit too much here. It finishes trending dry, with the pilsner-esque malt lingering amongst the remains of the wan hop day.
Overall, this is an approachable and drinkable enough version of the style (the brewery does not proclaim it to be a Pils, of any stripe, so good on them), with a certain edginess that does indeed invoke in me thoughts of past bicycles stolen. Not the intent, probably, yet the effect is all the same.
