A - Light straw colored pour with thin lacing and gentle carbonation.

S - Spicy citrus and light spicy mustiness.

T - Musty citrus with light spiciness. Lingering light malt sweetness.

M - Medium body with light thinness around the edges with prickly carbonation and some dryness.

O - An easy drinking pilsner.

Pours straw-like yellow, slight cloudiness, white head, bubbly with sleek top; collapses nicely with pretty good retention.

Nose is prominently citrus, lemon and lime like; little acidity, nicely pithy with zest; floral with something reminiscent of pine; light fruit character, a pleasant subtle malt presence plays role of anchor.

Taste is nicely hop forward with great balanced malt; depth reminiscent of bread and crust, slightly rustic, cracker like in lightness; zesty citrus, woodsy spice, peach skin, resiny.

Light body, so refreshing; hops in no way inhibit drinkability; dry and clean; good hop sticky on the tongue with moderate snappy bitterness; this beer gives off a great “take the next sip” sensation; nothing lingers but a parched like smacky feel that makes you sip again.

Highly drinkable and well constructed beer; strikes a beautiful balance of great malt character and hop presence; the bitterness and sticky round it out to produce a great beer with great snappy character.

Beginning to really like this breweries offerings. Picked up this brew for .99 on a single rack & with a canoed on date of 8-8-25. At 5%abv, and not really coming across as a pretentious hop bomb, this one looks good in the TALL lager glass. Lemony yellow, slightly hazy, and a nice fluffy 2 finger head, that is stark white. Decent carbonation. Nice smelling hops, more of the floral nature. Nice lager. Very crisp. Not too hoppy - but hoppy enough to slake your thirst. DRY on the finish. Not resiny, hoppy. Not slick. Clean. Easy to crush. I’ll buy it again. Cheers!
