Light malty notes up front with hints of toast bread, followed by smooth Munich malt and a crips finish. This is the first spring seasonal Alley Kat Brewing has ever produced.

Clear and bubbly with a nice light gold color and pours with a finger and a half of foamy white colored head that has good amount of retention to it and leaves nice curtains of lace on the glass.
Aroma is light and crisp with a noble/ grassy hops and a hint of citrus peel. Crisp tasting with a surprisingly hoppy forward, moderately bitter with a nice grassy noble hop bite to it with a trace of citrus rind like bitter kumquat.
Light, clean tasting body with a faintly sweet crackery malt with a ghostly trace of toasty nuttiness to it and a highish carbonation to it.
Very faint herbal notes on the back-end hints of mint and rosemary with light lagery yeast notes of the finish that settles in with the faintly lingering grassy hops on the aftertaste

341ml bottle poured into tulip.
Pours a clear, bright honey yellow with one finger of off-white head that leaves mossy boulder lace as it recedes.
Smells of unsalted crackers, apple skin, mineral water and fresh-cut grass.
Tastes of crisp, crackery pale malt, dried apple slices, more mineral water and more grassy hops.
Feels light and peppy. Light bodied with fizzy carbonation. Finishes dry.
Verdict: Recommended. Perfect for trying to convince yourself that your city is no longer in the grip of a vicious cold snap.

341ml bottle - subtitled 'Penhold Pilsner', so named after the town from which they procured the Alberta malt herein.
This beer pours a clear, bright pale golden yellow colour, with three fingers of puffy, finely foamy, and mildly fizzy bone-white head, which leaves some scattered snow rime lace around the glass as it slowly recedes.
It smells of gritty and grainy cereal malt, some tame pome fruitiness, a hint of lager yeast, some stoney flintiness, and very understated leafy, musty, and grassy green hop bitters. The taste is grainy and crackery pale malt, baked red apples, a touch of gasohol, and more laid-back earthy, musty, and herbal hoppiness.
The carbonation is adequate in its palate-mollifying frothiness, the body a decent medium weight, and generally smooth, but for a wee acridity pretty much there from the get-go. It finishes off-dry, the local-ish malt exhibiting a bit of lingering sass.
Overall - this comes across as, once again, a Canadian blending of two other foreign styles, in this case Czech and German pils. But given the ownership of this here brewery, I will demur to the latter, and further state that this is a well-made, and yes, certainly 'poundable' offering. Prost!
