Tap @ 5SN. Cloudy yellow-orange, no head, nice lace. Aroma of outside. Smells of grass and straw. Tastes of straw, sharp hop bite, lemon peel. Finishes with a harsh hop bitterness that makes you want the next sip. Overall, an unfiltered, dry hopped, European later... yums

Rating: 3.4/5.0
Drinkability: 7/10
Score: **+ /4

Appearance: Considerably hazy, very dark golden body with a 1/5-inch-high white head.

Smell: Slightly grainy-hinted Pilsner malts with a gentle note of crusty bread. Then, in comes a low but unyielding floral, herbal note with a light backing of dried lemon rind.

Taste: Pale, pils German-born maltiness with a scant graininess and bready character to it. Very low hint of honey with an equally light sweetness imparted. Touch of lemon with some firm leafy aspects as the moderate bitterness arrives. Drying, bitterish finish with a last minute pop of lemongrass.

Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation.

Overall: It’s certainly not the brightest, clearest looking lager around, but it is tasty.
