Golden pour with a white head. Really nice malt aroma of bread and biscuit. Some hints of straw along with floral hops. Maybe a bit of grass. A decent yeast quality, too. There’s a nice malt sweetness to the flavor of bread and biscuit. Really easy to drink. Lightly hopped with some grass, straw, and floral notes. Just a hint of bitterness on the finish.

Pint at Tylers Apex. Ok aroma. Sweet. Grassy corny. Clean golden orange color. Ok head and lace. Bitter flavor..medium body creamy mouthfeel, dry finish. Good. Easy to drink. Kind of sweet in the scheme of things.

Draft at Brickwall. Poured a crystal clear light straw with a ton of rising effervescence and a large bright white frothy head. Aroma of veggies, wet old bread and honey, touch of old peanut shells. Fuller bodied with stronger carbonation and a solid touch of hops bitterness on the end. Flavor isn’t quite as vegetable heavy as the aroma but it’s there, grains, honey topped bread crusts. The more I sip this one the more I like it.

Draft. Light golden pour with white head. Citrus, spices and light malt aroma tones. Flavor is bland with some light citrus and lemon peel, spices and malt hints.

Clear yellow with a thin fizzy white head. Light grainy body smells like rice and grass. Finishes like a lager with a touch of hay.

Draft at ballast point with Linh. Pours a bright, clear yellow Body with thick white lacing. Aroma is bitter pils, grass and light pee. Mouthfeel is rough - bitter and dry pils, bitter grass, and a touch of vanilla.

On tap at Good Dog.Pours a clearish yellow gold. Small white head, good lace. Aromas of toasty biscuit malt, delicious fruity hops. Taste is crisp apple, sweet malts, ultra hoppy, nice spice mixed in, almonds, vanilla.

On Draft. Pours a golden colour with a slight haze, Bready malts and some citrus on the nose. I get bready malts and hay on the palate and a fair amount of citrus, perhaps too much for a pilsner.

On tap several times in the last week. Pours with a lightly hazed/keller gold hued body with a fully retentive white head that leaves great lace. Aromas are strongly hoppy, herbal, slightly rustic, light tea notes, medium bready malt character, dry, grassy, hoppy and clean. Flavors are bready, soft pils like malt, clean, herbal hops that finish a bit grassy. Really crisp. Very light apple like finish, low sulfur. Lively bubbles and dry with medium-low body. A really decent Pils.

Taster at brewery. Pours crisp golden, light thin lacing of foam. Sweet Riesling qualities in nose and taste. Clean and a great easy drinker.
