Clear yellow with a small white head. Aroma is grainy, fruity and sweet. Flavour has a noticeable citrus tinge (oranges). Very clean tasting and easy to drink. Short, grainy finish with a little orange peel. A good session lager on its own merits, the low price makes it an exceptional one.

341 bottle from brewery. Pours a slightly hazy pale yellow-gold with minimal white head. Light grainy aroma. Taste is primarily sweet and grainy with a sort of fruitishness at the end. Surprisingly decent body given how watery it looks.

Bottle from secret santa. Yikes. Very thin body, rice-y and very bland, incredibly watery. Not glaringly flawed but this tastes like the OG was 1.005. There is simply nothing there. Could easily substitute for water in a pinch. The aroma has some redeeming qualities though, moderately minty and floral with some herbal notes.

Bottle from matt7215. Thank you Matt! Slightly hazy yellow pour with a medium fizzy head. Pour retention and lacing. Slightly bitter grassy aroma. Taste is grass, grain and a sour fruitiness, not quite citrus. Medium body. Definitely flavor for a pale lager!

Bottle from the brewery- Pours into the snifter, a gold sparkling body. Head is frothy but short lived, leaving little lace. The aroma is quite grassy, and full of lemon zest, with subtle malts and hay. This is very fresh and full of lemon and biscuit malt flavours, with malty sweetness with a good hop bite towards the finish. Spritzy, assertive bubles. A very good pale lager bordering on pils territory. If I were a local, i’d be all over this one all the time.
