Bottle shared by a friend. Clear yellow pour with a medium white head. Malty nose with crisp noble hops. Crisp noble hops with a bit of malt and a bitter noble hop finish.

From a 12 oz bottle. Looks like pale lager, smells rather fresh. I’m not sure if pilsners are getting more sharp but this is; well at first then it seems to grow on yah. Tastes like more than 5%. Yes, not like the pils or pilsners when I first started rating; you know, just a little more personality than a macro lager. Quite hoppy sharp, even near the finish. Overall, not too bad, but it did have an unexpected kick at first.

Draft at South Park Tavern. Really floral aroma that almost reminds me of rosewater and candy. Wow, strong flavor. Really bold for a pils. Good.

Sample on tap, during Ohio Brew Week. Clear gold color, minimal white head. A really nice, zesty citrus aroma. Tart taste. Light smooth carbonation. Dry finish. solid brew, worth revisiting

Sample at Jackie O’s as part of Ohio Brew Week (and my 800th Ohio beer). Clear pale golden pour with a medium thin white head that burns away to an outer ring quickly. Top ring of lacing on the glass with spots underneath. Aroma of mild hops and malt. Light-bodied with flavors of grassy hops, herbs and biscuit malt. The finish is lightly hoppy with a short fruity aftertaste. Decent overall.

Draft sample. Poured clear golden color with an average fizzy white head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Medium sour citrus hop aroma. Medium body with a smooth texture and soft carbonation. Medium bittersweet flavor with a medium bittersweet finish of moderate duration. I would recommend this to a freind.

Poured on draft. Pale yellow with a nice white frothy head. Aroma is mildly grainy with a noticeable resiny hop profile. It’s not in your face, but it’s hop profile is there enough to make a difference. Taste is lightly sweet and just a touch bitter. Nice offering.
