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.

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.

12oz bottle courtesy of jstax. Cheers, Jeremy! Pours a clear orange-yellow with a white head. Nose is corn, some light malt, and some grassy hops. Flavor follows: grassy hops lead the way with light malt and mild sweetness behind. Light in body and ok overall; lingering hops in the finish.

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.

This one poured a clear bright yellow color with a white head. Aroma was of light citrusy hops, and some grassy and crackers. Flavor was of crisp rice, floral and fruity hops, and a grainy finish. Not too shabby.

Pale golden color out of the bottle with a short lived white head. Light grain and lemon zest nose. Some raw grain flavors with a strong lemony taste and something metallic in the back. Long, green bitterness in the finish. Pretty standard craft pilsner.

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

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.

Clear golden with a frothy white head. Aroma is light, with grainy malts, sweetness, and some earthy hops. A bit of floral comes in the flavor but mostly earthy hops and light grain. Not much going on here but not offensive at all. Would be a great tailgating beer.
