10oz pour is a clear gold, hardly any head. Nose has light fruit, like berry, malt, candy. Flavor has berry, corn, perfume. Finishes off dry. Weird.

16 ounce can into lager glass, canned on 11/27/2018. Pours slightly hazy pale golden yellow color with a 1-2 finger dense and rocky white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice dense foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of lemon, cracker, white bread dough, toasted biscuit, wood, pepper, pine, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance of pale malts and earthy hop notes; with solid strength. Taste of big lemon, cracker, white bread dough, toasted biscuit, wood, pepper, pine, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, herbal, floral, woody, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of lemon, cracker, white bread dough, toasted biscuit, wood, pepper, pine, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Great robustness and balance of pale malts and earthy hop flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and no lingering hop astringency after the finish. Moderately crisp/clean finishing. Perfectly clean on lager flavors, with no fruity/yeasty notes present. Moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness and carbonation. Medium-plus carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth and moderately bready/grainy/sticky balanced mouthfeel that is great. Light lingering resins through the glass. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5.1%. Overall this is a delicious German pils. All around nice robustness and balance of pale malts and earthy hop flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink with the modestly bitter/drying finish, not aggressive. Very flavorful and not watery for the ABV. Awesome clean pils malt showcase, with perfectly balanced noble hops. Minimal residual sweetness with crisp dryness. A very enjoyable offering, and impressive spot on style example.

16 oz can from Belmont Station. Almost clear golden pour with a rather thick fluffy head that eventually subsides to a thin skin. Full bready, grainy aroma. Taste is more of the Fine Malt backbone with just a kiss of Hops at the back, giving it the perfect bitter finish. This is very close to the German style, one of the most authentic since I've been back stateside. Really hits the spot.

Pour is a clear goldne with a large white head. Aroma is clear pale malts and a grassy hop. Flavor is some nice dry, biscuit malt with some green oily hops resin left on the tongue. Pretty good easy drinking, almost chuggable pils.

Pours clear yellow gold into a shaker. Bright white head with medium retention recedes to skim surface. Cracker and citrus aromas. Crisp with hay and earthy citrus front to back. Lasting noble finish.

16 oz. cans purchased at Spruce Creek Provisions. Clear golden color poured into proper glassware. Aromas of light Saaz like hop, grain, and dry grains. Flavor is clean and crisp. Mild Pils malt to give a subtle honey hint. Corn husk. Exceptional balance of malt and hop. Clean fresh aftertaste. Very tasty!
