Pale and dull. Fusel and grass nose. Flabby malts, a bit husky, touch of hop but it drifts away into big rockiness.

500mL can, pours a clear golden blonde with a tiny head. Nose is very light, with notes of light spicy grassy notes. Flavour is fairly dry, with notes of spicy grassy notes and not a whole lot else. Inoffensive, to be fair, but not very pleasing. Not a good pils.

Decent for style. Nice saaz infusion here, with enough to give this pilsener a kick. Pours golden clear without much head or lacing. Crisp, slightly saazy bitter finish. Average carbonation. Initial smell is a little off, though. Something a little like meted cheese here. Tap at Arrow and Loon.

A golden pils with a thin white head. In aroma, sweet grassy malt with grassy character, light chalky notes, so-so.. In mouth, a sweet fruity malt with light grassy Saaz hops, watery bodied, decent. On tap at Arrow and Loon.

Can: Poured a light yellow color lager with a medium size white foamy head with OK retention. Aroma consists of lightly sweet malt base with light dry floral notes. Taste is also dominated lightly sweet malt notes with some dry floral hoppy notes. Body is light with good carbonation. This is not a bad beer overall but would have benefited from additional hops presence.

Bottle - Sweet, grassy and some hops. Gold and fizzy with a head that lasted seconds. Quick bite and fades away to nothi ng. Typical sweetness as is common in these mass brands. Only marginally better than the macro.
