12 oz. can. Pours a clear pale golden color with a white head. Aroma of light citrus and grains. Taste is grains, citrus, floral notes. Clean and crisp. Quite flavorful for a pale lager.

On tap at the brewery. Nothing like an expertly crafted lager. Beautiful to look at, full of flavor, very satisfying. I could drink this for a while ( that says a lot.

Can, small bubbly head, slightly pale and a bit hazy orange color, herbal hoppy aroma with some citrus, hint of light bready maltiness, quite subtle, herbal hops flavor, empathic bitterness, mild maltiness behind it. lingering bitter aftertaste. Excellent hoppy lager, textbook stuff.

Can in the limo van on the way to JFK. Big thanks to the Sandman. Pours clear, yellow-gold with a foamy white head. The nose has some biscuits, hay, grain, faint citrus, bread crust. Great flavor, super well balanced, with some further bread and biscuits, sourdough, cereal, slight lemon rind, light bitter straw. Light in body with average carbonation. Nicely balanced finish with a touch of tangerine meringue, cereal, more biscuits. Delicious beer. So quaffable.

Pale gold, aroma is light yeast, floral hints from the dry hopping. The body and carbonation is normal. The flavor is clean with some of the hops showing in the finish. Very well for the style. I sampled at the source inna 10 oz glass.

Can thanks to CLoaker! Pours hazy butterscotch, medium off-white head, dissipates slowly, nice lacing. Aroma is citrus, grass, hay, dankness. Flavor is light sweet, light bitter, citrus, dank notes. Light body, creamy mouthfeel. Pretty darn tasty. Another of the line of India Pale Lagers that are taking over the lager leaderboard on RateBeer.

Received in trade. Reviewed from notes.
The appearance had a hazy golden yellow color with a decent transparency to it, enough to see a soft ever so small carbonation rising at a moderate pace, white foamy head rises just a bit and falls adequately like a normal American Pale Lager. The llacing is sporadic and kinda all over the place.
The smell had crisp grains, light corn, slightly spicy and has what seems to be some lemon zest (I think).
The taste was at first bitter but lends a slightly sweet side to try to come out. There isn’t any aftertaste and it has a dry crisp finish.
On the palate, it sits about a light on the body and is pretty sessionable. Carbonation is good for an American Pale Lager and for me as there’s a nice crisp texture rolling about my mouth and tongue.
Overall, hey, what a nice American Pale Lager and in cans. Holy cow, I only poured it out for a proper review, but honestly, next time if there ever is, well I wouldn’t mind having this fishing and right outa the can.

Sampled at the 2014 Untapped festival in Fort Worth. Pours a hazy pale gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has lots of pine with a good amount of grass and a sweet grain backing. Flavor has notes of grass and pine with some grass and a touch of sweetness.

Got in a trade with Cyde. 12 ounce can into lager glass; no canning date, but should be pretty fresh. Pours lightly hazy golden amber color with a 1 finger fairly dense white head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Light spotty lacing clings down the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big tangerine, lemon zest, peach, mango, pineapple, floral, grass, bread, light caramel, and floral/yeast earthiness. Very nice aromas with good complexity and balance of hop, malt, and yeast notes; with good strength. Taste of tangerine, grapefruit, lemon zest, peach, mango, pineapple, bread, light caramel, floral, grass, and floral/yeast earthiness. Light floral bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of citrus, pineapple, peach, mango, bread, light caramel, floral, grass, and floral earthiness on finish. Very nice complexity of citrus/tropical hop flavors with balanced malt sweetness; with a great malt/bitterness balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Medium carbonation and body; with a smooth and lightly crisp mouthfeel that is good. Alcohol is very well hidden with minimal warming present after the finish. Overall this is a very nice hoppy pale lager style. Nice complexity and balance of hop and malt flavors; and very smooth to drink. A very enjoyable offering.
