Pours pale yellow with a thick white head. Aroma of sweet malt, molasses. Taste has resinous, oily hops, some grape must, cedar. Palate has lingering resin, oily mouthfeel, pine. Weird pilsener.

Taster pour at Craft Beer Race New Haven. Appearance is pale yellow (urine-like), with mild sparkle, small head, bit of lacing. Aroma is Pilsner malt, noble hops, cracker, vaguely metallic. Taste is strong cracker--rich, like wheat thins--cardboard. Palate is medium bodied with thick texture, soft-to-average carbonation with finish as taste. Overall true to the pilsner style with the taste, while not unique, is strong.

New England Bucket List Trip #62. 12 ounce can from Amity, New Haven. Pours a slightly hazy straw with a large frothy white head. Good head retention. Aroma of doughy malt and snappy herbal hops. The taste is grassy malts, bready malts, mild apples and butter. Medium bodied, well balanced. Nice beer.

Can. Pours a hazy gold with small frothy white head that lasts. The aroma is strong wheat grass and skunk. Thin mouth with strong wheat grass and light dryness. Decent.

Trader Joe’s, Darien sixer: Pours a golden color with a white head. Aroma is light grassy hops, some lemon, pilsner malts. Taste is quite hoppy for a pilsner, so it is nice and bitter. Crisp, refreshing, and easy to drink.

Canned or bottled? Cloudy pastel gold, fine low head. Malty pilsner nose, citrus hops. A bit of DMS corn. Flavor of citrus, cabbage, nise hops but too much veggie DMS. OK.

Can courtesy of Adam of Somalia, thank you sir! Cloudy pale yellow fluffy white head, delicate lacing. Aroma of white pepper, hay, light dust. Taste is pretty clean and crisp, with a bit of biscuit, pepper, white bread. Not bad.

Sample from a can at the "Beer Tasting on the Front Porch". Thanks to JaBier for sharing as he got it in a trade for a bottle of water at DLD. The beer is a clear yellow-gold color with a thin fizzy white head that burns away quickly. Spotty lacing on the glass. Mild grassy hops in the nose. Light body with flavors of hops, bready malt and hay. The finish is lightly hoppy with a short grainy aftertaste. Slightly above average overall.

I really wanted to rate this more highly but after 2 samples, and certainty over the second one’s freshness, I can’t say I love it. Pale gold color. Dirty and soapy nose. (is that an oxymoron?) Touches of sulfur and spucy hop in the flavor. Malts are grainy. Finish has a light bitterness otherwise pretty empty.
