Canned 10/15/25, drunk 1/14/26, as pictured.
Gently floral hops and a touch of caramel/toast with no real indication of the Simcoe. Guess they were VERY careful with it, which is good, as Simcoe seems like it could easily destroy a lighter lager. Problem is, I'm not getting much else in its place. Just weakly watery grains, vague mineral water....
Wow, this is light. Not thin or horribly watery, just really low in flavor. White bread, light biscuit, light cracker and then some Simcoe bitterness with a touch of pine/grapefruit. No flaws or anything, but also not very compelling in any way. Like the experimentation, but Simcoe does not seem like a great fit for a super light lager.

Growler thanks to LKS. It pours clear yellow - gold with a thick white head. The aroma is soft, fresh, fragrant, mellow, herbal, cracker and white bread. The taste is crisp, clean, dry, bitter, lemon peel, waxy, pithy, peppery spice, straw and white bread with a firmly dry finish. Light - medium body and fine carbonation. Very refreshing and clean. Good stuff.
