Pounder, with hops listed on label identical to separate entry named "Vitamin P", placing here because the ABV is the same and the hops specified in the description are generic enough to include the ones listed on the can: Hay, lemon, cane sugar nose, shitty. Relatively clear, very pale yellow, thin head. Grass and hay on the front, minty grass noble hops on the back. Some maltiness at midpalate. Overriding sweetness that gives the beer a refreshing quality without being cloying. Light body, moderate carbonation. Nicely hopped with good transitions.

Poured from the tap. Clear, pale yellow with white head. Corn malt with a good shot of grassiness. Came as a bit of a surprise, but pleasant.

Can from Berkeley Bowl West. Pours light gold with a white head. Aroma of pale malt and inappropriate hop. Seems more floral than grassy. Med body or so. Flavor is pale malt and something fruity/spicy. There is a bread and bitter aspect in the finish, but it just doesn’t seem pils to me.

Part of the BC Craft Brewers Guild Natural Selections 6 pack (2014). Pours a clean pale golden colour with a bubbly white head, good retention and foamy lacing. Aromas of sweet honey and oranges over the pils malts. The taste starts off the same but the grassy hops take over and the finish is short. Not super dry, but mostly bitter mouthfeel. Nothing like a Euro Pilsner, but a decent North American version with a little more punch, and more micro action (less adjunct).

Part of the BC Craft mix pack.  I like thebottle’s artwork. 5% A clear gold with a fizzy white head a classic pilsner look. Light malts and quite a big floral hop bouquet. The sharp carbonation I saw all the time in Vancouver rather than the soft mouthfeel I’d want. The taste is light cracker malts, a big floral hop hit and a crisp finish. OK I guess.

On tap at Steamworks Burnaby, pours a clear pale yellow with a small white head. Nose is quite floral for a pilsner, with floral, soapy hops, and dry crackery malt. Flavour is dry and crisp, with a good spicy floral hops, dry crackery malt, and a little grassiness. Really well-balanced, dry, crisp and drinkable. One of the best local pilsners. Very good.

Draft - Sweet lemon, light grain and light skunk hops. Pale gold with a decent white head. Bread and grains, medicinal and a bitter long finish. Not great.

2019-08-08, can from The Gull, North Vancouver, 6-3-7-3-13=32
Hazy blond colour. At first the arom ais not impressive, corn; a bit later it shows some delicate note of malt and noble hops. Not too dry; the malt profile has ups and downs, some crackers, some hay, some husks, some 'corn'; the hop flavour is balanced, a bit timid in its qualities maybe, and the bitterness could be stronger.
Overall, a decent Pilsner, but there are a few in the Province that are much better.

Blond color with a greenish hue. Initially the profile of this beer is anonymous, with almost a feeling of corn; after a few sips there are some better elements appearing, some pilsner malt, some crispness, and delicate grassy hops; it's also very smooth, and rather dry; correct bitterness.
Very clean, and quite good; give it some time.
