Canned from planet wine. Clear golden pour white head. Kind of like a standard pils bit not the harsh chalky saaz stuff. Pretty excellent

Pours pale hazy gold into a stein. Bright white soapy head with medium retention recedes leaving soapy spots. Mango and tea aromas. Crisp with sweet earthy hay and lemon upfront turning to pith and peel in the lasting finish.

Decent pils. Not sure I can distinguish South African hops varieties yet but I'll take their word on that. Decently crisp finish here. Golden pour with good head. Crisp end.

Straightford hoppy pils, with a notable citrus-dank middle and a lasting herbal-floral hop bite on the finish. Grainy malts add subtle sweetness, while lemon and bread linger on the palate in the fade. Not bad.

Can from Craft Brewed. Pours a clear straw gold with a full finger and a half of white, pillowy foam that lingers. Mineral, grain and crackery malt aromas. As it warms the nose opens up with gooseberry and light persimmon notes. Lemon zest on the palate with more gooseberry. Crisp and clean, light and refreshing. Great mineral-like carbonation that cleanses the palate. Really nice.

Got in a trade with GreenBayBA. 16 ounce can into lager glass, canned on 4/26/2019. Pours slightly hazy pale golden yellow color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and fluffy off white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Thick foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of big lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit, peach, pear, melon, apricot, gooseberry, citrus peel/rind, peppercorn, pine, cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/earthy hops and pale malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit, peach, pear, melon, apricot, gooseberry, citrus peel/rind, peppercorn, pine, cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, woody, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit, peach, pear, melon, apricot, gooseberry, citrus peel/rind, peppercorn, pine, cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/earthy hops and pale malt flavors; with an awesome malt/bitterness balance, and no astringent hop flavors after the finish. Moderately crisp/clean finishing. Perfectly clean on lager flavors, with no yeasty notes present. Moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness and carbonation. Medium-plus carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth and moderately bready/grainy/sticky balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5%. Overall this is an awesome German pilsner! All around awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/earthy hops and pale malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink with the modestly bitter/drying finish. Very flavorful and not watery for the ABV. Everything you would expect from a German pilsner with added unique complexity of African Queen hops. Very vibrant and fairly juicy/dank/earthy hops; with a perfectly balanced clean pils malt backbone. Minimal residual sweetness with crisp dryness. A really enjoyable offering, and outstanding base style example.
