This wonderful hoppy lager is a new addition to our ever-expanding Exponential (Seasonal) Series. The Crystal hops give it a clean spice while the Calypso hops give it a pleasant, almost fruity aroma. Easy to drink, perfect for a summer day out.

12 oz can into a pilsner glass. Can info: PACK ID DEN 2330 No idea when it was brewed and unable to find info. A: Slightly hazy medium gold color. Minimal head with sparse lacing. S: Pilsner malt biscuit/cracker smell. Light hops barely noticeable. Nice smell overall. T: Sharp crispness of cracker malts hit with a light herbal hop note blending in nicely if subtly. Simple taste but very nice and refreshing. Not as hoppy as I expected. It’s no Prima but pretty good. M: Light body, average carbonation and a slight oiliness. Foam has a nice refined feel. O: This wont revolutionize anything but it is good enough to warrant a purchase or two. I wish Epic would make up their minds what they want to call this. Points taken for shitty job of date coding.

Six pack from HomeBrewStuff. Nice alternative to session IPAs and APAs. Light with mild hoppiness, clear golden with soft, foamy white head. Mostly lager characteristics in aroma and taste, with hop bitterness at the tail end. Perfect summer brew.

From a can this stuff makes a big head. Its pale lager in color, perhaps a little hazy. Has the smell of typical pale ale, would think it is ale fer sure. Has that typical mild APA thing happening, funny they would make this a lager, heheh. Finish reminds me of REM pop song 89 video; a topless lager acting like an APA, WTF?

Sample at the taproom in Denver. Pours a clear pale golden color with a medium white head that evaporates steadily to an outer ring. Spotty lacing on the glass. Aroma of grassy hops, fruit and malt. Light-bodied with flavors of herbal hops, fruit and biscuit malt. The finish is mildly bitter with a grassy hops aftertaste. Decent overall.

12oz can. Filtered pale yellow body. Soapy thin white head. Pretty respectable boho-pils, not sure why this is under premium lager, a contender for lamest beer category on RB, when it says Pils Lager on the label. Moving on...Sessionable, easy light to medium body. Grassy, straw hops tones lead to a true to style malt finish. Has some of that seltzer feel of lesser session IPAs, makes you kind wish they had just stuck with a massive noble hop bill. OK, certainly better than 90% of US Pils.
