Straw golden with a white head. Sweet tropical citrus aroma, light biscuit malt, floral notes. Finish is lightly dry and with medium bitterness. Very thirst quenching. Almost a cross between a pils and a session IPA in flavor profile. Has a bit more of a hop profile than a standard pils but with the clean and crisp finish you’d expect. Very well done.

Pour is a hazy straw with a large white head. Aroma is a decent bready malt with some citrus peel hops. Flavor is a surprising super dry pils malt with something like a roasted oat in the background. Not much of a hop presence which is kind of dissapointing considering there a 5 different varieties used but that rich malt is the star of this show.

Courtesy of Matt, can
Hazy blond color. Very nice aroma of crisp malts, hint of hay and chamomile, then light citrus zest. Bone dry, but with juicy hops, crackery malts zesty final.
Excellent.

12 oz. can, pours a hazy yellow with a small white head. Aroma is big on the grassy hops upfront, followed by some melon, and crisp crackery malt. Flavour is crisp and punchy, with notes of melon, grassy hops, citrus and crisp crackery malt. Dry, punchy and with a wonderful hoppiness. My kind of pilsner. Excellent.

Can. Pours clear golden, medium white head, dissipates fairly quickly, good lacing. Aroma is floral, citrus, lemon, a bit grassy, cat piss. Flavor is light plus sweet, light plus bitter, floral and citrus hops, grain, grass, light bathroom. Light body, soft mouthfeel, lingering bitterness. Nice effort, but Citra hops just don’t seem to work as well in lagers. They always seem to bring in a urinal note that I could do without.

Can from Final Gravity. Pours light gold with a white head. Aroma is very mixed fruit - citrus for sure. Med body. Thanks to foamy carbonation. Flavor is bready with some citrus and mixed fruits. Something like melon towards the end. Maybe a little grass shows up. Rather mild in flavors but quite nice, finishing just short of dry; it’s decently bitter. Easy drinker.
