Draught. Clear gold pour from brewery. Pretty good stuff overall with the standard lager notes

Fool’s gold? Huh. Okay then. Pours clear gold with a one finger quickly fading head. The aroma is of grainy malt and some fruity notes. Flavor is somewhat sweet with grainy, biscuit malt flavor, a touch of hops, and some indistinct fruity notes. Easy drinking. Decent.

Taster at Akasha. Clear golden to small cap of white head. I have a hard time thinking of this as a Vienna. Light malty, grainy aroma. Taste brings cucumber, heavily. I think something's wrong here. I gave this another shot, because I felt it may have gotten mispoured the first time around. But I'm still getting cucumber. No change

Blue striped can from vintage for $1.50. Not sure if this is amber lager, its pale yellow and clear in the glass. Smell of a plain old pale lager. Taste is also pale lager but not cheap, its rather civilized and easy going. Yep, this is american pale yellow lager all the way. Even keel & friendly. Good bubbly sensations throughout with the co2 level makes it quite refreshing. Yes, a very good session brew that never gets in yer face. I enjoyed this.

12 ounce can into lager glass, canned on 7/25/2019. Pours lightly hazy pale golden yellow color with a 1 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of cracker, white bread dough, and toasted biscuit; with lighter notes of honey, nuttiness, wood, pepper, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. A bit of fruity/yeasty aromas, but not overwhelming. Nice and pleasant aromas with bready malts and light-moderate earthy hop notes; with solid strength. Taste of big cracker, white bread dough, and toasted biscuit; with lighter notes of honey, nuttiness, wood, pepper, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Light herbal, floral, woody, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of cracker, white bread dough, toasted biscuit, nuttiness, wood, pepper, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Great robustness and balance of bready malts and light-moderate earthy hop flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and no hop astringency after the finish. Fairly crisp/clean finishing. very clean on lager flavors, with minimal fruity/yeasty notes. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately bready/grainy, and fairly sticky mouthfeel that is fantastic. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4.5%. Overall this is a delicious Vienna lager. All around nice robustness and balance of bready malts and light-moderate earthy hop flavors; very smooth, refreshing, and fairly crisp/clean to drink the the mellowly bitter/drying finish. Great soft feel, very flavorful and not watery for the ABV. Great clean pils/Vienna malt showcase; with nice Mt. Hood/Sterling hop balance for the style. Minimal residual sweetness with crisp dryness. A very enjoyable offering, and impressively well made style example. A bit paler than expected, but still had great malt character.
