16 oz. can from Total Wine, Scottsdale, AZ. Pours a clear gold color with a bright white head and very good retention. Decent lacing. A light grainy aroma and not much else. As advertised, it tastes like a pilsner lite. Lightly bitter pilsner malt with a clean, crisp mouthfeel. Medium-light body. Nothing special, just a good light summer beer.

Sampled from the tap at the Mesa brewpub. Pours a clear light straw yellow with a white head that dissipates completely. Aroma has straw and sweet grains with a touch of grass underlying. Flavor is similar mainly sweet grains and straw with a touch of grass backing.

Got in a trade with AZBeerDude72. 12 ounce can into lager glass, canned on 5/17/2019. Pours slightly hazy pale golden yellow color with a 1 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with great 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 lemon, cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, wood, peppercorn, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. A bit fruity/yeasty aromas, but not overwhelming. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance of pale malts and light-moderate earthy hop notes; with solid strength. Taste of lemon, cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, wood, peppercorn, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate herbal, floral, woody, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of lemon, cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, wood, peppercorn, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Great robustness and balance of pale malts and light-moderate earthy hop flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance; and no astringent hop flavors 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-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 4.3%. Overall this is a delicious Bohemian pilsner. All around nice robustness and balance of pale malts and light-moderate earthy hop flavors; very smooth, refreshing and fairly crisp/clean to drink with the mellowly bitter/drying finish. Nicely soft feel, and not aggressive. Very flavorful and not watery for the ABV. Great clean pils malt showcase, with nice noble hop presence/balance. Mild residual sweetness with crisp dryness. A very enjoyable offering, and well made style example.
