Crisp golden coloured body with an off-white head, only about a centimetre or so high. Aroma of light metal, crisp grain, a dose of corn and some mellow sugars with a pinch of breadiness and yeast at the end. Light-bodied; Mellow malty and grassy flavour at first with a subdued but nice grain and crisp citrusey flavour throughout. Aftertaste shows some sugar from honey with a very nice crisp grapefruit, citrus and lightly pine flavour from the hops with a touch of metal and grain near the end. Overall, a nice and light beer with a good crisp flavour, without much body, pungency or deep rich flavours. A good beer for sure with some minimal flavours, which are about right for the style along with a smooth and crisp flavour that would go great in the summertime. I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Siciliano's in Grand Rapids, Michigan on 13-June-2017 for US$1,99 sampled at home in Washington on 12-December-2017, almost exactly six months later. As a Michigander and especially an Engineer, I really appreciate the name/pun of this beer and would recommend it to everyone for that alone, but it is a good Lager for sure to sample if you can find it!

12 ounce can into lager glass, canned on 4/5/2017. Pours slightly hazy pale golden yellow color with a 1 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with great retention, that reduces to a large cap that lasts. Nice dense foamy lacing clings down the glass, with a moderate amount of steaming carbonation retaining the cap. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of big tangerine, grapefruit, pineapple, peach, pear, mango, melon, papaya, lemon zest, orange peel, light pepper/pine, cracker, white bread dough, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/tropical/earthy hops and moderate pale malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big tangerine, grapefruit, pineapple, peach, pear, mango, melon, papaya, lemon zest, orange peel, light pepper/pine, cracker, white bread dough, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, grassy, spicy, citrus peel bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, grapefruit, pineapple, peach, pear, mango, melon, papaya, lemon/orange peel, pepper, pine, cracker, bread dough, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/tropical/earthy hops and moderate pale malt flavors; with a nice malt/bitterness balance. Slight lingering hop astringency through the glass, but not overwhelming. Very clean on lager flavors, with zero yeast notes present. Light-moderate dryness from bitterness and carbonation, increasing through the glass. Medium-plus carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately crisp, bready/grainy/sticky, and slightly resinous balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 6%. Overall this is an awesome hoppy pale lager! All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/tropical/earthy hops and moderate pale malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, and refreshing to drink; despite the increasingly bitter/drying finish. Very vibrant and a bit dank on hops; with nice solid malt backbone. This is definitely near IPL territory on the hops and bitterness. A really delicious offering.
