Can. Hazy yellow, white head. Aroma and taste of citrus, peach, tea, floral notes. Aroma is better than the taste.

12 ounce can into lager glass, best before 5/7/2018. Pours lightly hazy/cloudy pale golden straw color with a 1 finger fairly dense and rocky white head with awesome retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of big lemon, orange, grapefruit, lime, peach, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, berries, citrus peel/zest, light pepper/pine, cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and moderate pale malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big lemon, orange, grapefruit, lime, peach, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, berries, citrus peel/zest, light pepper/pine, cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel/zest, herbal, floral, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of lemon, orange, grapefruit, lime, peach, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, berries, citrus peel/zest, light pepper/pine, cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and moderate pale malt flavors; with an awesome malt/bitterness balance, and no lingering hop astringency after the finish. Moderately crisp/clean finishing. Perfectly clean on lager flavors with zero yeast notes presence. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately bready/grainy, fairly sticky, and slightly resinous/rindy balanced mouthfeel that is fantastic. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4.8%. Overall this is an outstanding hoppy pale lager! All around awesome citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and moderate pale malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink with the mellowly bitter/drying finish. Very flavorful and not watery for the ABV. Very vibrant, juicy, and fairly dank/earthy hop complexity; with a great balanced clean pils malt backbone, and mild residual sweetness. A highly enjoyable offering. Loved the hop profile as expected.

Bottled 355ml (KSM Kampus, BB 04/2019)
Golden colour, small white head. Aroma has some veggie notes and citrus dish cleanser. LIght-bodied, even watery. Flavour is very similar to nose: I get some aspargus, citrus/lemon and dish cleanser. Shorty finish. Odd, maybe it is because of age (probably 4 months+).

A light yelllow beer, a head is medium and white. Aroma has grain, herbs, some leaves and citrus. Taste has grain, green leaves, citrus, quite mild bitterness. Medium bodied. Unfortunately disappointment, this would need less green leaves and more citrus.

Very satisfactory lager. Nice light golden color. Clean profile, citrus hopping is nice on the nose, restrained in the palate to give a nice balance. Finishes almost like a dortmunder, clean and dry, with low bitterness.

12oz bottle. Victory nails it with this one. Delicious lager notes, and quite a lot of hop depth, with the Azacca and Mosaic giving it a softer, peachy feel and the C-hops giving it a nice classical backdrop too. Blows the hell out of Session IPAs, though I admit that style helped pave the way. Great stuff. Filtered, clean, sessionable.

Can: Clear, light gold with a tall white head. Aroma of strong grapefruit, mixed citrus. Taste is sweet, mildly spicy citrus, grain malt. Really bright and refreshing.....a very nicely done blend of the different hops.

Can. Golden body with a frothy, white head, slowly diminishing. Aroma of toasted grain, lemon, citrus, resin. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter. It finishes lightly sweet and lightly to moderately bitter. Light to medium body, eatery texture, fizzy carbonation. Taste of lemon, bitterness, citrus with floral notes — bitter, sour flowers. Kind of crisp and kind of flabby. That and competing flavors muddle the whole thing.
