Can to lager glass.
Appearance: semi-transparent golden yellow color with a nice two fingers of white foamy head which slid off nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: semi-sweet to oily grassy hops, slight peppery scent, a touch of floral hop character
Flavor: mildly sweet and allowing that normal "oily-ness" I tend to almost always find in "Italian pilseners" to take shape in this taste; mild peppery spiciness then a quaint aftertaste of grassy to oily hoppiness
Texture: light to medium bodied, good sessionability about it; smooth along my tongue but also that "oily-ness" shows it's face here; finishes crisp, smooth and obviously oily too
Overall: another one of these Italian pilseners that I do believe I'm liking but also finding the one thing they all have in common - they are all oily in their aromas, flavors and textures. It is what it is and I would come back to this one.

Can from Tavour. Pours clear gold with a monstrous pillowy white head that persisted and laced. Aroma is citrus and some spice. Med body. It's dry and nicely bitter. Flavor is peppery spice with citrus and floral. This is really good.

Pint can. Light yellow pour with a fluffy white head, thick sticky lacing. Smells sweet and lightly grassy, somewhat grainy and earthy. Deep flavors of grass and grain, some malty sweetness. Finishes crisp. Lingering grainy taste.
