On tap at Faction, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma is rather mineraly, with a sort of stale bready malt character and deficient hops. Flavour isn't much better, with old bready malt and barely any hop character. A tired, lame pils. Poor.

16 oz can from Spikes. Clear, pale golden, frothy head fades to little patches. Malty, bready aroma, straw, grass. Taste brings more of the same, with the hops making an appearance at the very last secobd.

Poured from a 500 ml bottle. Aroma has a medium light grain note with some light floral and herbal hop notes. Clean fermentation with no phenolics and faint fruity esters. Pours a fairly clear, yellow gold with a medium large, thick, pillowy white head that recedes steadily to a thin film that lingers. Moderate lacing and no legs. Flavor has medium light grain and bread notes with hints of cracker that lingers in the finish. Medium to medium light bitterness with light hop notes. Hop notes are herbal and spicy. No esters or phenolics. Mouthfeel is light bodied and a lsightly crisp with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a nice pilsner. Well balanced grain notes with some light hop aromas and flavors.

Sample at the taproom. The beer pours a clear pale golden color with a medium pillowy white head that evaporates steadily to a film. Partial rings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of grassy hops, malt and fruit. Light-bodied with flavors of herbal hops, fruit and biscuit malt. The finish is mildly bitter with a grassy hop aftertaste. Decent overall.

Draft. Golden beer with a whitish head. Grass and light citrus aroma. Nice noble hop flavor with light mineral notes. Medium bodied. Easy drinking. Noble hops linger with grass, light spice, and light malt.
