This is an Italian-Style Pilsner, a style I have really grown to love lately. And if you look on the label, the two hearts signify where my in-laws are from. Shoutout to Fran and Joe!

Golden beer pour under a bubbly head. Smell is noble style hops, a bit of oxidation. Decent "beer" taste, with additional hop bitterness. I'm actually considering if there aren't some rough Northern Brewer hops? Otherwise it's a good bowling alley beer.

Can shared by Adam, thanks! Pours a clear yellow gold with a white head that dissipates slowly to the edges. Aroma is straw forward with a growing hay presence with some sweet grains. Flavor has straw and crackers with a bit of hay and grain coming through.
