crystal clear light pale with a decent white head that fades rapidly. slight metallic nose. odd bitter hops that near the impression of ammonia, but not quite. yes, quite hoppy with something that near a sharp pilsner that went wrong someplace. decent carbonation, but could use more to get my attention away from the flavor profile. bitter astringent bite builds to the middle. hints of 88 gasoline ethanol fuel. not pleasant after the session is established. yea, not quite a hoppy lager but I think its trying to be one. finish like the phenolic of an astringency from a rookie brewer.

Pour is a cloudy gold with a large white head. Aroma is fresh crushed grina and not much else. Flavor is more fresh cut grain but it is lacking the citrus hops the can told me I was going to get. Just a smidge of bitterness on the back end. I like the malts and grain but this is lacking hops.

Clear gold with a three finger head. Aroma is grains. Taste is very well balanced with a nice grain flavor.

Õlle on selline jook, et iga uus kord kui klaasi või pudeli suule tõstad, siis leiad midagi uut, sõltuvalt tuhandest-miljonist pisiasjast, mis hetke olukorda mõjutavad. Seega piirdun iga õlle juures selle tekstiga.

Pours hazy golden with a white head. Aroma has notes of malt, grain, floral and hay. Taste is light to medium sweet and light to medium bitter with a long grainy and floral finish. Body is light, texture is thin to oily, carbonation is soft.

So the label says this was canned on 2/1/23 and is good until 1/2/24, and damned if I can think of another IPL with the chutzpah to say it has an eleven-month shelf life. Tastes like a year-old hoppy lager, in that the hops are gone and the esters are in full overripe fruit mode. I’d love to try this fresh, but it’s a mess now.

Dark gold with a large soapy head that lingered. Sweet, tangy and lightly bitter with floral and citric hops. Medium finish and body.

Can from Foodery: pours gold woth white head. Lightly grainy, somewhat bready. Taste is lightly sweet. Not too bitter. Simple and drinkable.
