at GBBF 2025

Cask at GBBF 25. Aroma has light malts with a citrus edge. Hazy light gold. Translucent white foamy head sticks to the rim. A citrusy tang. Light malts. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Decent enough.

16oz can pours a clear gold with some white head. Nose has some honey and malt and some candy. Not traditional but it's fine. Flavor is buttered brioche, honey, flowers. Off dry.

Crisp nobel hops. A little straw, light lime. Some attic dust. Golden pour with decent head retention. Snappy bitter end. Can.

On tap at the brewery. Pours gold. Grain, floral, little sulfur, little astringency. Medium body. Fine.

Crystal clear golden coloured body with a nice two centimetre tall, almost pure white head that stays afloat nicely and caps the beer throughout. Aroma of grass, hay, flowers, lemons and a touch of grain noticeable, but all crisp and seemingly very dry. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong relatively earthy, grainy and malty notes dominate, in sort of an overpowering and funky way with a lot of nuts, specialty grain and relatively strong yeasts here that all end dry and still show both alcohol and sugars at the end. Aftertaste is fairly funky with the strong, nutty, earthy and floral malts by far the most pungent, but some soft hops and sugars are here, as are the strong yeast elements, which clearly show this as a lager, and one with a lot of flavour. Overall, a decent enough pilsner, with more flavours and funkiness than I was expecting, but of course, not out of the question at all, and probably a nice beer in the [summer] season, but not so seasonal for drinking on a chilly day. I sampled this as Beer #8 of my 2021 Advent Calendar, a sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from the Sperryville Corner Store in Sperryville, Virginia on 06-March-2021, my wife's birthday and sampled at my house here in Washington on 08-December-2021.

On tap at Wakefest. Pours a hazy golden with medium white head that lasts. The aroma is grass, straw, floral. Light body, straw, grass, citrus, light crisp finish, very good.

Can at home while cooking dinner. Yellow pour and fine head. Nose is grassy and yeast. Tastes of grass, caramel, malt, peppery and biscuits. Crisp as well.

Draft at The Casual Pint Falls Church. Poured a clear dark yellow color with a medium sized white head. Aroma was super crisp. Sweet, crisp, enjoyable. Light grain, some herbal notes, grassy. Pleasant.
