Pours a clear pale yellow body and a small white head. Aroma's: malty, leafy hops, a little fruity. Retronasal: fruity and malty. Flavor is light malty sweet and light moderate bitter. Light bodied. Soft carbonation. Finishes slightly dry, light moderate bitter. Perhaps a bit too much bitterness for the style, although you'll find those in Germany too. Nice.

Poured from a 16 oz can dated September 18, 2023. Aroma is light and malt forward with lots of crusty bread and cracker notes. Light herbal, earthy hop notes and hints of alcohol. Slightly floral eaters. Pours a clear, pale, yellow gold color with a large, thick, pillowy, white head that recedes slowly to a small film that lingers. Medium low lacing and faint legs. Flavor is somewhat sweet with medium light cracker and crusty bread malt notes. Medium bitterness and faint alcohol notes. Light herbal, spicy hop notes and hints of floral esters. Mouthfeel is light bodied with medium carbonation and a crisp, dry finish. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a super crushable, solid lager. Nice malt profile, dry finish and solid background hop and ester notes.

Capped 500 mL bottle from Belmont Station, 9/10/23. Clear pale gold, large white head, average retention. Aroma of grass, pale malt. Taste is sweet malts, grassy hops. Simple, crisp, well balanced.

On tap at Brook Bar & Deck. Pours a clear pale gold with visible carbonation and a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a good amount of straw with a bit of sweet grains and a touch of biscuit underlying. Flavor has more sweet grains up front with growing straw and a hint of hay underlying.
