looks awesome clear yellow with a huge white head.
aroma is crisp malty cardboardy with faint sweet notes under that. perhaps a little tiny bit metallic but all within reason. very lager'ish.
texture is in some way hard and soft at the same time. i don't know how they pulled that one off, but it's mineral watery hard where it needs to be and smooth velvety too, where it needs to be. good balance.
flavor is like an exceptionally good pilsener, crisp malty base, mineral water, very faint flowery swetness blending in with more malty sweetness, still dry malts though, the ending is this great balance just slowly fading off. Really good lager.

Pours slightly hazed yellow gold into a willi. Bright white soapy head with good retention recedes leaving spotty spiders. Kumquat and citrus aromas. Crisp with kumquat and papaya upfront turning to earthy tangerine peel and pith in the medium length finish.

4/III/23 - 12Fl. Oz. can @ BBGG Winter 2023 ed. (Tim’s place), BB: n/a, canned: XI/29/22 08:45:18 “HIT THE TRAIL” (2023-183) Thanks to 77ships for sharing the can!
Clear yellow blond beer, creamy white head, unstable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: nice, very dank, resinous, some tropical fruits, juicy, nice stuff, a little dusty, onions, diesel. MF: ok carbon medium body. Taste: nice, good bitterness, a bit dank, a little malty, hoppy, dry, some tropical fruits. Aftertaste: juicy, very dank, tropical fruits, nice bitterness, juicy, citrus, grassy, good one! But by no means a pilsner.

Can at Gent tasting, attending once more woo-hoo! Clear bright yellow color, small white head. Aroma is lovely hoppy. Flavor is lightly malts, metallic a bit but in a good way, decent hop bitters, can't say I get any oak which probably is a good thing for this beer. And I'm also completely clueless as to why this is called a pilsener. Imo simply a pale ale.

Can in Canaan. Lovely stuff, clean, pleasant pissy hops, tangerine, grapefruit. Light bodied with fine, massaging carbonation. Mellow rindy bitterness to finish. Big time drinkable.

Pours a slightly hazy, golden yellow, with smallish head. Aroma is grassy, with notes of oak, some hops. Flavor is quite oaky, with grass/straw, hops, some pepper, cracker. Crisp, clean mouthfeel with a fairly bitter finish.

Draught, Charlton, 2/3/22. Lightly hazy, deep honey-lemon with light maize tints and a big, creamy-dense head that is well-retained. Hints of tropical fruit and a pinch of white grape break through the staunch head. Biscuit and cracker with a touch of minerality behind it. Luscious white grape and hints of lychee and pear combine with light honey and graham cracker. Getting a hint of corn flavor, or perhaps it's just the side pull draft creaminess concentrating the malt sweetness. Whatever the case, I want more crisp, bright notes and grain. Gets better with warming, unsurprisingly, but I can't wholly shake the weird corn note. No, there are no shampoo notes as Phillybeer angrily slams another TH beer. Just bitter, floral hop notes. To that end, the hops could be fruitier, softer and better integrated. Would be curious to compare the draught next to the can.
