Can from The Gull, North Vancouver; 4.8% ABV
Pale blond colour, with chill haze. Delicate aroma of grassy hops, with gentle fruity hint. Dry mouthfeel, a bit weak; crispy base, but fades quickly; robust bitterness, with grassy, herbaceous, and spicy hop character, getting slightly pithy in the finish. In average, I get better malt quality from a random German brauhaus, and no pith, but I appreciate that this beer has character; the fruity esters may be atypical, but it's a positive note. Good.

Poured from 473mL can. Clear blonde gold with white head. Crisp, light pils malt, grassy hops, clean, just a touch watery (otherwise would've probably been a 3.9 or 4.0).

Can from Livonia Liquor. Pours a clear straw gold with a finger of white head that dissipates. Crackery malt, mineral and herbal, bitter hop aromas on the nose. Bitter and clean on the palate with a dry bitter finish. Light bodied with a touch mineral that lingers on the finish as well. Enjoyable lager.

Can at home, 19th May 24, whilst barbecuing a leg of lamb, got this one from the Jester King Brewery in Austin. Aroma is straw and fresh grass, taste is mellow, bitter, crisp, fresh grass and hay. Lovely
