Reviewed from notes.
Can to lager glass.
Appearance: dark yellow to almost copper color with a two finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: some grassy to herbal to earthy to floral hops with some toasty to bready notes
Flavor: takes the prior noted aromas and adds in a touch of soft peppery tones; finishes herbal to earthy/floral hoppy with the bready notes
Texture: light to medium bodied - maybe closer to light bodied just a wee bit; sessionable; good smoothness along the tongue
Overall: another pilsner that seems to be blurring the lines of me not knowing if this is German or Czech. Well, it is well brewed, there's that and so I would welcome this beer again.

Frothy, dull pale gold @The Grand Delancy. Dusty, raw wheat, steel, mellow pepper. Minerally, chalky, starchy, some acidity, black pepper, chewy crust, itchy bitterness. Meh to okay. First dud I've had from them.

Canned 4/22/22, drunk 5/23/22. Clear copper-brass-golden. Small, white head shows low-to-moderate retention. Grassy, herbal, peppery nose is big on the noble hops with mineral, sourdough, toast and clean yeast. Fairly acidic, peppery, strongly herbal, noble hops are crisp and easily balance the soft, well-attenuated malts. Definitely a bit on the acidic side.

Pours clear yellow into a shaker. White head with little retention recedes to hug rim. Sweet hay and caramel aromas. Crisp with lemon and sourdough upfront turning to pith and peel in the earthy finish.
