Draft at Goldfinger. Clean, gold slow-pour pils with a thick white head. Smell does indeed offer some cracker-toast malt, and an unidentifiable note of fruit. Maybe it's just because it's on the description, but yes, I do have some impression of Riesling grape, and a slight spice of Noble hop. Less hip bitterness than the usual craft light lager, which gives it a bit of uniqueness. Plenty of foam legginess left in the glass. To bad they can't put out several of these hop varietals side by side for comparison, but there's too much time between them to keep them fresh.

16oz can. Rather delicious beer. Pulawski hops are completely new to me, but seem almost like a more restrained Nelson, mild white grape. Not much bitterness, which I would kind of want in a Polish Pils. Perfect body/mouthfeel. Good.
