16 oz can from a four pack picked up at Stoup, Kenmore. Always enjoy seeing fresh hop season go beyond just IPAs, and this one is a solid alternative to that usual. Crisp taste. Cracker grains nose with a grassy hop character as well. Really easy drinking with impressionable grassy hops. Expected a more citrus like note out of this hop profile, but this belonged the way it is, I'd say. Probably wouldn't have recognized this as a fresh hop in a blind, but I can't rate this based on that. I'll rate it based on it being a solid pils all around.

On tap at Stoup, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma has some unfermented wort, straw and bready malt. Flavour has unfermented wort, straw, and bready malt. There's not much allium here, just a lot of grassiness. It's alright.
