Poured from a 16 oz can dated May 28, 2019. Aroma is malt forward with light grain notes and hints of rice. Faint floral and herbal hop notes. Faint esters with no phenolics, diacetyl or DMS Pours a somewhat clear, light gold color with a medium small, medium thick, white head that recedes fairly quickly to small, thin clumps that linger for a bit on the edges. Light lacing and no legs. Flavor is somewhat sweet with light grain notes and hints of rice. Low bitterness and faint floral hop notes. Faint floral and fruity esters with no phenolics, DMS or diacetyl. A slightly dry finish. Mouthfeel is light bodied and fairly crisp with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a perfectly acceptable American Lager.

Bottle from Cap Tap. Pours bright, light gold with a white head. Aroma is mildly bready with a touch of citrus. Near med body. Flavor matches the aroma. While it's bready, it doesn't have the odd flavor that sometimes goes with that. Can't describe it. Know it when I find it. A pretty nice pils.

On tap at Faction. It pours a clear pale yellow color with a white head. The aroma has some lightly buttered bread and fruit with some strong melon and citrus. The flavor has light melon, big grape with a touch of grass and light spicy hop bitterness in the finish. The body is medium-light with high carbonation and smooth, creamy mouthfeel. A pretty awesome sessionable beer.
