Hay nose, slight white pepper presence. Clear yellow, medium snow white head. Hay, oats, lemongrass. Light body, easy carbonation, low bitterness. I'm not a pilsner fan, but I like this. Crisp, clean, refreshing, flavorful.

Canned 8/3/22, drunk 8/19 and 8/20/22. Clear maize-brass. Large, well-retained white head. Well it doesn't have the gross, paper pulp character that I associate with Alsatian pilsners. Does have the black pepper and light floral notes with heavy biscuit and no alcohol or flaw. Light minerality. Soft, very round for a lager, wanting a bit more grain/crispness. In that sense, it tastes cheap and improper for a great pils, yet here the beer is clean and biscuity/doughy with soft herbal and peppery notes. Sourdough-like notes pick up as well.

OK, so I recognized they were playing French Disko by Stereolab when I was picking up a crowler, I confirmed that this is not the same beer as the Bière D’Alsace so picked up a 4-pack... Pours clear gold into a shaker. White head with medium retention recedes to skim surface. Sourdough and weed aromas. Crisp with sweet hay and sourdough upfront turning to pine and bitter earth in the lasting finish.
