Reviewed from notes.
Can to lager glass.
Appearance: clear golden color with a two finger white foamy head which dissipated adequately to leave some light lace.
Aroma: light grassy to piney to earthy hop spice up front then some lime and salt notes; malts seems a lot fainter than the OG but I'm okay with that
Flavor: combines the prior noted aromas in a slightly snappy sort of spicy and citrusy sort way, the malts seem once again extremely lower; finishes crisp, slightly salty with a touch of lime
Texture: light to medium bodied but seems a bit lighter than the OG, sessionable; very smooth along the tongue; nothing abrasive or assertive
Overall: what was once a Czech pilsener to me is now a beach sipper or something that sounds like someone would want for Cinco De Mayo. This isn't bad, but part of me thinks I liked the OG more.

Canned 6/21/23, drunk 1/1/24. Clean, brassy-gold. Spotty, white head, small. Pretty tasteful lime, a fair bit of it, it it's pretty juicy. salty with some biscuit and honey from malt. Obviously aimed at being a fruit beer, not a pilsner. Clean, malty, good malt depth, not too sweet. Tastes like a margarita. Authentic lime, good salinity. A fine beer for the right occasion.

Pours pale golden with a frothy white head. Aroma of lime and salt. Taste has more odd fruity notes, some grassy hops. Palate has lingering lime juice, some malt that shines through. Good.

Pours a clearish amber from a can. Light lime aroma, mostly boiled grain. Similar overcooked flavor. Good beer, could be better.

16oz can pours a clear gold, white head. Scrag-a-rita is right, big lime and salt nose, lemon seltzer, some grain. Flavor has a little grist and honey, but huge lime and salt layered over. Salty, limey finish.

5 oz. Draft. Aroma and flavor are a reflection. Flavor has the typical pils malt backbone with a mild hint of lime. Soft salinity in the finish. I guess it kind of does resemble a margarita.

Can. Pours a clear gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a nice straw note with a lime bite and some grass notes underlying. Flavor has a nice lime and grass combination with hay and a hint of salt supporting.

Floral, hoppy, and the salt/ lime falls into place wonderfully on a 75° and Heung-min Sonny day.
