Rated Feb. 2018. 12oz can pours with a clear sort of gold body that supported a faint head. The aroma offers up sweet apple and pears, sugary malts and then a malt nuanced lemon note. The taste delivers apple and pear fruity ester sweetness and then quickly picking up a pleasing lager yeastiness. To midway thin soft slightly tangy lemon comes to the surface. Pretty nice but it could be less sweet.

Clear golden coloured body with a thinnish off-white head. Aroma of lemon, light malt, grain, flowers and a bit of grass, but all very light. Light-bodied; Strong lemon and light malt flavours with a bit of grass and a touch of sweetness from pure honey with more lemons, a bit of malt and very little else. Aftertaste is clean and mellow with lemon and dry malt the strongest, ending with a faint touch of hops and some honey sweetness. Overall, a nice and very mellow flavour with a smooth finish and a very easy to drink texture. Nice to sample, especially on the train to New York! I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Total Wine in Alexandria, Virginia on 07-July-2016 for US$2,29 sampled on the train from Washington to New York on 01-December-2016.

$2.20 can, Wine Warehouse, CHO. Pours clear golden with a small white head. Aroma is lemon, black tea - perhaps a lemon-flavored black tea? Flavor is watered-down lemon black tea. Ok, not a bit more in depth. Not overly sour lemon, slightly bitter black tea bags, wet cardboard, grains, lightly sweet, lightly sour, but neither strong.

12 ounce can into lager glass, no can dating. Pours slightly hazy medium golden yellow color with a 1 finger dense white head with good retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings down the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of lemon, cracker, biscuit, light honey, pepper, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Nice aromas with good balance of pale malt, lemon, and earthy hop notes; with good strength. Taste of lemon, cracker, biscuit, light honey, pepper, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Moderate herbal/spicy bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of lemon, cracker, biscuit, pepper, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a short bit. Very nice robustness and balance of pale malt, lemon, and earthy hop flavors; with nice malt/bitterness balance, and zero astringent flavors after the finish. Medium-high carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, crisp, dry, and lightly grainy/sticky balanced mouthfeel that is nice. Very clean on lager flavors with zero yeast ester notes present. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4.5%. Overall this is a very good pale lager style. All around good robustness and balance of pale malt, lemon, and earthy hop flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink. There isn’t a very strong lemon presence in this, they seem to just blend in with the noble hop character; all around balanced flavors. A very enjoyable offering.

On tap at the PIB. Pours a clear hazy yellow color with a medium white head. A nice light fruity nose. The favor is toast, light lemons, dusty smooth finish. Solid.
