On draught at Gaslight Social Club in Casper.
Pours straw gold, finger of foam, very good retention and lacing. This place also uses a nitro mix.
Smell is hoppy tropical fruity bitterness, something unusual in there. Can't put my finger on it.
Taste is tropical fruit, dry hopped bitterness, hints of relation to a German Pilsner but deviates, imho, by quite a bit. Might be picking up some lemon.
Mouthfeel is fine, I would drink this again.

Reviewed from notes.
Can to lager glass.
Appearance: golden yellow color with a stiff transparency and a two and a half fingers of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: light citrusy to floral hop notes, subtle lime deeep down in there, delicate grassy hop spice and a swift clean malt bill
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine malty sweet to slightly hop spiced character; finishes citrusy to hop spiced with a clean malty vibe
Texture: light bodied, sessionable; fairly smooth along the tongue, no hop distraction anywhere
Overall: nice easy drinking pilsner that would be nice while grilling this Summer.

12 oz. can from Molly's Spirits in Lakeside, CO. Pours a hazy yellow color with a bright white head and great retention. Good lacing. Citrus and light hops aroma. The taste follows the nose, except the hops flavor is stronger and the citrus is lighter. A good summer beer. A little hoppier than I prefer, but good after a bike ride. Medium body. Medium-low carbonation. Soft bitterness.

Month old can A: Finely hazed pale yellow gold with some fine sediment and a short smooth head, leaving thin clingy lace. S: Fresh baked bread with a little citrus and light sweetness. T: Bread notes are much more toasty. Bitter hops bring light citrus pith and pine. M: Soft but prickly carbonation, light body and smooth texture. O: Well balanced, approachable and very tasty.
