A German-style pilsner. Sweet grainy malts lead the swallow, carrying light hints of grassy, earthy hops; prickly carbonation cleans up the swift, sweet sip.

Draft pour at the collective. Pours a clear pale golden color with barely any head. Grainy corn like aroma. Flavor is slightly hoppy, and decently refreshing. Pretty ordinary lager here. Nothing crazy, but better than others in the style for sure. Glad I tried it.

Keg at the taproom, 10/11/14. Clear pale golden with a moderate off white covering. Nose is pale malt, straw, cereal, light citrus tones. Taste comprises grain, hint of caramel, vanilla, grassy. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with light hop bitterings. Ok lager, nice palate cleanser amidst more complex offerings.

Malty, for sure. Tastes like cereal lager all right, not a hint of any hops, just malt and cereal grain sweetness. Pale golden with lazy carbonation, small airy head, aroma of grain and cooked vegetables. Just average. I might even choose a PBR over this....

Draught. Pours pale yellow, medium head much lacing. Not much aroma, just a little grass. Well balanced flavour malt and hops, with the right amount of sweetness and bitterness. Lekker finish. Good on a hot day.
