On tap at the brewery. Aroma is rather hop forward with lots of passion fruit, gooseberry, tropical citrus, orange, grapefruit and tangerine. Lighter bready grain and cracker malt notes. Hints of alcohol. Pours a rather clear, pale, yellow-gold with a medium sized, thick, pillowy, white head that recedes slowly to a small film that lingers. Medium lacing and small legs. Flavor is somewhat sweet with medium light bready grain notes with hints of crackers. Medium to medium high bitterness and light alcohol notes. Loads of citrus with grapefruit, orange, tangerine and tropical citrus. Light gooseberry notes and a bit of a dank, resin note. Mouthfeel is medium light bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a really nice hoppy pilsner. Really great hop notes that shine so well; one of the best citrus hop profiles I have had recently. Super light malt profile and very easy drinking.

Draught at Ale Arsenal. Pours vibrantly clear light gold, with small white head that fades to a collar around the glass of miniscule bubbles. Slight patterns on the glass. Herb, earth and spicy ester aroma, with floral aspects in reserve. Flavor is earth and grass, with meadow floral. Rather spritzy on the carbonation leading to a well rounded mouthfeel.
