Can from Beer Republic. Aroma is grainy cereal malt with hoppy notes, citrus, grass, light floral hints. Flavour is moderate bitterness. Body is almost medium with lively carbonation. Refreshing and highly drinkable 'hoppy Pils'.

Can. Hazy yellowish golden colour with a mediumsized white foamy head. Aroma is herbal, grassy, some hayish and mild floral tones. Flavour is grassy, floral, some mild fruity tones with some grassy and a bit earthy elements to it. A bit more crispness and it would be pretty much top notch.

On tap at Mikkeller San Diego, pours a clear pale golden with a small where head. Aroma brings out unfermented wort, grass and biscuity malt. Flavour is along the same lines, with biscuity malt, straw and a touch of grass. Clean and drinkable, but not terribly complex. Decent.

Crystal clear golden coloured body with a very large, pure white, super soapy head, about seven centimetres tall. Aroma of grass, pears, light grain, some hop pellets, a dose of hay, yeast and some slightly unfinished yeast scents with wort as well. Light-bodied; Grassy, unfiltered malt flavour with some wheat, yeast, grain, biscuits, citrus with pineapple and some tropical fruit notes and ending with a more mellow malt profile but a noticeable assertive hop and dry flavour throughout. Aftertaste shows some sweetness from the fruits with pears and pineapple the strongest through the finale with a dose of yeast and grain and a lot of dryness from hay and grasses at the tail end. Overall, a dry and very herbal beer with a good dose of dry and lighter hop bitterness, but still clean and fresh without anything being cloying or too malty. This is light and easy-drinking with a bunch of hops, but still not something that is too nice or complex and definitely not something worth trying to find or spend a lot of money on. I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Knightly Spirits in Orlando (Orange Blossom Trail), Florida on 28-December-2017 for US$2,79 sampled at my hotel room here in Columbia, Maryland on 07-August-2018.

Pours hazy gold into a plastic cup. White head with good retention recedes to skim surface. Dusty bitter resin and herbal rosemary upfront turning to pineapple in the medium length finish.

Can. Clear golden body. Large, frothy, pillowy white head. Lasting. Light aroma of floral hops, wet grass, toasted grain, lemon. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter. It finishes lightly to moderately sweet and lightly to moderately bitter. Thin to medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. Tastes like a light lager with a floral hop taste. Lingering bitterness.

Pour is a clear golden with a large white head. Aroma is very balance. Equal parts bready malt and citrus hops. Flavor is the same as the aroma. A decent pils malt with some west coast hops. This is also super carbonated giving more of a ale like feel to this. This was well done and quite flavorful.
