12 ounce bottle into lager glass, bottled on 5/7/2018. Pours slightly hazy pale golden straw color with a 1 finger dense and rocky white head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of big juicy pears and fruit peel; with lighter notes of cracker, white bread dough, and herbal/grassy earthiness. Very nice aromas with pears, light-moderate pale malts, and mild earthy hop notes; with great strength. Taste of big juicy pears and fruit peel; with lighter notes of cracker, white bread dough, and herbal/grassy earthiness. Very mild herbal/grassy bitterness and fruit tartness on the finish. Lingering notes of pears, fruit peel, cracker, white bread dough, and herbal/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice robustness and balance of pears, light-moderate pale malts, and mild earthy hop flavors; with a nice malt/tart/bitterness balance, and no cloying flavors after the finish. Moderately crisp/clean finishing. Perfectly clean on lager flavors with no yeasty notes present. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitter/tartness. Medium carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, fairly bready/grainy, and lightly sticky/acidic mouthfeel that is nice. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4.9%. Overall this is a delicious fruited pale lager. All around nice robustness and balance of pears, light-moderate pale malts, and mild earthy hop flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink. Very flavorful and not watery for the ABV. Great authentic pear flavors with clean pils malts, and mild earthy hops against sweetness. A very enjoyable offering, and well made style example.

Clear golden coloured body with a nice, thin, single centimetre tall just off-white head. Aroma of pears (of course), apples, light yeast and wheat and a bit of breadie funky. Light-bodied; Mellow grassy and herbal flavours with a bit of a apple and pear sweetness along with a touch of crisp grain and very little else, aside from some yeast. Aftertaste shows the grain and sweetness with some light honey, a touch of malt and that’s about it - fairly mild, but the effervescence is noticeable. Overall, about what you’d expect for the beer, but a tad underwhelming, considering it’s mild flavour and non-existant complexity. Not really worth trying, but fun compared to most IPAs and Saisons. I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Whole Foods in Fair Lakes (Fairfax), Virginia on 28-January-2017 for US$1,99 sampled at home in Washington a few hours before leaving for Charlottesville (and Roseland), Virginia for the very first time on 24-Feburary-2017.

Col brought this to our last bottle share but no one fancied it. So the wife’s drinking it instead. Had a taster. Poured amber with a small white head. Aroma of grain and very light pear. Quite heavy sweetness, light bitterness. Light body, oily texture. Not great.
