Poured from a 16 oz can dated November 27, 2024.
Aroma is fairly hop forward with notes of lemon, grapefruit, pith, and woody, piney, herbal notes. Light bready grain notes and hints of alcohol.
Pours a slightly hazy, yellow gold with a large, thick, pillowy white head that recedes to a small head that lingers in clumps. Fairly high lacing and faint legs.
Flavor has a light sweetness with medium light bready grain notes. Medium bitterness and faint alcohol notes. Moderately strong herbal, woody, piney hop notes with hints of grapefruit and citrus pith.
Mouthfeel is medium light bodied and a bit crisp with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth.
Overall, a solid hoppy lager. I wish it were fresher so the dry hop notes could come though a bit better, but they have held up surprisingly well. Not as crisp as I was expecting, but still pretty crushable.
