Pils with hints of green tea, combo doesn't do it for me but the pils bit of it is nice.

Aroma is herbal, grassy, fairly faint. Taste is lightly bitter with light bready malt backing, finishing dry. Tastes of tea, grass, and crackery malt. Crisp, clean, and refreshing.

Starts off with an unexpected strong grainy sweetness before developing earthy, herbal green tea notes. Finishes with a mix of tea, white bread, and a slight floral bitterness. Good, but never offers up the spicy Noble hop fade you want in a pils.

Pint can from Appalachian. Must be seasonal, because I've totally missed picking this one up before. Pint glass @home. Clear, if slightly jellied medium-light gold. Sticky & lingering, frothy, white-washed head that settles into a cultured mass. Not a super obvious nose when it's cold. Some bitter, over-steeped green tea & flaky bread ideas as you get into it. Bready, soft baked & pleasantly woods-y bitter. The jasmine comes in mid to end & is soft & definitely not over-steeped. Crispy, thin, ever slightly oily, feels stronger than 5.2 & plenty dry. Pretty good.

Pint can thanks to hershiser2! 9/17/20. Gold with a slight haze, large off-white head, good retention. Aroma of snappy, herbal, earthy hops, doughy malt. Taste is herbal, green, resin, white bread. Medium bodied, crisp, lingering bitterness, well balanced.

Completely clear golden coloured body with a peach and lightly coppered glow, all with a nice two to three centimetre tall off-white head that fades fairly quickly and leaves a pretty ugly lace on the sides. Aroma of grass, hay, flowers, light tea, some crisp yeast and bread and a touch of honey and sweetness on the end. Light to Medium-bodied; Crisp biscuity and grassy malt dominates at first with a dry and floral profile that does show some light jasmine and slightly bittered tea notes along with a kick of subtle herbs, hay and straw without any sweetness at all and a tiny bit of German (low alpha acid) hops towards the very end. Aftertaste is crisp, dry, floral and very grassy with a lot of the tea and lightly bittered notes coming out towards the end with a faint hit of alcohol as well. Overall, a nice and crisp, malt-forward and dry beer that has some good flavours from the tea that beat out the pure malt and yeast notes with a smooth finish, especially for the style. Nice on a hot summer day here in Washington and a fairly good option for those who love Jasmine tea (as I do), but the flavouring doesn't give it all. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from the Department of Beer and Wine in Alexandria, Virginia on 12-June-2020 for US$3,86 sampled at my house here in Washington on 13-July-2020, my luckiest day of the year!
