A German-style golden lager brewed with imported German pils malt and Saaz and Hallertau hops. This light-bodied beer offers a gentle, dry finish. A perennial favorite in the Sly Fox pubs and our brewer's go-to session beer.

Draft. Pours a goldy clear gold. Some hops grass and pils. Not super great but not bad either.

12 oz. can from Total Wine - Naples, FL. Pours a crystal clear gold color with a bright white head and fair retention. No lacing. Standard pale lager aroma. Initial bready malt flavor with a clean pale malt finish. Very smooth and easy drinking. Medium-light body. Medium carbonation. No bitterness. A very refreshing everyday lager. More of a golden ale versus a Helles profile.

12oz can. Filtered tan body. Thin soapy head. Rather mundane, unexceptional for the style. OK, certainly drinkable, but a little bit bland and overcarbonated.

Can from Hawker House, Canada Water. Weird can where the whole top comes off- not seen one of those before. Hazy yellow beer with a white head and a light fizz. Buttery with lemon hints. Light and easy drinking. Pleasant enough.
