Aromos are mild MJ with grassy, malt and a bit of citrus. Flavors are similar to nose and more bitter than sweet and okay carbonation. Pretty good.

Can from Tavour. Pours clear bright gold with a large white head that turned foamy. Aroma of pale malt - seemingly not bready - with a good amount of Noble hop aroma. Arguably med body. It's quite dry and quite bitter. Mostly Noble grass/spice for hop. Excellent pils.

Pint Can. Pours a crystal clear yellow gold color with a small white head that has fair retention. The aroma is rather mild with straw, corn and a trace of pine. The taste is hay, breads, walnuts and pine. The palate is light and crisp with lively carbonation. Finishes dry with lingering piney hops. Overall: Decent pils--best I've had in a long time.

More sweet notes upfront than I'd love but still like it a ton. Hits the crisp finish and clean overall feel.

Can - clean, spicy, vibrantly hoppy pils, with a bright fruitiness and and bitter, light mineral finish - light up front sweetness leads to a dry finish - nice.

Taster at Beasts & Brews. Pour a clear, straw color, with a big, foamy, white head. The aroma is hay, spruce, lavender, and white bread. Dry and crisp, with a mellow bitterness. Crisp, mild, and easy.

Sampled from the tap at the brewery. Pours a clear gold with a white head that dissipates slowly to the edges. Aroma has lots of hay with a crisp grass and a bit of straw underlying. Flavor has a great crisp grass with some sweet hay and a bit of straw in the finish.

No dating on the 16 ounce can.

It pours a brilliantly clear straw gold with an inch of foam, does okay with the lacing.

Noble hops like nose with some grass, spicy, toasted malt.

Taste is assertive with the Noble hops, medium grass, toasted malt, comes across ass dry overall but has some juicy "moments". Pretty darn impressive.

Wonderful mouthfeel, the hops coat the tongue and carry through the finish.

So so delicious!
