Poured from a 16 oz can with a bit of a fuzzy date, but I think it says August 10, 2023. Aroma is fairly hop forward with lots of passion fruit, mango, berry and tropical citrus notes. Light tangerine notes as well. Light bready, cracker malt notes as well and hints of alcohol. Pours a fairly clear, but slightly hazy, golden yellow with a medium large, medium thick, pillowy, white head that recedes steadily to a small film that lingers on the edges. Light lacing and faint legs. Flavor is slightly sweet with light bread and cracker malt notes. Medium low bitterness and light alcohol notes. Moderately strong hop flavors of berry, tropical citrus, tangerine and passion fruit. Some lingering citrus and pine notes in the finish. Mouthfeel is medium light bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a solid hop forward pilsner. Not a crisp and dry as I would prefer but the hop notes are really nice. Some light sweetness and malt notes help hide the alcohol notes. Pretty tasty and I like it a bit more than the Cellarmaker version.
