Perfectly clear golden coloured body with a thick, three to four centimetre tlal pure white head that fades fairly quickly and leaves just a thin layer on top, after a few seconds. Aroma of very deep and bitter grass, malt, metal and pungent floral elements with some light citrus elements with the lemons and cleanser note towards the end. Light to Medium-bodied; Very strong grassy and citrusey notes dominate with a lot of light bitterness from the hops with a deep robust and floral profile that gives a lot of hay and soft flavours with some mellow sugars, all ending with astringent bitterness, mainly from the malts with a tiny bit coming from the hops. Aftertaste shows the grassy, lemony and slightly perfumey hop notes through everything, with only a dash of sweetness, but a very crisp, lager yeast noticeable throughout and some of the malty, dry and herbal notes that come out throughout. Overall, a very nice and fairly easy-drinking beer with a good set of flavours and minor complexity, especially towards the end. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Wegman's in McLean, Virginia on 23-January-2021 for US$1,99 sampled at my house here in Washington on 14-March-2021, Pi Day.
