Reviewed from notes.
Can to lager glass.
Appearance: golden yellow color with a slight transparency about it and a finger's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: slight melon to sweet grassy to lemony hop tones, light biscuity malt base
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to a semi-sweet malty quality; finishes crisp and citrusy
Texture: light bodied, sessionable, clean smoothness
Overall: nicely done pilsner worthy of coming back to.

big frothy thick white head. Brilliant golden color with a nice bit of haze to it. Melon, grassy hops with a touch of citrus. Medium aggressive carbonation, big bitterness, with an interesting waxy coating on the mouth after the first sip. Slight creamy mouthfeel. Super drinkable. Crushable is a good term. Excellent

16 oz can poured, picked up at Almanac, Alameda. Golden pour, moderate haze. So many amazing Almanac sours over the years, and I've gotten to the point where I'm super stoked to be drinking their badass pilsner. Heavily hop influenced. Very flavorful pilsner. Thicker body than your usual. Lots of melon, slight apple hint. Slight sweet grain nose, more hops. Smooth over being crisp. Refreshing and delicious.

Can. A- Melon, mild straw. A- Yellow color, cloudy liquid, white head. T- Citrus, mild bitterness, mild hay. P- Light body, average texture, average carbonation, balanced finish. O- Perhaps a new top pils for me. Love the hop blend and really refreshing. Crisp enough but not too the point of being dry and astringent tasting.
