12oz can from Boise Co-op. Bright, clear golden pour, small foamy head. Pretty straight forward malty festbier, clean, tasty, so easy to drink. Bready, biscuity with some crisp hops at the finish.

Can from Raynville Superstore. Ur pours hazy golden - pale orange with a decent white head. The aroma is sticky, juicy, tropical fruit vibes, fruit punch, tangy citrus, touch of marmalade, touch green and piney. The taste is upfront dry, pleasing snap of bitterness, green, piney, pithy, zesty, bitter orange peel, grapefruit, pomelo, pithy, slightly soapy, peppery spice, nip of booze, biscuit, lightly toasted grain and bread with a lingering bitter pine and citrus finale. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Decent hit of bitterness to it. Good.

Super nice crisp and clean pilsner. Really good. Bright golden and clear. Nose is fresh grassy new mown hay type hop, a little spiciness, crackery malt profile with a nice medium bitter finish. Light to medium bodied, semi-dry. Truly a great one. I like these little 8.8oz cans they sell it in but they're kinda pointless because you need to drink 2 of em, but thats OK, drinking 2 is easy!

Bought locally, canned July 18th 2025.
Pours a clear gold with a finger of foam, good retention and lacing.
Smell is grassy hops, caramel and bready malt, a little spicy and bitter.
Taste is grassy hops bitterness, bready malt, light caramel, a little bit more bitter than I prefer in the style. Good,though.
Medium bodied, it's good and I have a few more cans waiting for me.

Can - this one tastes damn close to Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, and that is cool with me - slightly heftier body than you often find in N/A brews - hop character is spicy and nicely bitter - great bbq beer for when you are abstaining.
