Can. Pours hazy golden orange, small white head, fizzy and quick to dissipate, some lacing. Aroma is wheat, lemon, dust, a hint of stonefruit, floral and pepper notes. Flavor is light plus sweet, hint of tartness, honey, wheat and a touch of lemon. Medium plus body.

Can from Tanakaya. Drank from the can. Muscat, sourdough bread and light hay notes on the nose. More bread as it warms. Above average carbonation with a slighty watery mouthfeel. Finish is dry with some peach and muscat notes. Refreshing, but a little boring. --- Beer merged from original tick of Table Beer on 22 Dec 2015 at 19:48 - Score: 6. Original review text: Not bad, but not that good either.

GABF 2015. Gold color, but lacing yellow head. Moderately bitter, and there is some citrus from the choice of hops. I typically do not like experimental pilsners, but this one worked out fine, even if the hops are a little weird for the style.
