Description
Pigeon Head Brewery was founded in May of 2014 with the inclination to brew traditional German style lagers. As our love for lagers grew, so did our desire to explore the many other styles that craft beer has to offer. Over the last few years, we have pushed the limits with our rotating seasonal selections. Our flagship lagers will always have a special place in our hearts as our passion grows to find the next exciting beer that will test the boundaries of craft beer.

Can from Total Wine in Folsom, CA. Pours slightly translucent gold with a large foamy white head. Aroma is grass/spice over bread, but there seems to be a citrus note. Arguably med body. Flavor is spicy/grassy - enough to rather obliterate the malt. Strong prickles. Pretty good.
