330 ml can into lager glass, best before 7/14/2017. Pours fairly crystal clear medium golden yellow color with a 1 finger dense and rocky white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts the whole glass. Dense soapy lacing clings down the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of lemon, peach, pineapple, passion fruit, melon, pear, grapefruit, orange zest, cracker, white bread, herbal, light pepper, and floral/grassy earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance of fruity/citrusy/earthy hops and pale malt notes; with good strength. Taste of lemon, peach, pineapple, passion fruit, melon, pear, grapefruit, orange zest, cracker, white bread, herbal, light pepper, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate herbal/grassy/spicy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of lemon, peach, pineapple, passion fruit, melon, pear, grapefruit, orange zest, cracker, white bread, herbal, pepper, and floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice robustness and balance of fruity/citrusy/earthy hops and pale malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and zero astringent hop flavors after the finish. Moderate dryness from lingering bitterness, increasing through the glass. Perfectly clean on lager flavors, with zero yeast notes present. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately crisp, and bready/grainy/sticky balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4.7%. Overall this is a delicious dry hopped pale lager. All around nice robustness and balance of fruity/citrusy/earthy hops and pale malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink. Very flavorful for the low ABV, with a really nice hop profile. A very enjoyable offering.
