Pour is a cloudy gold with a large white head. Aroma is fresh baked white bread. Flavor is more white bread with a spicy herbal hop finish. This was a really nice pils.

Pour looks like clear iced tea with a large white head. Aroma is a little grain and caramel malt. Flavor is a bigger grain than the aroma let on. Fresh ground bready malt with just a touch of sweetness and no bitterness at all. I don't know what would make this a winter lager but the fresh crushed grain is tasty.

Pour is a clear gold pale lager lookalike. Aroma is candied oranges. Flavor is more oranges without the sweetness and then follows a big bitterness. Nice showcase of this hop Uber fresh. She be tasty and bitter.

When I popped the lid, this cute little can of buddy squirted and foamed all over the place. Luckily I had enough left to taste out of a small brandy sniffer, whew. Very light pale yellow, and the head of course, was white and about 4 inches thick. Most of the glass was white head and a tiny amount of pale lager in the bottom. Smell is a pleasant clean lager nose with a tad of cream corn sweetness, typical fresh pale lager olfactory. First taste is sortah mix of some helles and a touch of pils mild bitter bite. A little more personality than the common macro. Lots of cutting carbonation on the palate, I like that. Before I knew it, the can was gone! Not bad. Could drink about 8 of these endearing little pony cans, hehehehh.

Pour is a cloudy brown with a large white head. Aroma is a bit of caramel malt with some toasted grain. Flavor is more of a sweet grain with a bit of caramel that hits at the end. Decent beer of a style I don't get to try very often.

12oz can c/o Ryan. Clean, crisp. Perhaps some corn in there to give it that classic American lager feel. Much better though of course. Hyper sessionable. OK.
