$2.49 can from Total Wine, Gainesville. Pop the can and it comes oozing out - not a great start. Pours black with a giant tan head. Aroma is powdered cocoa, greases. Flavor is powdered coca, chocolate candy, light nuttiness. Meh.

$2.00 can from Beer Run. Pours pale hazy gold with a white head. Aroma is grain, green grass, light lemon zest. Flavor is lemony bread, grain, cereal, green grass, hose, green leaf.

Can from a branch of Total wine in Sterling, Virginia. Pale gold in colour, with moderate carbonation. Light, citrus hops, solid lager malts, a hint of lemon and lingering, bitter finish. Good.

On draught at Yellowstone Garage.

Pours a brilliantly clear straw gold with a little head of foam, pretty good lacing.

Smells lightly hoppy, grainy, some sweet notes.

Taste is grainy, corny, kinda sweet, bits of grassy hops.

Light body with medium carbonation.

Not very Pilsner like at all but decent.

Hay nose, oats underneath. Crystal clear pale yellow, thin head. Hay, light cane sugar sweetness, oats. Light body, soft carbonation.

From a 12 oz. can. Pours a clear orange gold with a thick off white head. Aromas are of hay and grass. Flavors are bitter pine.

Bought at Liquor Shed.

It pours a clear pale gold, plenty of foam, yeah, and lacing.

Smells of grapefruit citrus and pine, floral and fruity. Not much of a malt presence in the smell. Double IPA.

Ahh..there's the malt, in the taste. Sweet but not over the top like some of the style. Hops well represented as in the smell. Low dankness level. Smooth, not overly boozy. Little bit of onion, thankfully not too much.

Medium bodied with lightish carbonation.

Above average for the style. I like it.

Bought at Liquor Shed.

Pours a very dark brown, aboot an inch of tannish foam with nice lacing.

Roasted malt, some smoke, milk chocolate nose.

Taste is kinda roasty, light smoke, milk chocolate with the lactose fairly prominent. Both bitter and sweet, nice balance going on.

Medium bodied with close to medium carbonation.

Excellent flavours going on at 5.5%abv.

Can. Clear light gold body. Short white head. Aroma of toasted grain, bread, light corn, light floral. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter. It finishes lightly to moderately sweet and lightly to moderately bitter. Medium body, watery, texture, lively carbonation. Crisp enough and fairly clean, but otherwise it just sits there. Sweet with some earthy, toasted grain taste.
