Pours a nice dark russet from a tap. Rich malty aroma and flavor, lightly sweet with a thin bitter finish. Very good beer.

[16oz can from Beer52.] A slightly hazy pale straw coloured pour with a loose white head; aroma of citrus rind of yeast; intense tropical fruit taste with sharp lemons and grapefruit; then a gentler grapefruit bitterness with a touch peppery heat. Rather good.

16 ounce can into lager glass, canned on 11/27/2018. Pours slightly hazy pale golden yellow color with a 1-2 finger dense and rocky white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice dense foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of lemon, cracker, white bread dough, toasted biscuit, wood, pepper, pine, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance of pale malts and earthy hop notes; with solid strength. Taste of big lemon, cracker, white bread dough, toasted biscuit, wood, pepper, pine, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, herbal, floral, woody, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of lemon, cracker, white bread dough, toasted biscuit, wood, pepper, pine, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Great robustness and balance of pale malts and earthy hop flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and no lingering hop astringency after the finish. Moderately crisp/clean finishing. Perfectly clean on lager flavors, with no fruity/yeasty notes present. Moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness and carbonation. Medium-plus carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth and moderately bready/grainy/sticky balanced mouthfeel that is great. Light lingering resins through the glass. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5.1%. Overall this is a delicious German pils. All around nice robustness and balance of pale malts and earthy hop flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink with the modestly bitter/drying finish, not aggressive. Very flavorful and not watery for the ABV. Awesome clean pils malt showcase, with perfectly balanced noble hops. Minimal residual sweetness with crisp dryness. A very enjoyable offering, and impressive spot on style example.

No date coding. Flavor shows bolder citrus, pear, mild floral. Low bitterness. Simple and straightforward with a nice citrus character throughout the beer.

16 oz can from Belmont Station. Almost clear golden pour with a rather thick fluffy head that eventually subsides to a thin skin. Full bready, grainy aroma. Taste is more of the Fine Malt backbone with just a kiss of Hops at the back, giving it the perfect bitter finish. This is very close to the German style, one of the most authentic since I've been back stateside. Really hits the spot.

16oz can pours out a dark brown almost black topped with a tan head. Nose is nice big roast malts coffee chocolate. Taste is more of the nice sweet milk chocolate some coffee.

Pint can from Beer 52, drank at home early hours of 6th May 2019. Poured into a Good People Brewing Company of Birmingham Alabama glass to make it feel at ease. Slight haze to the pale yellow body, white crown on top. Citrus nose and initial taste, some subtle pine notes appear late on. Hoppy throughout and refreshing, a little too highly carbonated for my palate, but a decent enough brew.
