12 oz. can from Total Wine. Pours a slightly hazy light yellow color with a large, bright white head and great retention. Less lacing than I expected . Standard pale malt aroma. Pretty standard pale malt flavor too, with a little diacetyl in the finish. Not quite as bready as a German Helles. Smooth, clean, and easy drinking. Medium-light body. Medium-high carbonation. Low bitterness. A nice anytime beer.

12 ounce can from Lower Merion Beverage in Ardmore, PA. Bright medium gold color. Large pillowy white head. Nice lacing. Grainy malt aroma hints at grassy hops. Flavor is grainy malt and spicy hops. Some peppery hop bitterness in finish.

Decent pils. Not a handball offense, directly leading to a Newcastle goal. Actually thought we looked decent this morning and certainly deserved a point.
