12 ounce can from Woodman's Lakemoor, 11/30/19. Hazy golden orange head, large fizzy white head, decent retention. Aroma of lemon, orange juice, doughy malt. Taste is doughy pale malt, orange, lemon, green hops. Medium bodied, low carb, low to medium bitterness, decent balance. Needs some tweaking, but its a solid pils.
