Chomp Providence draught, 9/5/25.
Moderately hazy, blonde-brass. Small, white head.
Tropical fruit and white grape. Clean though the yeast is very fruity. Cracker and round citrus juice with a burst of sweet honey-like malt.
Very fruity with light mineral and big white wine. Juicy and soft at points though dries out w lots of cracker. Lingering spice, grape, tropical fruit. Good bitterness and reasonable malt depth for its size.

16 oz can. Aroma is mild pine/ herb, malt. Bolder malt backbone with honey like malt and soft pine. Finish is sweet. Not a ton going on here.

Can pour shared by AirForceHops--thanks, Chris! It's a hazy pale yellow with thin cap of off-white head and trace lacing. Aroma is mix of sweet vegetal/herbal and sweet fruit with vanilla. Taste is strong herbal/vegetal (bordering on skunk) along with milder citrus zest. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with smooth, frothy texture, average carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, good strength but don't love the herbal mix with the sweet aspect. Well crafted but doesn't work perfectly for me. Having said that, interesting for a pilsner.
Aroma is hops, grapeskin, grains. Taste is crisp, nice hop flavor, balanced, clean. This is really nice.

Taster pour on tap at the Rhode Island Brew Fest. It's an opaque light brown with ring of off-white head and light lacing. Aroma is fruit with grape highlights. Taste is vague fruit and perhaps grape in the finish with malts. Mouthfeel is medium side of light-to-medium bodied with thick, frothy texture, average-to-lively carbonation, crisp finish as taste. Overall, too carbonated and served a bit too cold to appreciate aroma and flavor. Might be better from a can at proper temperature
