Can to becher pint glass.
Appearance: yellow transparent color with a two finger white foamy head which dissipated mildly to leave some light lace
Aroma: sweet grains, some clean grassy hoppiness, light malts
Flavor: semi-sweet, biscuity and slight sweet grass or straw; mild aftertaste of biscuits, grains and grass
Texture: light bodied, sessionable, finishes semi-smooth and crisp
Overall: I guess there was an ale yeast used in this but man oh man, did this look, smell and taste like a clean lager or what! No worries, it was brewed well enough to come back to.

Pours clear gold into a tulip. White head with medium retention recedes leaving trailing spiders. Mango and passion fruit aromas. Medium bodied with sweet pineapple and passion fruit upfront turning to dry pith before the lasting overripe tropical fruit skin finish.

Can pour at the DCBeer December 2025 share. Poured a clear copper orange color with a small white head. Aroma was sweet malts, a touch of maple syrup. Sweet, with some pleasant earthy notes. Nice.

Canned 7/23/25, drunk 11/20/25 as pictured.
Very hoppy, fresh herbal nose with clean, crisp, aromatics and light yeast minerality. Light hints of caramel give it a robust feel, but it's mostly baguette-and-honey-like base malt.
Equally clean, crisp, light and dry in the mouth but with ample malt depth and fresh, playful, fruity hops. Great balance, crisp finish replete with yeast. A bit more bread and slight caramel than usual for the style, but doesn't seem to be a problem.

Pint can. Pours a hazy yellow with a big foamy white head that had good retention. The aroma was faded and washed out straw. The taste on the other hand was breads, mild grains and noble hops. Big bready finish. Palate was crisp but seemed just a bit too thin. Overall: Decent, would drink this every day, but $20 a four pack is just a bit too steep for an everyday drinking Pils.
