5oz pour at the Chilliwack taproom. Pours clear blonde with a small white head. Slightly floral aroma. Flavour is yeasty, boiled vegetables, slightly floral. Quite poor.

Poured from 568mL can. Clear blonde gold with small white head. Clean bready pils malt with underlying grass hops, feint hint of tropical hops, comes together very nicely. Unusual pils, but enjoyable.

568mL can, pours a clear pale golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma is clean but deficient in hops, with straw, biscuity malt, and a touch of buried grassy hops. Flavour is crisp and clean, with crisp crackery malt, straw, and grassy hops that show their vibrance better than the aroma did. Clean, drinkable, but I still want more hops, especially from a purported west coast pils.

Dull pale, with some haze. Thin head. Some spicy equinox and dull pale malts, with lowish bitterness for a pilsner. Like, okay that splash of hop in the finish reminds me that it's a pilsner and not some random non-style...but it shouldn't come to that. There's a good beer in there, somewhere.

Poured from 473mL can. Hazy yellow gold with white head. Mild citrus and stone fruit hops, heavy yeast character (not chalky, but moreso weighing down the beer like a hefe would), slightly oily, a bit muted. subpar DIPA.

A bit dull, hazy. Thin head. Aroma somewhere in the stone fruit/mint/lemonbalm pocket, with extra camphor. I have to be honest. I can count on one hand the number of beers I've pulled camphor from.
Has that cryo pop thing that smells like birthday cake Gu, but with mandarin oranges, so I'm certainly happy with the hop expression. Now the challenge here is that's a great bit of hop but the malt is mediocre at best, no real sweetness or brightness, just allows the yeast to clunk the living shit out of this. This 100% feels like trying to run before you know how to walk.

Bright gold, with a medium head. The aroma is a hoot - pine, sage, and some tropical notes. Sweet malts up front, with lemony notes, light pine, some biscuity warmth, and a lowish bitterness. More lemon/pine in the finish, too. So basically I'm taking that as the El Dorado being more expressive on the nose...I wasn't convinced it was going well with the Centennial but I wanted that character to roll through the palate. Alas, it did not. It's still a good pilsner, but not as interesting to study.

19.2oz can. Pours clear pale blonde with a white head. Fresh grass and dank oils on the nose. Flavour has fresh grass, dank oils, cracker malts. Carbonation could be stronger and the body is pretty thin. I like the hop expression.

473mL can. Pours clear pale blonde with a white head. Straw, fresh grass, and cracker malts on the nose. Flavour has slightly floral, grassy hops and biscuit malts; sweetness does have a honey-like quality. Could use more of a bite, but otherwise pleasant enough.

Pale and opaque. The aroma on this is mango and lime, with a bit of bright stone fruit hop in there as well. Big lime on the palate, lots of pale malt and mango, too. Lowish bitterness. Pretty good, though, as it's decently balanced and bright.
