12 oz can dated canned 111015. Six pack actually named "Crazy Fresh Pils" Into a pint glass A: Hazy medium gold color with small tight head and large bubbles. S: Crisp cracker malt scent with herbal/grassy hops blending in nicely. T: Bitterness and bread hit the tongue at the same time with the biscuit fading and the resinous hop note lingering a bit longer. Pretty hoppy pils for sure. Hops just as pronounced though not as clean as in the nose. Not bad. M: Feels a bit on the heavy side with hop resin on the medium length finish. This makes the beer not seem as refreshing and crisp as you may expect from a pilsner. O: Looks decent, smells really good and tastes pretty good too. Chewy finish was a bit unexpected but does not necessarily detract from the overall experience. This beer does exude quality ingredients and is not just another cookie-cutter pils. First time I’ve seen this canned and it is worth trying at least if you’re a NC pilsner fan.

355ml can. Minimally cloudy, orangey deep golden to amber colour with huge, thick, fluffy, mostly lasting, moderately lacing, white head. Citrusy and piney, hoppy aroma, notes of orange, some lemon and grapefruit, caramel malty background. Taste is initially moderately sweet caramel malty, citrusy and slightly piney, hoppy middle mart with hints of orange and lemon, fading out to a slightly watery finish with a minimally bitter and chalky touch. Juicy, hoppy, a bit weak in taste overall.

Can, tasting at Matt’s
Blond color, relatively clean, with small head. The aroma is estery and boozy. Sweet and boozy, with shallow flavors, more fruity than spicy. Classic example of fake Belgian mess with the alcohol trying to balance the sugar.
Cloying.

Can - Sweet, lemon and lots of yeast. Clear gold with a decent white. Sweet, grainy, yeasty and an estery finish. Not a fan.

12 oz. can, pours a clear pale golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma is very floral, with tons of fruity esters, Belgian yeast and floral notes. Flavour is fairly sweet and floral, with lots of Belgian yeast, fruity esters, floral soapy notes and a some alcohol. Finishes floral, alcoholic and fruity. Pretty solid, but far from an authentic tripel. Okay.

2015 beer advent. Pours very light, and nicely carbonated. But lacking belgian yeast flavours, bitter citrus (off) flavours, not great for the style. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

355ml can from 2015 Craft Beer Advent Calendar. Pours a hazy golden with a small, short lived, white head that leaves spotty lacing. Sweet aroma of bubble gum, banana, citrus, yeast and grain. Sweet flavour of bubble gum, banana, yeast and citrus with some tartness in a dry, alcohol finish. Medium body with a slick texture and average carbonation. Just ok.
