Can to lager glass.
Appearance: clear yellow color with a quarter finger of white foamy head which slid off nicely to barely leave any lace
Aroma: sweet grains, touch of floral hops and a light maltiness
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to a soft sweet maltiness; finishes the same way
Texture: light to medium bodied, very sessionable; some smoothness and nothing really there overbearing; good carb level
Overall: not a bad light lager. might be nice straight out of the can next time and possibly take some cans fishing or have grill side.

Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine crisp sweet malty to hoppy quality; finishes semi-crisp with a light cut of dryness

Overall: not a bad pale lager, it might be nice grill side this Summer.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: dark gold semi-hazy color with a quickly dissolving foamy head which barely left any lace
Aroma: loads of guava juice that seem to mesh with some mixed citrusy to orangey and piney hop tones; light malty backbone
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a sweet to bittersweet semi-juicy quality; finishes leaning into the guava juice and some orangey and lemony sweetness
Texture: light to medium bodied, somewhat sessionable; fairly smooth along the tongue with nothing distracting
Overall: nice enough fruited IPA I might be able to give another shot.

Draft at On Tap Bar & Grill, Essex Junction, VT on 07/10/2022.
Appearance: orange to red semi-cloudiness with a slim bar pour's kind of head which dissolved fairly quick and barely left any lace
Aroma: mixed citrusy to dark berries and some cherry sweetness; light sweet wheaty malts
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a semi-sweet to light tart and a touch of funky toned sweetness; finishes more towards the mixed citrusy and dark berry quality
Texture: light to medium bodied, somewhat sessionable; some smoothness but also seemed a little bit spritzy - higher carb than expected but I think that's what ZG was going for
Overall: I liked the aromas and flavor but I wasn't entirely a fan of the higher carb on this - almost seemed like a borderline seltzer, hmmmm...?

Can to lager glass.
Appearance: pale yellow-ed cardboard color with a finger's worth of white foamy head which dissolved nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: some earthy to herbal to floral and grassy hops up front with a stiff maltiness
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a semi-floral sweet to malty quality backed by a super light spicy hop tone; finishes semi-dry and herbal
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; some smoothness but some hop spicy punches to the tongue
Overall: I don't think this is exactly the Czech pilsener I was looking for but not super bad.
