From Good Times Oakland, canned date is smudged so I can't read it.
Pours a hazy orange, finger of foam, retention is very good, lacing is excellent.
The smell is hoppy, big notes of grapefruit, light pine, no tropical fruit that I can discern.
The taste is grapefruit, some orange zest, light pine, sweet caramel malt, strong flavours with the alcohol showing up but not overwhelmingly.
Mouthfeel is fine, I would drink this again.

Poured from a 16 oz can dated December 03, 2024.
Aroma is grain forward and breast with lighter rice notes. Medium light herbal and woody hop notes with hints of alcohol. Light floral and fruity esters.
Pours a very clear, brilliant, yellow-gold with a medium sized, medium thick, fluffy, white head that recedes steadily to a small film that lingers. Medium light lacing and faint legs.
Flavor is somewhat sweet with medium bready grain and rice notes. Medium low bitterness and hints of alcohol. Light herbal, woody hop notes. Some light fruity eaters.
Mouthfeel is light bodied and slightly crisp with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth.
Overall, a decent lager with nice malt, rice and hop notes. It's not as crisp as I would have expected. Hop and malt notes are nice but the fruity and floral esters kind of middle the beer.

Poured from a 16 oz can dated October 08, 2024.
Aroma is fairly hoppy with nice herbal, floral and spicy hop notes. Medium light bready grain notes and hints of alcohol.
Pours a slightly hazy, pale, yellow gold color with a large, thick, pillowy, white head that recedes slowly to a small film that lingers in clumps. Moderately high lacing and small legs.
Flavor is a bit sweet with moderate bready, grain notes. Medium bitterness and light alcohol notes. Medium light herbal, spicy, floral hop notes.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth.
Overall, a solid pilsner even if it wasn't particularly fresh. Classic noble hip aroma with great pilsner notes. It's a bit of a big beer though and not particularly crisp. Still easy drinking though.

Can from The Davis Beer Shoppe. Pours clear bright gold with a large foamy white head. Aroma is grassy/spicy. Nearly med body. Flavor is mildly bready with grass/spice. Dry. Lightly bitter. I could live with more hop, but it's good.
