Enjoyed a fresh tallboy can with chicken fajitas.

A: Pours a slightly golden-straw color with ample bubbling. One-finger slightly-off-white head with fair retention gives way to thin but persistent lacing.

S: Above all else, extremely fresh. Light bready malts with faint lemony hops. Lager yeast is evident but smells to be of a foreign strain. Reminiscent of drinking fresh lagers in Germany.

T: Bready malt becomes sweeter over time and is well complemented by a citrusy hop bite. Dry, lager-yeast finish. Hint of saffron. Extremely fresh.

M: Carbonated well. Lots of zing but slightly thin-bodied. Warming alcohol at end is pleasant and mild. Very sessionable.

O: I seldom reach for a lager, but this is an exception. The evident quality of ingredients and hoppy twist make this a new favorite for this IPA-lover. I will be going back to this again and again.

look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4

Appearance: Poured a nice gold with a slight straw. Good clarity. Two and a half finger white fluffy head.

Aroma: Pils malts. Light bread. Herbal/earthy hops with a very slight floral.

Taste: Similar to smell. Herbal/earthy hops upfront along with a slight floral as well. Light breadiness; it leans more cracker-like. There is a slight lemon/honey thing going on, but it is not much. Just barely there.

Mouthfeel: Crisp and refreshing mouthfeel. Feels full. Goes down smooth.. Finish has light herbal bitterness.

Overall: Crisp as properly named. A nice canned pilsner that seem to have everything a pils should and tastes good. Definitely would have again.

Pours a great golden color. smells like lemon, grass, wheat. Initial taste is one of very little as far as complex flavors but I guess just what it claims to be...'crisp'. Mouthfeel watery, smooth and slightly bitter. Not one of my favorites and likely not added to my must have in fridge list.
