Surprisingly decent light beer, with significant bitterness. I have had a few lighter but still bitter beers. Weighs in at 4.4% abv and listed as a pilsner. Very light yellow yet delivers some flavour. Fresh bottle at the brewery.Above average pale lager.

Picked up a six of this at the brewery the other day, needed a light beer replacement for the "big three" so I picked this one up.

This poured a bit darker than your standard light lager however it still retains the boring head that most light lagers tend to portray. Smell is grainy, reminiscent of a German Pilsener. This has a bold hop character and the flavor of this brew is very much like an authentic German Pilsener, with some malt flavor in the finish.

Decent beer, Great light beer. Definitely worth a try..

This is the only light beer I have ever tasted that delivers malty lager taste.

This one is a pale straw color like other light beers but that’s where the similarity ends. Has a lasting frothy cap that leaves adequate lace on the glass.

Mild malty-citrus aromas with no off tones or adjuncts...

.... light body, crisp but mild mouth feel but you can taste a good dose of biscuit malt over some decent lemon grass hops. Finish is clean with some cidery fruit dryness with a light biscuity after taste.

Malty, citrusy, light, crisp (without being sharp or too dry) refreshing and very drinkable...very much like a pale, light version of an Edelhell. The best light beer I have tasted....this would sub for a session lager or a patio drink with mixed company in a pinch.
