Smell: Mostly lemon with a hint of pine. Fairly subdued, but refreshing.

Taste/Mouthfeel: Excellent lemon crispness provides a good mouthfeel. Smooth finish. Flavors consist of a hint of lemon tartness initially and strong pine hops in the finish. The finish in particular sneaks up on you.

4.11/5  rDev +6.5%
look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 4.25

Appearance: Transparent golden straw with a half finger white head. Lots of lacings.

Aroma: Grassy with some floral notes. A touch of spicy hops. Some grains.

Taste: A little doughy in the beginning but a quick transition to hops. Grassy with some herbal and floral. Light spiciness and some citrus. Bits of grain. A real nice biscuity malts.

Mouthfeel: Medium-light with medium carbonation. Feels almost crisp. A pleasant clean mild, lightly spicy bitterness in the finish. Just a touch dry as well.

Overall: I think this is a fantastic lager. Not only refreshing, but it has incredible drinkability. A good lager from a local brewery.

4.25/5  rDev +10.1%
look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 4.25

Appearance: The clear golden liquid arrives at the bar with a reasonable head that leaves a bit of lacing behind

Smell: A hint of the biscuit and plenty of grain and grass

Taste: Biscuity malts lay down the backbone and the grassy hops add a nice bitter tone; very clean in the finish in a way that shows off the Noble hops well

Mouthfeel: Light to medium body with moderate carbonation; could be crisper

Overall: This is a very fine example of a US brewed pilsner; not often that I come across one that is this good

Serving type: on-tap
