4 of 5

It's still a little young but here goes. Hop aroma is Nobel with more citrus, lemon specifically. My guess is that's the Motueka and Pacifica in the late hops. Reminds me a little of Corona with a slice of lemon in it. the Pilsner malt comes through too.

Flavour-wise, the Pilsner malt and citrus hops are dominant. Bitterness is what I'd call medium for the style, could have supported a little more to let the finish linger longer.

It's not amazing interesting but fresh, approachable, and quenching. I would have killed to be able to brew this 10 years ago and at less that $1 per litre I ain't complaining!
