Bottle from Craft Brewed. Pours a clear goldenrod color with a full finger of foam that lingers throughout. Grassy hop aromas and straw on the palate with a touch of apricot. Palate has lots of peach & apricot with peppercorn. Crisp carbonation and texture with a prickly pear bitter finish. Really well done and enjoyable. --- Beer aliased from original tick of Aerialist Spring Lager on 09 Apr 2018 at 19:19 - Score: 7.

12 ounce bottle into lager glass, bottled on 5/18/2017. Pours lightly hazy pale golden yellow color with a 1 finger dense and rocky white head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lasts the whole glass. Nice dense soapy lacing clings down the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of tangerine, peach, apricot, lemon, pear, apple, mango, melon, berry, citrus zest, light pepper/pine, cracker, white bread, biscuit dough, light honey, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of citrus/fruity hops and bready malt notes; with solid strength. Taste of tangerine, peach, lemon, pear, apple, mango, melon, berry, citrus zest, light pepper/pine, cracker, white bread, biscuit dough, light honey, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Very mild pine, herbal, grassy, spicy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, peach, apricot, lemon, pear, apple, mango, melon, berry, citrus zest, light pepper/pine, cracker, white bread, biscuit dough, light honey, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity hops and bready malt flavors; with a nice malt/bitterness balance, and zero cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Fairly crisp/clean finishing. Lightly increasing dryness from bitterness. Very clean on lager flavors, with minimal yeast notes present. Medium carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately bready/grainy, and lightly sticky mouthfeel that is nice. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5.5%. Overall this is a very good hoppy pale lager style. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity hops and bready malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink; with the mildly bitter finish. Balanced Hull Melon/Mandarina hops and Pils malt flavors. Very flavorful for the ABV. Nice hop flavor presence, without much bitterness. A very enjoyable offering.

Draft at Salud. Crystal clear golden aroma, dense white head with good retention and solid lacing, a truly gorgeous beer, especially after muddling through murky IPAs. Nice aroma of meadow, melon and citrus. Taste is peppery lager, crisp finish. Tasty.

Bottle: Bubbly, cloudy, tan-gold with a small white head. Fruity, orange and melon scent. Taste is sweet, semi-tropical citrus. Very pleasant citrus-peel bittering. Lagery...with some APA character. Very good.

Bottle. Earthy orange/melon, caramel malt and grapefruit peel aroma. Cloudy golden yellow with small head. Moderately sweet citrus, creamy caramel malt, and moderately bitter grapefruit peel flavor. Nice body. Very good.
