One of the 12 beers in the Beer Camp Across America collaboration pack. Had on draft at beer camp philly as well as in bottle in the pack. Hazy straw in color with a slowly dissipating frothy white head, leaving coating lacing down the sides of the glass. Fruity, floral, and grassy aromas. Light body with grassy flavors at the forward opening up into fruity citrus hop notes like star fruit, mango, ruby red grapefruit. Ends with a malty dry hop bite. Smooth, crisp and refreshing, this is a 'new Zealand' take on a classic pilsener. Enjoyable but not one of the absolute standouts of the pack. Definitely decent though.

A nice flavorful heavy pilsner with mild hops. This is pretty good beer

Hops less pronounced the more you drink. Tastes kind if soapy after a while

Hazy straw colored body with white head and good lace. Head retention is quite nice with sticky lacing. Fruit, floral, citrus and grass aromas. Grassy, bread, light malt flavors that end with dry hop bitterness. Light bodied, smooth, crisp and refreshing.

Well it's a basic pilsner with a taste of hops. Prolly wouldn't buy it again. I am such a fan of firestone it hurts to not give a positive review. Just a bit too bland for me.
