Mar 20, 2007 Sampled from a growler on 8/26/06: Pours a clear bright golden with thin, wispy lacing. Aroma of mostly dry, lightly sweet pale malt with good authentic Saaz hoppiness. Starts with a lightly sweet pale malty presence and good, lightly bitter fresh Saaz hops. Smooth, balanced and drinkable.

Sep 6, 2006 Growler hand delivered by the brewer. Poured a lightly hazed yellow color. Nice floral notes with a decent malt balance. Also notes of candy and gum. Malty flavor had a mild floral taste to it and a light bitter finish.

Sep 2, 2006 A nice pilsner here. A grassy and lemon aroma. A cloudy yellow appearance with a moderate head. The flavor was somewhat sweet with a grassy and saaz hop flavor. Just what you would look for in a pils.

Aug 28, 2006 The brewer brought this to KP’s in a growler to share. Thanks man. Pours a moslty clear light gold with a thin lasting head. Aroma is american hops (brewer told me he used some chinook in there), alson noticed a small amount of DMS which is common in some pilsners, and a slight metallicy hop hint- common of some american hops. Lgith body and flavor, some light malts and a stronger than expected bitterness with slight astringency.
