Commercial Description:
It is light in color, body, and alcohol. We use a very special fermentation routine to give this beer an exceptionally smooth flavor, and just the right amount of noble hops for a balanced yet distinctive hop character.

Draft at the brewpub on 3/24/2008. Clear gold with a solid white head and some good lace, a nice looking Pils. Aroma is grainy and husky, with some spicy hop notes coming through. Light/medium body, assertively carbonated, and a pleasantly dry palate. The malty sweetness dominates the flavor, with some soft bitterness coming in quite late. Not quite enough of a hop bite.

Bomber poured a clear yellow with a small lingering white head. Aromas of straw, spicy hops and a hint of citrus. Palate was medium bodied and crisp with a dry finish. Flavors of straw and spicy hops with a crisp dry moderatly bitter finish.

This has the possibility to be a decent pilsner, if it works out some of its imbalances. Husky grainy malt texture, sweet, and lacking in hop bitterness, some lemony acidity and light carbonation.

Draft @ the brewery. Poured in yellow gold with a small one fingered off-white head. The aroma was earthy malts, cereal, and grains, no real hop notes. The flavor was citrus (lemon) and some honey. As others have said I picked up a floral bouquet. Clean crisp finish with a light mouth feel. I wanted more hops. Passable.

Had this beer at the All Colorado Beer Fest on 11/10/2007. Aroma is a faint malt scent. Color is a bright gold with fair carbonation and a thin head. Taste has a sweet malt flavor and very mild bitterness but then has a bad after taste. Its just not a good beer.
