Dec 28, 2007 Big hop/light skunk nose right before I bring the glass close to my nose, closer up I cannot penetrate the cloud of hops for any malt character at all. As it warms, a bit of grainy corn pops out. Pours a brilliantly clear light gold with a thick creamy white head which dissipates quickly to a foam ring and a foam blob in the middle caused by a stream of bubbles coming up from the bottom of the glass. In flavor, the balance is towards the hop bitterness but not overly so, the malt definitely supports its hoppiness but not in the least bit sweet. In the background is an earthy hard water quality. Finishes very clean with a lingering bitterness that is not harsh. Body is medium light with a moderately high carbonation. Surprisingly no carbonic bite. Feel is clean, but not smooth. No astringency.The aroma of this beer reminds me of the bees my grandfather used to drink when I was much younger, I can now see the appeal!

Dec 28, 2007 Took the hoppy thing to an extreme over the years, it’s so lean it lost it’s soul. Very high quality ingredients, though, just took the character right out of it. That is not to say I would decline it in favor of just about any, say, US Pilsner labelled beverage, where the ingredients, let alone the craftsmanship are mostly inferior.

Dec 26, 2007 Very light colored pilsner. Crisp and clean--good drinking beer for hot summer day. Not much flavor even being a pilsner. However, better than Radeberger and others like it.

Dec 21, 2007 Bottle. Pours medium gold color. Little head, no lace. Aroma is very faint with grassy /flowery notes. Taste has a strong malt backbone of caramel and bread. Spicy hops come on strong in the middle with a long lasting bitter finish. Not outstanding but enjoyable overall.
