Sampler at the Bull & Bush Pub & Brewery, Denver 11/10/2007 Some carbonation. Clear golden coloured hoppy floral and citrus with a crisp and creamy slightly dry finish.

Head is fully diminishing. Body is light yellow. Aroma is lightly malty (grain), lightly hoppy (herbs). Flavor is lightly to moderately sweet, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly sweet, moderately bitter, husky. Light to medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. Very light on character or flavor.

On tap @ Bull and Bush poured a clear pale yellow with a small diminishing white head. Aromas of Straw, light fruittiness and a hint of spice. Palate was light bodied and crisp. Flavors of straw,light fruittiness and light spice with a crisp lightly bitter finish.

I think the Hops are happy cuz they did’nt get boiled in this beer.

Tap at the brewpub - really light and clear (in the dim light of the pub, it’s hard not to think you’ve been given seltzer at first - a fairly bland pils that disappoints further by not being refreshing, thanks to a buttery diacetyl character - some crisp bitterness tries really hard to get your mind off of it, but eventually gives up the fight - not much going on here at all.

tap at the brewpub. good clear yellow color. smells of wet pavement and butter, and this is actually a good thing(not the butter part though). herbal hop flavor greet me at first, with a little more buttery diacetyl fun. a bit of sulphur, but overall not that bad, i’ve had many pilsners that were worse.

On tap. Pours gold, quite clear, with a small white head. Smells doughy, with hints at crackers, wood, and corn. It’s a pretty light beer, medium dry. I could use more hops on this one, but pilseners aren’t really my favorite style anyway. Hints at apples, wood chips, crackers, cereal are in the flavor. It’s a crisp and reasonable pils.
