Bottle sample at a tasting. Slightly hazy golden with a white head. Hoppy aroma with some malt. Dry flavor with only a bit of malty sweetness. Finishes with a rather strong hoppy bitterness. Medium-bodied. Quite nice but not exactly true to the style.

This beer came in my beer club. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a vibrant golden color with a huge yellow-white head. The aroma was sour, malty, slightly sweet and a bit industrial. The flavor was sour, tangy and bitter with a light floral hop presence.

Bottle (actually a six pack consumed over the past week and change). Pours copper gold with a generous white head. Smells of perfume, caramel, dry malt, floral hints, some pepper. Tastes of caramel, touches of bitterness and spice and a nice dry finish. Very drinkable.

Bottle. Pours clear golden with a small white head. Aroma is mostly of the grassy hops with some light malt. Flavor is very crisp due to the amount of hops but the hops is not overwhelmingly strong.

Bottle. Typical pilsner style lager, with a light body and not much malt character. Slightly more hops than macros, which makes all the difference with this beer.

Bottle. Pours with a golden color. Aroams of grains, flavors are fairly grainy, some hops and mlats, but a bit rough around the edges. Not a true to style Pilsener in my book, just ok.

Bottle. Pours clear gold with a persistent and lacy white head. Typical pilsner nose. Light body and active carbonation. Taste starts lightly sweet with some biscuit and herbal notes. Bitter dry finish.

A friend brought this for me from Cape Cod. Yellow-golden color, completely lucid, with a small head. Aroma is corn-y with grassy hops and white bread biscuit maltiness. Taste has NO corn (hooray) but clean lagered malt with a very nice clean, lightly mineral, very refreshing brisk flavor. Some almost apple juice faint flavor at the end to add a dimension of sweetness. Very refreshing finish and makes the beer extremely quaffable. Some above average carbonation rounds it off to add to the refreshing aspect of the beer.
Bottled on 7 122 (??? beats me..??)
12oz bottle, flute-like Grolsch glass.
