Jul 12, 2004 Updated: Aug 18, 2009The pour reveals a clear dark golden color with a medium, bubbly, white head that has good retention. Solid aroma of noble hops and biscuity malt. Very good flavor of biscuity malt and astringent noble hops, there’s bitterness in the end. The body is light with a creamy texture and medium carbonation. This clean pilsener is highly enjoyable.

Jun 8, 2004 Light golden yellow in colour. Aroma was mildly malty, with some grassy hops. Flavour was nicely hopped, some earth, malt, citrusy bitterness. Finishes dry. Well balanced and very nice.

Jun 7, 2004 Golden yellow witha white head. Grassy hoppy aroma, Reminds me a lot of something else (perhaps King Pilsener and others?) with a slightly "creamy" flavour. It’s not creamy but its the closest word I can come up with. Very pleasant beer. Mondiale 2T (Capflu).

May 24, 2004 Golden colour. Nutty, malty aroma. Crisp palate. Saaz hops in abundance (~32 IBUs I’d guess). Long, grassy, noble bitterness. I like it.

May 1, 2004 Updated: Aug 27, 2008Clear mid-straw, mid-golden yellow with a moderate sticky white head. Aroma contains a good saaz dose, but mostly a big malt profile, slightly caramelic and hay-ish at times. Taste is very herbal, floral saaz, crisp with moderate carbonation and a light-medium creamy body. The thing is.. after prima pils and a few magnificient sunny and warm spring days, I’m really raging for a good pilsner and I don’t find it, blessed be Victory. Back to the beer, I like a good floral hops character which elixir céleste has, but a bit too subdued to my liking. This and the malt, while perfectly toasty lacks a bit of the cookieness I adore and at times approach cerealic or almost grainy nuances. No defaults, diacetyl or off-flavours though, just a difficult to please taster. Still pretty good, but the kind of beer that gets killed from high expectations.
After almost 3 years of absence, this is back and seemingly better than ever. Seriously, I know my tastes have evolved, but this just seemed like the best beer on the menu yesterday, with the likes of Péché Mortel and Chaman also being on the board. Remarkably fresh, vibrant pils malt character: bready, chewy yet crisp, fresh and clean cereals. Fresh cut grass and hay, floral hops. Full bodied, delicate yet tight carbonation. Plain delicious. From 3.5 to 4.3.
