Sep 1, 2005 (Draft: Celtic Bayou in Redmond, WA) More hoppy than the blonde ale, but the sweet, grainy flavor shows just as much presence, and this pilsner isn’t nearly as clean as I was expecting. Sweet and grainy aroma lacks the hop character of a good pilsner. The body is light-to-medium, but a bit heavier than most pilsners. Clear, golden color, with a whitish head that settles to a broken layer, but leaves a fairly large swatch of lace on the glass. Serviceable for a blonde ale, but not a good example of the pilsner style.

Sep 3, 2004 This was a really weak attempt at a pilsner. Way over hopped with some citrusy/floral hops, nothing subtle about, just in your face hops and bitterness. To bold of a beer that really missed the idea of the great delicateness of the pilsner style.

Aug 16, 2003 Golden blond with a nice layer of smooth cream. Crisp, clean, hop ping in the nose with some German hop flavor--of which I am not an aficianado. An easy drinking summer brew that failed to win me.
