May 30, 2004 Deep copper, with an inch head. Sweetish, with a bit of metallic taste. Kinda citrusy, but not overly- a nice beer, but nothing extraordinary. Had it on tap in California at the brewery.

May 28, 2004 Better than the golden export, but still very bland. Had a cleaner taste, could actually tell it was lightly hopped (slight citrusy aroma), and it was ok to wash down some fries, but still just above macro, well below good local micro (I had a king brewery pilsner earlier in the evening). Theirs is a reason they have lowered the price of a pint to $3.50 Canadian at the Whitby, Ontario location – they simply do not make outstanding beer.

May 23, 2004 I really enjoyed this beer. Smelled "fresh" Smooth bready malts combined with more of a peppery saaz finish than I expected. Another nice hot weather beer.

May 22, 2004 On draft at LAX. Really hit the spot at 11:30 AM. Passed on the extra shot of booze at $2, and passed on the California Pizza special. Hey - microbrew in the Airport - try Hartzfield sometime.

Mar 12, 2004 Updated: Mar 13, 2004Bottle: Gordon Biersch-if you have had one you have had them all. This one has the same sweet honey like start as the others, but with just a hint of hop spice in the finish.

Feb 18, 2004 Fairly convincing noble hop character in this, smooth and clean with good malt backbone and a refined bitterness and floral noble hop aroma. Fairly fresh bottle, less than a month old, sometimes in a beer like this that makes all the difference...

Feb 14, 2004 Boring. Flavor is weaker than some macroswill. Just a touch of malt biscuit in the aroma and flavor, finishing with bitter hops. The definition of lameness. A poem, anyone?
Gordon Biersch woke up one day
To brew some beer, pave the way
To a time of good fun and cheer
Which requires, my friend, a tall glass of beer
A pilsner! He cried, red in the face
Ran to his kettle, this was a race
To gain praise and fame for brewing this pleasure
A beer quite tasty yet light as a feather.
The yeast got to work, the slurry was clear
"Pilsner" was ready, the day was now near
The cap popped off and the liquid did pour
Alas, only to anguish and bore.

Jan 31, 2004 Very pale yellow. Nice clean and crisp flavor. I didn't notice any hops in either the aroma or the flavor. Your standard pilsner.
