A tribute to the German style of pilsner. A clear pale golden blonde body, almost fruity malts and pointly refined hops. Balanced and very drinkable Pils with great flavor.

500 ml, bottled 11/24/08. Clear straw with a thin, bubbly white head. Nose is brown sugar and light lemon. Crisp and milky with buzzy carb. Taste is toffee, orange, clover and dough. Dry finish with hints of tropical fruit. Another winner from Grand River.

A golden pils with a thick white head. A very nice biscuitty malt aroma, mineral notes and crisp German hops. In mouth, a sweetish biscuitty malt, lightly nutty, medium bodied. Growler from Inertiaboy. Shared Aug. 2008, with Capflu, GRM, et al., Brasseurs du temps gathering.

Bottle courtesy of Matt7215. Pours gold with a white head. Smells of dry malt, some peppery splashes. Tastes of caramel, sweet malt, apples, a touch of pepper. Inoffensive.

On tao @ C´est What? Fall Fest. Aroma is fine noble hops, quality malt, light yellow/golden, small tight white head. Great taste of malt, hops. Light bodied, clean, crisp , very well balanced, pleasant bitterness. Great!

Bright golden. Herbal aroma with light diacetyl. More of the same on the palate, the hop bite remaining somewhat modest. Sweet and biscuitty malts. Fairly dry finish, again with diacetyl.

Draught @ Cest What. Clear bright golen with off-white small head. Strong movie popcorn aroma is so amazing it’s as if it were purposeful. Butter, salt. The first time I’ve ever understood why people describe diacetyl using the popcorn analogy. But it’s not offensive here, it works! Enjoying the education.

500 mL bottle, bottled on September 09, 2008. Pours a clear, bright honey-golden color with an orange tinge; solid white head with fine-bubbled lacing. Creamy fruits, mineral bitterness, and just a touch of vanilla in the aroma; clean, crisp nose. Medium mouthfeel: dense honeyed malts (without being overly prominent), vibrant mineral bitterness, and plenty of soft, toasty malts; intensely drinkable, balanced, crisp rendition; similarities (esp. the fruitiness) to a helles; in any event, a tasty, nicely bitter lager. Medium finish: toasty malts, crisp minerally hops, and nicely dry to the core; minerals at the far end.

This Pils poured a clear light yellow colour with a big bright white head. To the nose there is scents of corn, yeast and grain. First taste was smooth and filled with corn flavour. The finish was slightly hoppy and a little sweet. Kind of generic but pretty good.
