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.

Growler from brewery’s retail store. Pours a nice light golden colour (almost yellow) with a small thin head. Grainy nose with a floral hint. Nice clean grainy flavour with a smooth mouthfeel and a little bitterness in the finish.

On tap at C’est what. Very light, guzzlable pils with a creamy, smooth texture, some dry hops and a citrus/floral tinge to it. Nothing crazy, fairly classic and mild pils.

Drank many samples of this at the Pheonix Beerfest in Hamilton. Appearance is a golden yellow with nice carbonation and a fairly frothy head. Aroma is pleasing, with a straw base being complimented by citrus notes and a little bit of fruit. Taste is quite grainy, with sweet fruits, a little bit of buscuit and a perfect amount of bitter hops to finish. Another great beer from Grand River.

Sampled at Brewery. Really fresh, clean taste with straw and citrus notes. I don’t normally like a fizzy beer, but this one worked well. This is may well be the best summer beer I’ve tasted.

Appearance: Mild golden appearance with fine medium, fairly creamy top , some lace noted. 3+
Nose : Sweet , grainy front with fruity hop backing..
Flavor/Palate : medium bodied with lighter palate. Slightly sour , grainy hints up front followed by dry hay. To much of fruity bitterness on palate to be true helles yet not nearly enough of hop profile for pils. Malty softness was proper to intended style. Brew that grows on you the more you drink, that’s good. Currently with this batch I would classify under premium lager category.12+/20

2008-05-10. Crisp golden yellow body with a small white head and light lacing. (3+) Interesting aroma, light grassy floral hops with allusions to fruit. (6+) Flavour has a similar hop spectrum, light grass, straw and floral with modest not quite fruit aromas - perhaps citric hops? (6+) Palate is slightly fuller bodied than average. (3+) Well made, pleasant, but I would personally reach for one of the breweries other offerings first. On tap at Volo
