This was an almost perfect pils for the beach - cool and crisp, lightly sweet, a dusting of peppery hops. Plenty of flavor yet still light and refreshing. (OBX-2005)

has a different taste than i am used to. not as crisp and clean as i was expecting, but hey, every beer is different. drank it from the bottle, because i dont really enjoy pouring pilsners- they all look the same, there is no point. has a fruity taste that i cant really pinpoint. still good, one of these guys better brews.

Bottle pours a slightly hazy light straw, small creamy white head, attractive lacing, with soft carbonation.   Very light straw aroma with some pear mixed in.   Grassy up front, with a slight graininess.   Minor tinges of pear and flora blend in.   Not as clean and crisp on the finish as I would prefer, but still this one isn’t too bad.   Thanks goes out to ross8425 for the trade!

On tap at location. Good but not exceptional. Easy drinking, but I’d like a little more hop kick.

Crystal clear straw body topped by small white head. Aroma is mild sweet, sharp herbal, some grassy. Taste is medium intensity bitter, herbal and moderate grassy, mild sweet. Medium body, not particularly crisp.

Bottled. I'm not a pilsener fan. This was pretty good for a pils. Had a nice malty flavor with a hint of tan in the color.

Very pale straw color along the lines of a light apple juice. Scant bright white head -- poor retention. Fairly effervescent. mild apple/pear/berry aroma - not all aggressive. expected a little more. On the palate it's attack of the killer bubbles. Water thin. flavor is mild cereal flavor with a very good hop finish. A little unbalanced in my book. Overall, a good American pilsner but does not measure up against better European examples.
