Dec 18, 2009 Draft at the Tavern. Pale gold, slight turbidity, with tall white head, some lacing. Bergamot and bready notes mostly mask a twinge of funk. Dry,forward bitterness and a pithy middle. Finish is a little tart. This beer favors warmer seasons, but a nice utility beer overall.

Jun 9, 2008 Updated: Sep 5, 2008This is ok, but pretty standard for micro-brew lagers and not nearly among the best. It also lacks much hop presence, in taste or bitterness and, key for my own preferences, does not taste German or Czech. It is golden with a medium off-white head and smells of perfumy grain/dry hay with honey and a hint of lemon. The taste is light, mostly the light, non-toasty aromatic grain/dry hay that I find common in many light or golden ales and lagers from this general region. This is ok but I personally find it tiresome. It has a very faint lemony hop element and almost no bitterness while the flavours lack complexity or any herbal or real grassy or piney qualities, toastiness, or caramel, etc. It is very light, simple, and to me uninteresting. I would call this simply a lager, not a pilsner. In bitterness and hop character, it’s weaker and more bland than Pabst Blue Ribbon, or Stella Artois. It is like a simpler, blander, less well-crafter version of Moonlight Luntic Lager, and is far less complexor hoppy (to say nothing of Reality Czech). However, it is clean, with nothing off or soapy about it.
