341 ml bottle from the LCBO. pours yellow with a nice everlasting white head. aromas are pale lager malts and some grassy hops. flavours are stunningly complex for a pils. very tight with bitterness coming from hops that i didnt pick up on in the nose. the flavours are big and bold in the mouth. i nice tight package. very very good for a pilsner.

4.8% ABV
I tried this beer on July 22, 2008 at the "Beer Bistro" in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The beer was translucent, gold in colour, and had a thin white head. The aroma was biscuity malt, with a small amount of hoppy floralness. The mouthfeel was crisp, medium bodied, with medium carbonation. The flavour was grainy malt, a little fruity sweetness, and a small hoppish finish.

Aug 7, 2008 341 ml bottle from the LCBO. Not a typical pilsner for me. A good amount of hops. I will buy this again.

Jul 7, 2008 Pours a light golden colour with decent carbonation and a proper white cap. The aroma is grain mostly, a little bit of grass, surprisingly very little hops. The flavour is very bready, with some good dry hoppy flavour in the middle, and a touch of honey at the end. All and all, a pretty good beer, on par with creemore’s attempt

Tasted after reading a profile in TAPS magazine.
Pours a very well carbonated light golden colour. Not a very large head however, could be due to poorly washed glassware (IE, With jetdry)
The nose is very bready and surprisingly very little hops in the smell. The taste is another story, starts off with a chewy malt/bread taste which is rapidly transformed into a very nice bitter hops taste. From there the mouthfeel is above average and the aftertaste is delightful and stays with you. This is certainly not a beer for you if you aren’t a fan of hops. I however am a fan of hops, and so I am a fan of this brew as well.
