Dull colour, lacking both carbonation and head. Smells kind of catty, a little bit minerally, and fairly herbal. Drinks light - not really enough bitterness for a pilsner. Still a bit catty in the hop character. The malts aren’t bad, but they’re not bright either. A bit disappointing.

(12oz bottle, bottled first week, November) Small white head atop clear straw body. Aroma is mild, medium sweet,some herbal/floral, grain. Taste is medium sweet, herbal, cereal, some floral, light metallic. Some bitterness, to be certain, but very mild. Light-medium body.

Light burnished amber body wearing a sticky if thin white head. Gentle caramelly nose with plenty of fresh hay and crisp grassy tones. Delicious toffee notes mingle around the slight apparent tartness and beg for a sip. Nutty palate, floral and highly crisp. Could use more bitterness, but this must have a few months on it easily. Crushed grains suggestions create a superb cereal side that shows its malt foundations through a firm medium body. Great pils.

Pours a clear golden with a thin white head. Aroma is a green leafy and flowery one. Flavor has some malt profile, but a strange off-putting chemical (acetone and ammonia) finish hovering on a Saaz hop bitterness. This really tasted awry to me, perhaps I got an old bottle. I wouldn't know, the bottle only lists the week and month the beer was brewed, no year.
