If you like the pilsner style then you’ll probably like this brew. It has the typical straw-yellow appearance and malty flavor with a hint of German style thrown in.

Bottle. Gold color with a big foamy head. Hop and barley aroma that is also sort of earthy and musty. Light palate. Flavor starts out like a lager with a kick at the end.

From Bottleworks in Seattle, WA--Poured a shiny, glowing, golden with tinges of red (not much). Saazy, hoppy, sweet, grassy, candyish. A bit one dimensional, but very sessionable.

I had an old bottle dated 7/25/07. So it already has that and the fact that I’m not a huge pils fan going against it. Clear yellow pour, bubbly two finger white head and even some nice lacing. Typical pils nose, slight skunking, pils malt and hop aroma. Tastes no worse than many European imported pils that get to the states skunky like Budvar. Dry pils maltiness, good balancing hop finish. Wnough of a bite to pinch the finish and no skunk in the taste. Surprisingly good, has held up very well over a year. I should try a fresh bottle.

Clear light golden, pretty much straw in color with a medium off white head, nice lacing. Aroma of earthy noble hops and pils malt, very clean. Taste is dry with pilsner malt, a bit of noble hops, sweetness is very light, body is on the lighter side. Finishes with some grassy hop bitterness. Very clean, well made, IMO a bit better than the ratings would indicate.

(bottle) very pale gold with small white head. Faint hop aroma. Flavor of light malt and slightly grassy hops.
