[Draft @ EB+B] Golden with a small, white head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of toasted malts, toffee, grass, saaz, and citrus fruits. Taste of toffee, almonds, toasted malts, citrus fruits, grass, and a lightly bitter finish.

From draught at McKenzie Brew House II. Nice light beany Saaz hops aroma with some pilsner malt sweetness. Muted nose but decent. Light yellow clear body with slight chill haze, topped with white lacing head. Medium light watery body with medium-light carbonation, soft and perfect for the style. Starts pretty hoppy and has nice tempered pilsner malty sweetness. Carbonic acidic bite in the finish. Overall, nice example but muted and slightly oxidized. Pretty good with robust bitter finish and malt sweet after.

tasted @ Malvern. pours light gold with virtually no head. the saaz comes right through in the spicy, floral aroma. light bitterness, slightly metallic. taste is light saaz hops, slight metal, lemon peel, slight maltiness and grapefruit. not bad. finish lingers with a lemony hint. a little oily, a little thin.

Had this at the brewpub in Melvern. Nice frresh just plain good beer aroma, perhaps a little tart. My sample looked more like a good hefe than a pilsner. It was cloudy, hazy and straw colored. Tea froth head. On the initial tastes, very mild on the taste buds. Not much pilsner bite and I appreciated that. However, as the session continues, there is a buildning pilsner bite that is sneaking up from behind. Typical pilsner finish, medium bitter linger. Pilsner bite end medium to mild.

on tap-pours a white head and yellow color. Aroma is light/medium malt, secondary hops-citrus, perfumy. Taste is light/medium malt balanced with hops-citrus/bitter-pine. Light/medium body. OK effervescence on front of the tongue.

Light golden color with pils/saaz mix in the nose. Taste is light and crisp, but falls short of the better pils you can find close by (Victory, Sly Fox). Crisp and refreshing, but average.
