Oct 29, 2009 Bottle. Not a big fan of this style but for a pilsener, not bad. Clean, golden color, what you would expect from a pilsener. The aroma is like most traditional, american pilseners. Had a nice bitter flavor that would have been better on a hot summer day. Recommened at least once.

Oct 29, 2009 Bottle at McClaren’s. Pours a light golden color with a fair head. The aroma is semi hoppy, certainly good enough to fit the pilsner description. It’s light, only slightly vegetal and crisp. The palate is again light and crisp. A little bit of malt character is here which reminds me of Fat Tire, but this is most certainly a lager. The esters give it away. Flavors of cereal, wood, and biscuits are here. Really, this isn’t a bad yellow lager, but I am puzzled as to why we just got this in the winter time.

Oct 6, 2009 Bottle. Pours a two finger, foamy white head. Clear, golden body. Nice, spicy noble hop aroma with underlying, summery pils malt. Flavor is of crisp, clean pils malt and more spicy, herbal noble hops. Some mild floral notes. Very basic flavors, but quite good. Light-medium, clean body with lively carbonation and a moderately bitter finish. Overall a straight up, no nonsense Pilsener. Tasty, refreshing and repeatable.

Sep 22, 2009 Clear golden colour with a frothy white head. Aroma is malty with some grassy undertones. Taste comes across a bit too corny for my taste. What could be a refreshing beer is a bit off balance.

Sep 16, 2009 Fruity lagerish aroma. Flavor has notes of biscuit. Hoppy, but only in a bitter way. Not much in the way of aromatic hops.

Sep 14, 2009 A very mediocre taste with an weird odor. The Blue Paddle just plain smells bad.

Sep 9, 2009 Fairly straightforward and boring - a slightly creamy mouthfeel - a lot of cereal grain flavor - a slightly spicy noble hop character, particularly in the finish - overly sweet/slightly under attenuated, like many of New Belgium’s beers - those noble hops are kind of the saving grace of the beer, but no even they can spice up the blandness.

Sep 1, 2009 Pours golden from bottle. Aroma of straw and hops. Flavor is minimal with hops, grass and malt. It’s a pilsner, but even though is has more flavor than others.
